SQUARE ENIX on E3: " The Lack of Japanese titles was almost Humiliating"

FFXIII is the best selling RPG on the big 3 consoles, it is JRPG. It is obvious the early concentration of JRPGS on the 360 was a huge mistake, especially when many jrpg fans were buying PS3 because they thought it was going to be the JRPG console like PS2 before it. It was not, and this divided the JRPG consumers who decided to wait thinking the PS3 was going to get a many new IPs along with FF13. FFXIII-2 and Dark Souls sales in the coming year will prove the huge fanbase of jrpg fans that own a PS3.

^This is pretty much my thoughts on the subject. I don't know why developers think that regardless of the merit of the game or where their loyalties lied in previous generations, that if they release their games MP or on odd choice consoles they will flourish....

FFXIII sold over 6mill(low for an FF game tho) which is pretty good in a FPS centric Generation(UHG!).

Whats wrong with Japanese games these days? I will tell you...

-Japanese developers, STILL, in this day and age cannot get dubbs right for many of their games. We are past the stage where we just over look these faux pas, we have tasted greatness and now we demand it. I don't understand how FFXII can have a FLAWLESS script and VO work when FFXIII is a total hit and miss(Lightning/Sahz GREAT! Snow/Hope/Vanille...Cringe!).

-Wrong placement of hit titles or horendous delays: Vesperia on 360 exclusively in America???? Star Ocean 4 times exclusive????? FFXIII,Tekken 6, WKC's super long development time?

-Unfocused development and obssession with "Westernizing" popular franchises, or as I like to call it, "Bastarizing".

-Over all quality just lacking:I have to bring up FFXIII again, sry. DMC4, don't know what they were thinking with most of this game.

-Non existant advertizing of games in West.

-Development budgets that america would laugh at:See anything NIS makes or publishes.

There are probably many many more reasons but can't think of them right now. Fixing these issues? Well that demands an entire essay.
