I hate it when Western devlopers take over the development for these games, or the east try to "westernise" them |
Calling most Japanese games "Westernized" is a bit of an oxymoron. Many of them are already westernized to an extent. JRPG for example, is not a seperate genre, the Japanese did not design, create, or make anything new that didn't already exist in old RPGs. Aesthetics, and style alone is not enough to be a "new genre", especially when it comes to games. Plenty of Japanese games are about as westernized as their Animation is.
Did you see how Japanese art looked before the influence from the west? Nothing like Anime i'll tell you that. The big eyes, pulling inaminate objects out of nowhere, Eyes turning different colors based on moods, defying laws of physics, Gaining temporary supernatural abilities fueled by mood (hell Donald Duck could tear through a wall, and was pretty much indestructable when he went in duck rage mode), the ability to manipulate their density (ie enlarging their mouths when yelling, and other body parts like so)
These were all trademarks from Western animation that the Japanese heavily borrowed.
