Despite all the bruhaha over FF7 Remake IMO S-E's Japanese RPGs won't resonate with Western gamers as much. The realistic graphics will make their RPGs look ridiculous to the Western market IMO. Like the J-Pop boy band look and all that isn't going to fly this gen. 90s/early 2000s are over. 

Its the otherway around... over time S E has been makeing more "normal" and western looking games.
