Was Square waiting for Sony to get back on top?

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.

I don't think FFXV is going to be the game the average American kid looks at and says "yeah this is cool". Doubtful on that. That look works in Japan, but in the US ... not so much. 

In general too I think in the 90s/2000s Square's games were more impressive because they were one of the first studios to really push ahead with CG cutscenes, but today that doesn't impress anyone. Every game has that and what's happened is people have started to notice flaws in the gameplay.
