Yes but what I'm saying is that traditional gaming software/hardware do not need to be relevant in Japan to exist. And a franchise like Final Fantasy that is increasingly meant to appeal to a western audience does not need to be relevant in Japan to be justified. Of course lost sales are lost and there are means that could be taken to remedy to that especially in Japan (at the expense of the west) but Japan isn't Square's focus anymore for the Final Fantasy franchise and that's what this thread is about. And because of that probable success in the west there's no need to change the formula. |
I get what you're saying........but its not really relevant to what the OP is talking about which is the Japanese market.
