Final Fantasy XV. SE tried pandering to the Western Audience starting with 13 and its sequels and 15 took it to another level.

Announced originally in 2006. It took them well over 10 years to make it and still turned out mediocre, 7 years to move on from the origional FF13. And imo it went even worse with the push to higher fidelity hardware and ARPG. Where they had to split the games over multiple years to finish the story. It wouldn't have taken them this long if they a) stuck to what they were good at - turn based combat b) stopped concentrating too much on graphics and put more into the story. I feel they they haven't learned much since the catastrophic failure that was Final Fantasy: Spirits Within.

Final Fantasy VII is going in the same path though it is better its still fragmented into smaller games. I miss multiple quality Final Fantasy mainline games in one generation. Something they won't go back to, unfortunately.
