@leimonides @mack10 Well, @leimonides said it perfectly. Japanese games have their own unique taste to them. Western games also have one, but those two tastes are mutually exclusive. Its not a matter of which is better. Its a matter of keeping both unique tastes and not messing one of them up by forcing it to taste like the other.

@tachsniper adding on to @mack10 , I think the game market is very accepting for hardcore Japanese games. Don't get me wrong, I love western games (including western RPG) and I do not want them to be influenced by Japanese games. I think Japanese games should stick to being Japanese games, to keep their fans cheering, and western games to do the same. I just think that the "in-betweens" are not as successful.

I hope he gets well soon, and Square Enix should really consider going back to classic JRPGs like FFV-X. I feel like its been westernly influenced, which isn't bad, but they should loose that signature feel in their games.
