Eh, I already have an endless supply of Western games. I'm happy to have games from a different culture rather than "more of the same". Not every series in the world needs to be overly westernised.

Although... I must admit Final Grand Theft Fantasy is a game I would probably play. Sandbox game in a fantasy world where instead of stealing cars and shooting other gangs with guns, you instead steal chocobos and freeze/burn/electrocute random citizens? Yes, please! But I would absolutely not want it to replace the traditional JRPG style we find in the FF series. If anything, I feel the intent of working towards making the game more suited to a Western audience has hindered FF more than it has helped. It was, after all, part of how they designed FFXIII. I'm sure I read somewhere that they were wanting to stick to the rawest of ingredients when making that game (and they stated that would be the battle system) and I'm also sure they did this while taking inspiration from Western games that have a similar gameplay focus such as Call of Duty.
