Why? Has anyone bothered to ask? Have we examined the likely motivations behind such a decision?
Not sure of the reasoning, but it's completely true. A few years ago there was an article where ... Nomura (I think?) was quoted in an interview having been asked a question along these lines, about why they don't make their games more for their growing audience. His response was that it was natural to grow out of Final Fantasy and that it had always been aimed at teenagers and they always want it to be aimed at teenagers. Every year or so a topic like this comes up and I bring up this interview. And every time I am asked to quote and cite it. And it's always a pain in the ass to find. I've quoted it at least twice in my 7,000 posts lol So its in there somewhere if anyone wants proof. The person who said it, or the company themselves may have changed their tune since. But it is on record, and it stands to reason by their actions and creations that when it was spoken, it was definitely spoken in truth
