Spooniest, I applaud your determination to create this thread every year but I think it's unreasonable for you to expect a Japanese company to accommodate your decidedly Western expectations. Japan has completely changed, the young developers there are not the same people we grew up on and the developers we grew up on just just aren't the same people they were 20 years ago. Their market really has moved on from console gaming, it's why Kitase and Sakaguchi are reuniting for a mobile title of all things.

They're capable of making the greatest games in the world but I'm not going to lose sleep if they dont. I'm content trying out newer game experiences and picking up older titles when I feel the itch.
