Ever hear of a game called Final Fantasy Mystic Quest? This was an FF game Square made specifically to market to "western audiences".

It was incredibly dumbed down and short. The only recallable mechanics were simple puzzles within the areas if you could even call them puzzles. Aside from this game having a story that's been growing over 10 years this has been the direction gameplay wise FF14 has been going and pretty much how they built FF16. The funny thing is that while everyone was outraged at Mystic Quest, western "game journalists" want to throw every award in existence at FF16 while the title's sales tanked in Japan after it's first week. Meanwhile this game continues to lose more of it's identity to appease the small amount of people who claim they have no time to actually play this game because of supposed work, kids, life, etc and feel the need to sit on internet forums for 23 hours a day telling everyone how busy their supposed life is.
