Pretty insightful comments from Yoshi-P in the latest Live Letter, and probably the first time I've seen a Japanese game developer express a feeling that western studios were producing superior games.

But I kinda disagree with him. I do likes me some Fallout or Witcher, but I still think today's JRPGs are better than western RPGs, and FFXIV is the best MMORPG out there today (but that's damning with faint praise).
