Why I like SB MSQ more than HW

This asian culture metaphor was too much of a deviation from a final fantasy feel.

Have you ever played a single player Final Fantasy ever?

...do they really have that much explicit asian content though? The series has always seemed to be a japanese take on western fantasy tropes more than anything. I'm trying to think through the games and am coming up blank. Like they will put the occasional ninja or samurai in one of the games, but the general feel is a lot more western. I think the only one that would feel a lot more Japanese is Type-0, with the whole magic school academy uniform thing; compare that to FF8's academy and there's quite a difference.

I mean, like the only asian influenced non-MMO game I can think of that really makes it a centerpiece of the story is Jade Empire, by a western dev.
