( I think there is an analogy in here, so if it is your petpeeve, then I am sorry. )
The Japanese devs trying to make games appeal to the West always strikes me as odd. JP devs can make good games since pretty much all of us here played Japanese games in our youths and we're from the West, born and raised. Yes, they should change how they make their games but they got to still keep their "voice" in it. I do not want a gaming monoculture. I want it to be diverse. Sure games being made that way will have more appeal in certain regions but a good game is a good game. Who knows, doing that may churn out an amazing game with world wide appeal.
And yes, I am comparing video game development/making to agriculture/cooking/ whatever that has core traits it need to have but the final product will still have a subjective element to it.
