This sort of parochialism is an alarming trend in Japanese game development. And it's not even new—the "American gamers don't get it" mentality has been around since Square released a game called Final Fantasy USA. (Called Mystic Quest in the U.S., it was simple and straightforward, designed primarily to introduce…

Jason Schreier: Giving voice to the feelings of "bwah?" I've had since this announcement.

Oh, Square Enix. Until they start treating Dragon Quest with some respect I just can't believe their lies. I'm not asking for X, as I know MMO's are a risky proposition, but where they heck is the 3DS remake of VII? The proof is in the pudding, so to speak, not in your words. I can't understand why SE chose not to…

I prefer the Infamous 1 electronic stores. Big jab at Microsoft.

Pretty sure I do want to rob the world of that. Wait, let me check....

I'm not sure any game without a restart button is perfect. The continuous save function is way too aggressive. And if you miss a required item or exp boost, there's often not even a way to go back for it. It's not a bad game or anything, but also not 10/10.
