Konami stopped giving fucks to the Silent Hill franchise and outsourced it to western devs. Still, i liked homecoming as an action horror game. But before Homecoming there was already a western made Silent Hill for the PSP. My question in the previous post is where is the japanese devs making games catered to westernfags because of AAA game development of the XBOX360 days? Handling over japanese franchises to western devs is not the same thing imo.
Maybe backing up your point, or not, I'm not sure. You're asking for moments Square changed games because of demographics before 360? Square famously made Vaan the main character in Final Fantasy 12 because of the poor sales of Vagrant Story in the West. Vagrant Story had a "rough", "middle aged" man, so they decided to NOT make Basch the main character of FFXII and create Vaan- an "innocent", "child like" character and throw him in at the very last minute.
- From FF Wiki -
"The development team explained that their previous game,
Vagrant Story, which featured a "strong man in his prime" as the protagonist had been unsuccessful and unpopular; the change regarding
Final Fantasy XII from a "big and tough" protagonist to a more effeminate one was thus decided after targeting demographics were considered".
