Tameem Antoniades is such a tool.
Yeah, don't bother clicking on the link. Dtoid is a malware deathtrap.
Rename it Edward Cullen: The Scene Kid Years.
The guy who wrote the letter has it dead on. Capcom, how about you just stop it. I mean it, really. Here's the formula. You know the cocky, corny, cheesy Dante (who actually does look like Sawyer now that the author points it out in DMC4)? People want to play as him. Not Nero (Dante-lite). Not some scene kid teenager who thinks smoking makes him awesome. Maybe Virgil (because hey, Virgil is cool). No, we want to play as ...
Well, at least their site got a few extra hits. Doubtful anyone's gonna go back though. lol
So we get to play as a scene kid with the handsome face of a chav now? Awesome reboot character design Ninja Theory!
Ha. Ha.
Who cares?
It still sucks as a Final Fantasy game.
Japanese gamers are even more insular than Western gamers when it comes to cherry picking what games they play. Their aversion towards western developed games is pretty well known.
I've played FFXIV (friend's in beta) and it is pretty. But it plays like every other MMO so I don't know if it'll really get any newcomers to come try it. FFXI was pretty too. Didn't turn out to be as awesome as SE was hoping it would be.
Vagrant Story and Bushido Blade. A chocobo game? Seriously square?
Ahahaha, I see the point Jim was making sailed right over the heads of a number of people. Oh objectiveness, were you ever there? LOL
Why is this article up and not the original?

Here, go read the entire interview before overreacting. Jeebus.
So basically, he wants an open world RPG with JRPG tropes.
Even Demon's Souls uses Havok Physics so I think the guy is completely spot on. As Inafune from Capcom has said over and over, Japanse developers are too set in their ways and want to do things in a particular way, even if that way is old and inefficient.
Go read a book.
Racist? Do you and others like you have some sort of reading comprehension problem?
Considering their Japanese devs made FFXIII (ugh), I'll give their western devs a chance. But if it just continues with the stupidity that is SE's view of what western gamers want (Nier? Ugh.) then they can finally just screw themselves. I'll be perfectly happy playing the classics.
Oh Japanophiles and their generalizations! (comments) LOL
SE has a habit of hyping things up but failing to deliver. That's been the case for over a decade now, this is probably the same. Even if they were to announce a new Chrono game, I'd still have little to no faith it would turn out well.
You know the difference between FFXIII and ME2? ME2 was actually fun to play through.
Lol, the FF fanboys are disagreeing with you.
Yes, once you reach the ending you can't free roam and just muck around the wasteland. One of the developers did comment that there will be a notice in-game that you're nearing the ending so you can go do whatever before you tackle the final mission.
