From Software's new home.

Full Story at CVG

So I just got wind that the Japanese publisher Kadokawa just bought From Software of my beloved Souls series fame. In a way this seems as though it will be a huge boon to From's dev team and definitely for the future publicity of their titles, but the one part of the CVG article that really concerns me is the mention of a new IP, aimed at the west. 
What good has ever come from Japan aiming anything at us. Especially titles?? Remember how Final Fantasy used to be really good and then they remolded the entire series to appeal to an imaginary western and action oreinted audience once they got wind of how popular the series was getting/had gotten in the states? Or for a more apt example remember how Japanese games like Lollypop Chainsaw and Killer is Dead basically flopped in the US? Both examples of new Japanese character action games that were in my opinion, focused on a western audience and coincidentally both also published by, you guessed it Kadokawa. Now, maybe I'm worrying too much to fast. It's possible, I'm by no means an industry expert but I'm not of the belief that you need to be in order to notice negative patterns like this forming. I suppose, however that if they could somehow get Miyazaki back to direct the next Souls game I could be persuaded to forgive any and all misbegotten JCA games they produce during this partnership. You hear that From? I need my deep and fascinating worlds and lore back.
