Square Enix is technically the same problem. With more recent Final Fantasy titles coming out, I think they're trying a little too hard to make a perfect visuals engine. If anything, a very good FF installment should have more focus on the story, characters, and even gameplay (if necessary). Then again, I don't exactly care for any RPG game, regardless... though I'm simply eager enough to try a Paper Mario title in the future.

THEN we have Capcom, who (as you pretty much know) is my darkest enemy. In the past, they were such legends and cared for nearly everything in their games. It's a hit-and-miss for some of the company's fans, nowadays; being a miss for me. All Capcom is really busy with at the time is making a lot of fighting games, which would be amazing to me if they didn't have to constantly milk money for DLC content and expansions every couple of months or so. Capcom also brings in as much "fanservice" (no, I'm not referring to sexual content, either) as possible. Fan input is getting a bit out of control, too... as in the case with Street Fighter X Tekken (an upcoming fighting game using the Street Fighter IV engine with Street Fighter and Tekken characters), they want characters such as Jun Kazama (Tekken 2) and even R. Mika (Street Fighter Alpha 3). Isn't that a little bloody redundant!? My thoughts would be to focus more on better music (kick Fukasawa out for cryin' out loud!) and gameplay, and very little on graphics and/or roster amount. Overall, Capcom is less concerned about development as far as I see it.
