  The Downgrade of Quality from Japanese Games

  As we all knew started from 2007 to Feb 2010, there a lot expectation from japanese games especially for new generation console and ended with disappointments. Games like Infinity Undiscovery, The Last Remnant for Xbox360, Blue Dragon for Xbox360, Bayonetta for PS3, etc. In my perspective, this kind of failure happen because Japanese developers are to much concern about the detail that might made them forget to create an excellent game like final Fantasy 7 & Wild Arms 1 when this kind of game shown in the front of our eyes at the PS1 era.

  First, they put to much concern about the attribute on the screen on the same time. Game like Infinity Undiscovery, they carve to much attribute such as armour & sword with detail lighting & polish design when we saw the cut scene. But the important thing was not polish with depth effort such as the background story for every character especially the sub characters. I felt sad when the developer told to the public that this is the game that they dream about it, but turn to be just mediocre game. The same thing with The Last Remnant for Xbox360, as you all knew that the developer only concern about the graphic & just concentration on how to look cool. But it move to slow, the now loadings are too much. They even cancelled the PS3 version. What the hell. (but thank god the PC version is good)

  Second, game like Blue Dragon, they still use the old & old battle system on & on. they did not try to be more creative to establish a new battle system. Turn based on this game is very linear, nothing change. The depth attribute in characters skills are dull, even thou it can change job, but there is no significance unique about it. Overall when you play Blue Dragon, is just like watching Dragon Ball before the Saiyan story.

  Third, Bayonetta PS3 version is inferior than Xbox360 version. In this case, it was a misfortune port system that the developer may not notice or don't have time to fix it in my perspective (I try to be polite in + thinking). If they don't have time to fix it, at least they should delay the PS3 version to build the game into the superior as should be, not just replay without any solution. My suggestion is that they should inform to update the version to upgrade the graphic and erase the now loading time in the near future just like Namco Bandai did with Tekken 6 online minor problem.

  At the bitter end, japanese should change their point of view to create an excellent game not based on detail, but they must look the big picture which is to create a game that fun, run smoothly, and don't added a new now loading time.
