Re: Confession: Conspiracy theories you maybe kinda sorta believe... a little bit?

Could be. The same effect really ruined any chances DMC4 had of being good. DMC3 was the first installment of the series that sold far better in overseas territories than in Japan, and instead of going "yay! foreign fans like us" like sane companies *cough*From Software*cough* Capcom went "oh no we're losing all of our Japanese fans!" and altered what was originally going to be a Vergil-centric game (the most popular character among Western fans by a landslide, but not so much in Japan) they inserted a brand new Generic Angsty Pretty Boy (Nero) to appeal more to Japanese fans, and his UBER kawaii girlfriend, who... just doesn't fit the tone of the series, at all.

Surprise, it was shit. At least, the Nero half. The Dante half was pretty fun. So half a game was shit out of xenophobic panic.

But #notalljapanesecompaies - when Demon's Souls did much better overseas than in Japan (against expectations - white people just like CoD, amirite?), From just fucking rolled with it and specifically sought foreign input for Dark Souls. And it was, frankly, one of the best games ever made, so..... ....?

From is also pretty small. I've noticed the effect is much much lighter in smaller companies. It helps that the Souls games are pretty western in style and affect, though.
