I dunno I kind of want to see what a modern military shooter would look like if made by a totally Japanese team, I can't help but think they would need to hire someone just to smack the entire development team every time they tried to insert bat-shit crazy elements like Metal Gear Solid does. I am imagining a Call of Duty clone, where you keep seeing where the developers have to stop themselves from adding aliens, superpowers, and blatant anime tropes, in order to try and tell a cliche Western gritty war story with a generic western white soldier protagonist. I like to think that's how Valkyria chronicles started out and then just spiraled out of control from there until we somehow got cute anime cliches in a World War 2 story.

To be fair to the west, they do have some cute as hell stuff, it's just usually more often non-human characters (I.E. the MLP ponies), the west just doesn't have a moe equivalent; which depending on who you ask, could be seen as a good thing.

The problem with that is that the Japanese team will add those elements because those elements sell to Japanese (nerd) audiences. I'm friends with a whole bunch of Japanese players of Western FPS games, but when they make their own fan characters and talk about what they'd really like to see instead of the grizzled Shootan Mans, it's inevitably bug-eyed moetastic 10-year-old girls with watermelon tits wearing miniskirts or just panties on the battlefield. (Basically, they want Call of Strike Witches.)

I love some of these dudes dearly, don't get me wrong, but I'd never buy that game, and neither would 99.9% of the core Western audience, and international players outnumber the Japanese audience by tens of millions.

I could write a whole essay about how most Japanese gaming companies have doomed themselves in terms of broader international appeal by targeting the core audience of extreme uber nerds at home, but hell several professional industry analysts have already done it for me.

THAT SAID. From Software has proven that your dream is possible, if extremely unlikely.
