I was just thinking with all the games with character creation/modification why has'nt Square done it on the consoles?
Any Thoughts?

This is inherent of most JRPGs.
i would almost blame final fantasy for this
It's just really easy to restrict players to predefined characters because it's a very tried-and-true literary method of storytelling. It's much easier to write for a character when you know exactly how he or she is going to behave.
Older RPGs like Wizardry never really had this problem because they were all just text in a first-person perspective world. Granted most of those old RPGs never really had stories like we see in games now. Whether or not this is a good or bad narrative approach is up for debate.
