The one piece of media that jumps straight to mind for me as far as being a victim of focus groups is Final Fantasy 12.
The story clearly *ought* to be about Ashe.
The writers *wanted* the story to center around Bacsh.
...But focus groups insisted on a young boy protag, so we got Vaan, who had no real reason to be in that specific story... and who brought Penelo with him, whose only reason to be in the party was that Vaan was.
(I have other issues with FF12, but.)
