And none of these people wrote the English Localization which when dealing with subtlties is very important. You can't translate word for word it doesn't work. Which was the amazing thing that was done with FFXII it had the best localization, out of basically any game I've ever seen. the people that wrote 12 were Taken from wikipedia. If I'm wrong show me a better source Also, you keep saying it wouldn't have been better if Matsuno let his full vision come together. How do you know that Hiroyuki Ito didn't improve the game from where Matsuno had it at? I mean Ito certainly is qualified enough he did co-direct or direct, 6 9. You can't say either whether matsuno leaving hurt or improved the game. |
i think Hiroyuki Ito did actully mention at one point that he was pleased with the Famitsu score, but he cites creative differences between the FF tactics and the Playonline team leading to conflicts in the story. and thus it was not as good as it shouldve been.
In FF12's opening and ending scenes, Matsuno is cited for the story and concept, the world of Ivalice is Matsuno's creation since its inception in FF tactics. and the other reason is because he originally wanted Basch to be the main character, the story actully dosent have much to do with Vaan and Penelo, so to me focusing on the core characters wouldve led to a better story. although theres probabily over a hundred other things he wouldve improved.
and i know Ito is an adept director, but do you think Inception wouldve been the same film had someone else had taken over from Nolan half way through production, or whether Lord of the Rings would've been the same story had someone else written the 2nd and 3rd books. the other reason is because Sakaguchi didnt play FF12 beyond its opening because he didnt think it would be the same game had Matsuno had finished it. that is how i know, had Matsuno completed his full vision of the game it would've been so much more than it was.
