Thats the thing right there. I don't think Toriyama or Kitase have ever been amazing. I think Hinorobu Sakaguhi and his leadership is what led them to success, when he left those two had no idea how to lead without him. If your reffering to Yoshitaka Amano, I don't think he was personally ivolved in the games' development, he was the art designer. Which is important none the less. In terms of other Japanese games, I think its the time and cost of developing games that has got the better of them this gen. I do agree with Infuane, collaboration is healty for both western and Japanese developers moving forward. By using the skills and experience from both sides I think that can result in better games. |
Every big head in square was personally involved in game developpement. They were always at least five to take decisions before the design document on a FF, and amano and nomura were involved many times.
