Shouldnt be surprised though, the options also show the same bias... I mean WHERE THE FUCK IS YUJI HORII?? No Harada, Yamauchi, Muramori, Nomura etc. I could go on. But you know Takumi, Itoi, Takehashi and what not can get in. |
i'll give you horii and harada (i've already admitted harada was an oversight on my part), but do you really mean to tell me that final fantasy 1-7 (sakaguchi) < final fantasy's character design since then + kingdom hearts (nomura)? and given the spotty release record of dragon quest games in the west, i thought sakaguchi had the best name recognition.
i would have included nomura for kingdom hearts 1+2 and the world ends with you but someone suggested yu suzuki and i bumped him. sega's miyamoto versus the zipper guy. it wasn't a hard choice tbh. if i listed 30+ people, this would either never end or it would have to be a perpetual lightning round where two or three down votes (as opposed to six in this case) would have eliminated someone.
nowhere in the title did i say "best" or "most influential" or "best-selling"... just 20 well-regarded japanese game designers from among whom to choose... no-one is under any illusion this is definitive. it's a forum game.
