Artists need freedom. If you tell an artist what exactly he has to do, you get shitty results. If they choose to make a totally new battle system or even alter the story and whatnot, I will just try it and see if it is any fun. I won't tell the developers how to do their job. I'm pretty certain they are more talented than me anyway. I do, however, have enough imagination to believe that there are countless ways of improving the battle system of FF7 and there are also completely other ways to do it while still remaining fun and rewarding. If you ask me how exactly such systems would look like, I can't give you an answer. But it's also not my job to think about such things. If you know what I mean. |
I'm pretty sure many people who love to be able to make games. You do not have to know how to programme in order to recognise what you would like in a game series over 20 years old.
This anaolgy you put forward is odd though. Let's say someone is told in an art class 'Reproduce Sunflowers by Van Gogh'. What they do is reproduce Sunflowers by Van Gogh, like they were asked. If the person asking them then says "Why didn't you change it?" The artist would be confused as that's not what they asked of them. People commission artist to do all sorts of work and expect it to fit a certain criteria and while in this case we as fans are not commissioning it, it's up to the developers to change it as they see fit but the produced product will still be Sunflowers... right?
Or will it be Self Portrait with Grilled Bacon by Dali when we expect Sunflowers by Gogh?
... I know what I'm on about. Change the battle system, different game, it's the main gameplay after all.
Hmm, pie.
