We wouldn't have gotten Wind Waker or Metroid Prime or Wii sports if all they did was listen to complaints. Heck the DS and the Wii were met with criticism and doubt initially. |
I think you got the wrong quote, but either way I know what you're getting at. But listening to see what kind of experience fans are wanting doesn't mean changing every little nitpick. Developers need to know when to creatively put their foot down. But it can give them direction. As someone said, the sailing in the original seemed far too slow in the original, so they sped it up a bit. Creatively it's still in tact. Just like (I imagine) what Monolith Soft is going to take away from fan reception is a more focused story, a soundtrack that is more classically based like Xenoblade on Wii, and they are currently hiring 3d character designers as of Aug 31st. All things I think would better serve the Xeno series in whole.
