| IcaroRibeiro said: Imo Square Enix priority and ambition is to make a game that is also a piece of art that allow their devs to make the games they want. They seem fairly committed to it If they wanted to maximize money, they would have changed their approach long time ago Granted they are a business, and a bussines needs to be self sustainable, but Final Fantasy is their flagship IP, they seem to take pride of making games that burn everything that came before and try to reinvent the wheel |
To this I highlight Shinji Mikami's interview years ago about God Hand, he highlights that developers can at times be given too much freedom in achieving their vision and the result can be worse than if they weren't given freedom. The basic message is art is always just that and only appeal to those who gel with it which is what happened with God Hand while games may utilise art they're not in themselves art.
