Its the battle director from FFX.  Most of the people who are working on FFXIII worked on FFX and FFVII

As much as I would like to agree with you, there is simply a difference in quality RPGs within the FF series and others. FF is still very high on the lists...
JRPG Hierarchy

Final Fantasy series Highest--------------->Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy series

Kingdom Hearts series

Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy series Lowest---------------->Final Fantasy XII
Shin Megami Tensei Series

I don't see how Final Fantasy 13 bombing would make Square Enix do anything but go into defensive mode and basically milk their properties even more. If you don't like the last couple of FF games then so be it, there're still plenty of other games they make that are different from what the FF series is now.

As for spin-offs, etc, I don't think that has anything to do with the production values of the games. I mean there are spin-offs for Dragon Quest and they even announced DQX before DQIX has even been released.

I just wana put this out there before anyone else
I have a feeling, once I finish FFXIII, I will have enjoyed The World Ends With You more than it.

I would like twesterm to bomb, then instead of shitting over everything like some sort of rare species of shitting monkey he may actually put a detailed, balanced argument forward that is more than just a one sided rant that lasts a few short paragraphs.

+1 to this

This:


I don't play Final Fantasy games for eye candy, I play them for interesting characters and a good story.

Explains why you think this:

... yet the Final Fantasy franchise has ranged from miserably mediocre to utter shit for more than 10 years.

I've never played a FF before but I'm planning to try 13 so I hope its good.

 No, that would be Motomu Toriyama, the director. He was talking about the battle director, Toshiro Tsuchida. he was in charge of Front Mission series when it was still alive.

If he is the director, what is Kitase doing?
