Raganork10 06/13/17 5:04:02 PM #10:	Nomura. No, seriously, it's because Nomura is a perfectionist that - if Square didn't force deadlines on him - would never finish any game. He functioned best - and still functions best - as an artist; not a director. But for some reason, Squeenix has him working on flagship, massive titles concurrently all the time. From FF15 to KH3 to FFVII Remake. He was axed from FF15 because at least one new game needed to be released this decade. <cite>Raganork10 posted [p:881029349] in for real t...

Raganork10 06/13/17 5:14:59 PM #12:	Remember the golden age? FF4 - 1991 FF5 - 1992 FF6 - 1994 FF7 - 1997 FF Tactics - 1997 FF8 - 1999 FF9 - 2000 FF10 - 2001 All of that was released in the span of a decade. In the time it took to make that piece of shit FF15, nearly a dozen amazing games were released on an almost yearly-basis. Obviously times have changed and games have more effort put into them on the presentation front, but Jesus, even then, something like The Witcher 3 took three years to make. There's absolutely no excuse. Squeenix HQ is a mismanaged mess that appoints incompetent directors to lead games that inevitably wind up stuck in development hell, only to release to lukewarm receptions because of how unremarkable they are. It's beyond upsetting at this point. <cite>Raganork10 posted [p:881030201] in for real t... [t:75457069]...</cite> <quote>Remember the golden age?
