![7 Most Powerful Attacks In The History of Final Fantasy [Commenter Edition]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/edYmOh-M0f0/mqdefault.jpg)
Sakaguchi is completely correct. The problem with the Final Fantasy series and with Square Enix as a whole is that they are averse to risk. They follow the cynical philosophy of all other publicly-traded companies: do what will safely make money for as long as possible, and when it doesn't anymore, latch onto whatever other trend the shareholders or market analysts say is the next cash cow and do that. That's just how it is. Corporate 'art' is forever stagnant because it can never innovate and never take risks. It can't because once a company is publicly-traded, it is law-bound to do what is in the best financial interest of its shareholders, and shareholders care only about what makes money. If a CEO takes a bold risk and fails because he believes in himself, or believes that's the right thing to do, or because he wants to stick with his own vision, he can be held legally liable and ruined. This ruination can include massive financial penalties and even jail time. But if he does what the shareholders want and the venture fails, well-- it's not his fault and so he can escape legal liability. This naturally breeds risk-aversion for those in positions of authority of a corporation, and it's the reason innovation ends up coming not from corporations but from smaller companies.
All of that is to say, I'm glad that this partnership with Square Enix is only that: a partnership. That SE's only job is to help bring Sakaguchi's game under Mystwalker to broader audiences (and get a cut for doing so) and is not owning or assuming creative control over the product, because if Sakaguchi were to work FOR Square Enix again, even if he assumed his old position, the game would be irrevocably changed as his obligation would be SE's shareholders rather than to his own vision. Likewise, any future titles he'd wish to create would be changed to fit SE's business policy and his creative risk-taking would be effectively neutered. Despite his failing with The Spirits Within, he has always worked better when allowed to actually do his own thing.
tl;dr Square Enix was doomed to mediocrity the moment they merged with Enix and went public and while its nice to see the father of JRPGs work with his old company again, it's to everyone's benefit he's not a part of them anymore and is just working with them as a partner for this title.
You speaking the Gospel I agree. Since he stepped down the heart of FF left with him... Ever since X (the last time his presence was involved with an FF) the series hasn't been the same.
Which is why the new games haven't been as widely loved by fans. Sure they make money like 15 and 16 but those feel like more western games with FF assets. I enjoyed them but they weren't Final Fantasy lol
This also why SE continues to remake and report 7 their money cow but the thing about that is thats scary because no new FF since X (non-remake) is hitting the mark. 7 is my fav in the series I loved Rebirth but to keep FF alive it seem they going to have to remake 9, 8 and 10 ...
I want DRAGON QUEST 1-3 remastered on PlayStation 4 damn it I can’t afford a PlayStation 5
Tetsuya nomura did not direct 13 in fact he was pretty hands off. he handled lightning's design and a few of the main cast's, actually it was Roberto Ferrari who was pretty much the main character designer and he's since become the character designer for FF 7 remake trilogy. Motomu Toriyama was actually director of 13. Nomura's first ff game to direct would have been versus 13 which he had to leave from after it became 15 and then tabata went ahead and made it his own thing taking out a lot of nomura's input in favor of what he believe the fans wanted. Technically nomuras debut ff title is FF 7 remake just the first one since he is not a director on rebirth.
I do agree spirits with is a better movie, fun fact it was an inspiration for mass effect.
"Has sakaguchi ever made a sequel"? I guess final fantasy ended in 1987 XD
You're right and thanks, I don't why I thought he directed 13... My bad y'all!
I didn't know Mass Effect to inspirations from Spirits with in that's craaazy! MS is one of my favorite games
Final Fantasy VII REBIRTH IS A MASTERPIECE
YES YES YES it is! My vote for game of the year! I still have PTSD from it lol
That intro had me rolling 😂
Thanks Glad you enjoyed it lol
@@GeakNewzNetwork I’m not a fan of the games Yoshi P makes but at least he pays homage to the ones that came before him and i respect that.
@@Suikojunkie I feel that. I want so bad to get into ff14 but the lack of create of characters OH and the monthly subscription throws me off
