Yasunori Mitsuda was also kicked out as composer, and Yuki Kajiura was brought in. That one admittedly wasn't so bad.

    The rest was apparently a mixture of their original story and the vision of the new director. To be honest, though, the story felt pretty consistent to me throughout, and I don't think it suffered so much from the new director as from poor sales causing it to be cut from six games to three, and thus the necessity to summarise like...everything.

    ...

    So let's blame people for not buying the first game?
    No, let's blame them for not making the game good enough so that more people would actually buy it.

    But we already have Culise~

    Besides, memorising the names of those involved in the creation of Japanese RPGs is not high brow. It's just a couple of notches above memorising the history of your favourite wrestler.

    You know, I actually thought when I was typing this, "I know that this sounds like douche, but Ray isn't here, so I think it's probably okay."

    ...

    In hindsight, I really should've known better.

    One against an army. In a situation like that, backup never hurt.

    Sadly enough, I've done just that.

    No, you just have a keen ear for soaps being dropped.

    You seem to forget that Culise is an army. If I may draw a very high-brow RPG-related analogy, you know that scene in Kingdom Hearts 2 where Sora stands in a canyon filled with thousands upon thousands of low-level enemies? And all you really have to do is keep bashing triangle and X and watch the fireworks? Yeah.

    Well to be fair, I still know almost all of the script to the first CD of Final Fantasy VII. I'm in no position to judge.

    That's FF7. If I was talking about the WWE or such, it'd be the same.

    I can trace the lineage of certain indy titles. It's more akin being able to quote Megami Tensei dialogue.

    At Hypnos:
    He's responsible for the final one.

    Besides, a religion started by a schizo and a whore? What else do you expect?
