He saved XV so I respect him. He also has good taste in vidya.
Are they unable to have dev teams that can complete games without having to save them at the very last minute?
>FFXII: Matsuno leaves mid development a new director steps in to rush it to completion
>FFXIII: The project becomes so bloated and overbudgeted that needed a massive downscaling into an hallway simulator
>FFXIV: Jesus H Christ
>FFXV: Project stagnant for years with no progress, square assigns a new director that rushes it into completion
It's a goddamn nightmare.

I think XV is Square admitting that they fucked up between X and XV by mismanaging all these projects into oblivion
XV is like a new dawn, fulfilled by FF7R and KH3

Well to be fair in FFXVs case it was right during the transition from the old conpany structure to the new one. Most of the problems came from the old company structure when Wada was in charge. Once Matsuda took over in 2013 I feel like SE turned over a new leaf, and the only two projects that started before that restructure were XV and KH3.
