this has the same energy as Sakurai not doing another single-player mode like Subspace Emissary because the cutscenes got uploaded online. optimizing for such marginal problems lmao
why would this problem affect only RPGs? why is only the Japanese industry seemingly concerned about this (imaginary) problem? this is as out of touch as the idea that action RPGs are an "evolution" of turn-based and that's why FF can't return to turn-based
Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy director Naoki Hamaguchi talks about how the rise of streamers has forced RPGs to get more creative about player agency.
"One thing RPGs like Final Fantasy need to be careful about today is the possibility that people might simply watch a stream and feel satisfied without ever playing the game themselves," he said in a recent interview. "This is a bit of a crisis for the work itself, or rather, it's not something game creators can wholeheartedly celebrate."
