FFXI is the most atmospheric, well-written, and unique computer-game of all time.

I know what you're getting at here and the sentiment and situation is closer to elderly gamers; because, Frankly: the people who basically invented console gaming proper (1990s-1980s) are like, now in their 65-70s(?). I know they got some fight still left in them but these games are really actually really cognitively intense for them. It's a different world when you're older, it just is. So I understand why and how there are different difficulty and accessibility levels within a game, but at the same time: you're going to end up with a generation full of mush-brained idiots who can't do a business transaction to save their own lives without that skillchain > MB knowledge, and the people are hungry for intelligence.

Where's the Final Fantasy that makes use of all of those new (circa 2000) protein and enzyme structures? There's 25 years of biological and chemical 3D asset classes that built up from 3D academic graphics and journals. That's 25 years of unexploited new asset *classes*.

I haven't seen a single game actually trying to display and or make use of those types of naturalized art styles and concepts! For shame! Tons of work in the biological sciences, porphyrins, receptor ligands, protein folding and chaperons, put THAT in the game in the artistic aesthetic sense, build the engine off what was just done for COVID. The purchasers know you can do FF8, give the scrutineers a taste of the actual power that 25 years of biological and chemical computational physics have created! It's about art style and communicating that SE can actually drop those educational price points down to something comprehensible by their own children.

No one has done anything with the DNA libraries; genetics information; and protein structures in gaming, EVER. You're missing out on really smart and well paid people.

And as a game design company: you're not constrained to function like, the scientists are; and they'd help you out too they live this kind've stuff; they're a different kind've production unit, but the databases should be literate to SE and the university PHDs equally.

Bring on creative business unit VIII!

I don't know what happened to creative business units 4 through 6.
