Keiji Inafune talks about Japanese Games: how it relates to XIV

[Denmo]

So what? Japanese devs are better than westeners anyway. The truth hurts , but it's still the truth. While they make one bad game, 10 others are good. The same cant be said about western devs.

Those games take longer because they are RPGs. And square always AAA. They always try to innovate and create new gameplay styles. That's why it should take longer. I don't mind the wait. The only mistake they made was announce it. Creates expectation because people are impatient. You can't compare square which runs 5-10 projects at the same time, with a company like naughty dog, which runs 1-2 titles the most at the same time for example. Or compare With activation which milk the same COD engine for 10 years. Square used the same engine for final fantasy xiii-2 and the game took little over a year for completion. It was good, but that's not what I expect from square. We always expect innovation and not AAA game, but a AAAA game. Yes, in a market that calls Call of duty AAA, final fantasy should be called AAAA. At least final fantasy xiii and versus. Due to the level of polish and care.

I keep forgetting that this level of fan-dumb is to be expected on a Final Fantasy forum.
