People who are 6th on the list of a game's credits don't leave all the time.

And the truth is that programmers/engineers are replaceable, but creative members of a team are not. If you replaced Uematsu, the music of the game wouldn't just be made by a different person, it would be completely different. If you replaced Yoshida (the other one) the game's characters would begin to look different over time. The World Planner is a big deal for the feel of the game going forward.

you even no for a fact nothing will change. Why even try to think this is important? In fact in this very game the main guy was taken out and we still are getting updates (and the game is looking better then ever) i bet 1.19 comes out in tuesday and all the other updates will come as well.

ARC will still have a harp (i made a funny) and jobs will role out without a hitch.

the main guys for the biggest game ever COD left and guess what? the game sold more and more each year. This will mean ZERO to each and everyone of us thats a fact.

You are getting all crazy about nothing. You will notice nothing that is a fact.

This will be my last post since this thready isn't really the place for discussion. Maybe I did come across too strong. I wasn't implying that there would be a sudden drastic or instantly noticeable change. My point is that it will have an effect on the game in the long run. That effect may not be apparent for another few months, to even a year, but it will be there. Maybe whoever replaces him will be more creative and brilliant with his designs, and craft a world that feels 10x more alive and unique than the current one. I have no way of knowing either way. At this point we can only have faith in the team.

And would you say the guy had been doing a good job up until now?

Don't forget the giant outpouring of people demanding the world be redesigned.

Is the story really that engaging? Memorable characters?

Is this guy leaving SE really going to be such a blow to this game's future?

This game has a fantastic setting, and a huge background which isn't used properly. But that's not his fault.

The story's premise is interesting and actually unique. The way it's set up leaves room for a lot of twists and revelations in the future. Lot of interesting characters have been introduced.

Now someone else is going to take over, look at the previous work, and build the rest of the game in a direction of his own. For one, he may not be as talented as the original world designer was, and secondly he will have a different take on the game's lore and story for sure. Inconsistencies with the original design will follow, at the very least.

Especially if he is pressured by the developers to make up bullshit to justify gameplay features that's going to be a huge challenge, as to not make it seem like it has been patched together at the last minute to give purpose to the gameplay feature that doesn't really fit the world in the first place.
