It's Been Fun

If Natsuko Ishikawa isn't personally writing 8.0 I'm already prepared for it to be garbage. She seems to be the only person at this company who can write a decent story anymore. No idea why they didn't have her write 7.0 when she was entirely the reason ShB and EW (aside from the patch cycle) were considered successful. My hope is she asked for a break for one expansion to write the next few all at once or something, but admittedly I am just huffing some PREMIUM copium there.

Ishikawa personally writing 8.0 won't safeguard it from being "garbage". If anything it'd make it more likely to be "garbage" when you consider she personally oversaw and approved DT's writing as good enough to release. Don't forget that Smile was her idea as well.
