Good. What many Japanese developers don't realize, or at least didn't for the longest time, is the charm of their art style and story-telling and the impact it has on the West. We already get enough realistic or gritty styles from our own developers. To be honest, we do it better too. One of the greatest appeals to us about their games is how eccentric they are compared to ours. It's something very different. Now certainly games like Resident Evil work better grounded in a more realistic art style but that has a lot to do with what the game is. It feels more like a Western game at its core anyways.

I feel that SE is starting to get back on the right track, especially now that Yoichi Wada is no longer with the company. The interview also made me feel better on how FFVII: Re will turn out.

Wada's the head of the shareholders... Or something like that.   He still has influence.
