He's not wrong, but blandness is king in the AAA space.

It's taking over everything that corporations touch. Despite all their attempts to hide and distract from their problems, they only keep mounting because they refuse to accept the fundamental truth that it is literally impossible to strictly control the entire population the way that their systems are designed to work. Computer technology and the Internet have ironically actually solved our problems, not by controlling what people do, but rather by accelerating the enshitification process to a pace where their bullshit becomes abundantly obvious to everyone.

No offence to Tetsuya Nomura, I love a lot of the titles he worked on, but he doesn't have a single independent thought in him. Everything he makes feels like a remix of something else, like his entire legacy is loosely copying Hironobu Sakaguchi's successes.

Cmon, he put lots of belts and zippers on things and gave us the not at all convoluted plot of Kingdom Hearts, that's gotta count for something

Just kidding, Nomura and his enablers are the worst thing to happen to JRPGs

Lulu was rocking, though. So happy for Wakka.
