I told myself I wouldn't trouble myself with GAF anymore but I'm nevertheless slipping into a miserable life spent shadowing it John Hinckley-style. =( it's just so incredibly frustrating when there's some really basic bit of info I could inject into a Square thread to clear things up but I can't! urrrrgggh!
like, "The 3rd Birthday" on cell phones isn't really a Parasite Eve game. It stars Aya but there's no continuity with PE series (she has a different backstory etc. here, sort of like how Cloud and Squall etc. appeared in Kingdom Hearts but the FF7/8 worlds were not actually in KH continuity, they were from Hollow Bastion etc.) and is said to be a pretty different kind of game. The original concept was Nomura's and the scenario is by Motomu Toriyama (FFX-2, FFXII Revenant Wings, FFX, FFXIII etc.) and a veteran screenwriter for Japanese animation and Tv whose name I've forgotten.
and, the teams for the PS1 and PS2 Musashi games were the same for the most part. though the scenario writer/lead planner for Brave Fencer stayed busy working on FFXI (he was the director for the last two expansions) so didn't work on Samurai Legend, so I guess you can blame the disparity on his absence if you like. but the rest of the team including the director is mostly the same.
and the scenario writer for KH PSP is Daisuke Watanabe (Chain of Memories, Thread of Fate, FF12). Nomura says the story for KH PSP will be very complex and serious as that's Watanabe's specialty.

God I hope not.
-
What is complex about Threads of Fate?
-
WHAT CHARACTER DO I CHOOSE BOY OR GIRL
-
just because he's good at complex stories doesn't mean he's actually been doing them for work, I guess?
like, one of my specialties as a programmer is working in functional languages like ML and Haskell, but it's not like that's what I've been getting paid to do.
-
then how come this guys stories haven't been that complex yet, just insanely stupid and convoluted
-
time, marketing concerns, strictures from management, ?
not that I have any idea about this, I'm just bein' hypothetical
but apparently he wrote most of Vayne's lines in FF12.
-
KH PSP is starting to sound pretty lame to me. FF12, Chain of Memories, and Threads of Fate all have shit scripts.
-
why would anyone want another kh? they'll just recycle the same disney worlsd with the same disney characters just with different random final fantasy characters that don't fit the world at all with an average battle system.
big whoop.
And these kh fans hate on mother fuckers for liking games that don't change year to year like Madden.
-
oh, I had some stuff to add to the discussion about what went wrong with KH2's story and event progression.
but I'm too tired right now.
-
Kingdom Hearts is amazing, though. I'm buying it. Yes, I am buying a PSP game.

Can you afford it considering you're getting fired tomorrow? ???

Square sucks. Well, they did publish Tobal 2, and that was cool, but that's pretty much it.
