Falcom president on graphics criticism and Ys X: Nordics sales
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Falcom recently held a financial results briefing, and during the event, one investor had some criticism for the graphics in Ys X: Nordics. President Toshihiro Kondo responded with some interesting comments.
Kondo mentioned that Falcom is giving consideration to the graphics in its games, but the main issue seems to be time. With the company looking to put out at least one new game each year – whether it’s Ys, The Legend of Heroes, or something else – maximizing visuals isn’t an easy task. Falcom is also putting out new titles with under 100 employees.
Here’s our full translation of the exchange (originally relayed by X user michsuzu in Japanese)
