Asano: We want to make RPGs fun again
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in DS, News | 1 Comment
Final Fantasy Gaiden: 4 Warriors of Light producer Tomoya Asano said in a recent interview that he believes that many people preferred RPGs from an older era over those from today. In this light, he wants to make FFG:4WL more like those classic RPGs, and subsequently making them more enjoyable for the player.
“People often say that RPGs used to be more fun, so I’ve given a lot of thought to what the difference is between modern and classic RPGs. One result is that the story here is not told in events, but instead through NPC conversations as much as possible. Another is that much of the plot is left to more interpretation by the player, allowing them to enjoy the game world while using their imaginations to picture it in their mind.”
