Falcom president on graphics criticism and Ys X: Nordics sales
Posted on 11 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.
