>the audience's reaction after, as if the artist can control that.
You seriously think artists have no influence over whether their designs are successful with audiences or not?

Hm, not seeing anything there about thinking JRPGs are subpar. Maybe you're interpreting "the staleness of a 15 year old video game" that way, but that's not what he's actually saying. Of course Toby is pro-gay (and probably has a yuri fetish), no surprise there. The games he makes have plenty of gay characters.

You don't make an elaborate romhack of Earthbound when you're 16 if you think JRPGs are subpar.

If The Legend of Zelda was so well-received, why did they change the formula in the second game?
