>who also directed the previous Fire Emblem game before it
"The director of Echoes" isn't quite what I'd want to have working on my project.
You're also ignoring how the entire rest of the staff was Koei. So IS sent one concept artist as a babysitter to Koei, and even then we don't know how much input he had beyond drawing the ugly character portraits.
