Jim 2,990 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Toriyama needs to get freaking fired from Square Enix. He does nothing but run his own ideas into the ground. I hope his most likely crappy next project becomes vaporware to make room for more projects from directors with actual talent like Tabata, who actually care about making a good game. He gives us his "raituningu," a character that he's so freaking proud of THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN DESIGN, gives her ok-game-with-some-redeeming-elements a sequel that nobody wanted but with an actual good villain that someone else probably wrote to give his stupid waifu something else to do in the plot, AND THEN COMPLETELY ABANDONS THAT AMAZING VILLAIN AND GIVES HIM ONLY 5 ************ING MINUTES OF SCREEN TIME IN THE FINAL GAME SO HE CAN SPEND THE WHOLE TIME ON LIGHTNING AND HER JIGGLE PHYSICS SO HE CAN PLAY THE GAME NAKED AND RUB LIGHTNING FIGURINES ON HIS SKIN IN THE MOONLIGHT YOU CAN EVEN SEE IT IN HIS INTERVIEWS, HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT HIS ACTUAL GAME MECHANICS AND JUST SITS THERE LIKE A FREAKING GOOBER WHILE SOMEONE ON HIS TEAM WITH ACTUAL TALENT TALKS ABOUT THE GAME THAT THEY'RE AT LEAST PUTTING SOME EFFORT INTO, WHILE HE TALKS ABOUT LIGHNTNINGINGNGGNG. JUST LOOK AT LIGHTNING RETURN'S SECRET ENDING. PEOPLE ON THE DEV TEAM WHO ACTUALLY GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THE STORY WANTED TO GIVE IT A GOOD RESOLUTION BY HAVING HER MEET WITH SAZH ON A TRAIN LIKE IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING OF XIII -1. BOOKENDS AND PARALLELISM LIKE THAT ARE GOOD STORYTELLING, BUT NOOO TORIYAMA WAS LIKE "nu it shud begin n end wiff mah waifu liiigghhhhttttnniiiiinggguuuuh [sic]" HE DID FINE WITH 10 BECAUSE HE HAD OTHER DIRECTORS WITH ACTUAL TALENT ON THE TEAM AND NOJIMA WRITING IT BUT HE WENT TO 10 - 2 AND THEN THAT FREAKING AUDIO DRAMA WHICH UNDOES EVERYTHING IN 10 SO HE CAN MAKE MORE GAMES WITH CHARACTERS HE ALREADY DROVE INTO THE GROUND. Long story short, Toriyama is easily the WORST director at Square Enix right now, and I don't want to see any more games from him. Notice how Square announced their big guns this year and they all look like they're actually gonna be good? Notice something in common with all of them? No? Well then let me tell you one reason why they all look so good: BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ARE BEING DIRECTED BY TORIYAMA.
