"Video games is ultimately an art form. Sometimes you try stuff and it doesnt work out. You learn adapt try again (if you can). Failure is just success work in progress Argue about the failure of Highguard forever and many upcoming doomed titles- I am pretty sure no one on those teams set out to fail or make a bad game. Many folks seem to equate failing at market with being lazy. Bad choices for sure but game dev is too hard to be lazy.

"One thing people keep omitting about this sentiment is that FF9 and FF10 were not mainline FF games when they started development they were changed into mainline FF games mid dev FF9 was originally a spinoff "FF Gaiden" title with a focus on a job system and with entirely different cast before it was reworked as FF9 hell FF10 originally wasn't even a FF game while FF11 as an MMO also only became mainline because Sakaguchi fought for it in contrast to the dev team that were against it being mainline then in turn the only reason [--] as an MMO is mainline is because [--] was. If that didn't happen"
