Katsuhiro Harada says that he might've failed as a producer because of what he focuses on instead of cutting costs

Interesting interview.

Ehhh... I also heard from somewhere that cutting costs can also be a detriment in video games as well. There definitely has to be a balance to that sort of thing.

He's right that development costs are getting higher and expensive with gaming. The next game could potentially be overly ambitious as you'll probably want more budget to realize vision. The more expensive things get, the harder it is to get it fully realized because it just gets costly over time. Being a video game dev or director/producer in a big ass company is starting to sound more miserable by the year lol.

Reaction on Miary Zo:

Eh. Her moveset is more fitting in 2D than 3D because most of her stuff rely on her "staff", which she holds on to like a stripper. That also includes her Ogre powers, which she use a lemur's tail in almost the same animation from Mai's Ryuuenbu. And she will annoy players, I mean seriously, they gave her a movement where she hops in the air with the staff disappearing and reappearing while making monkey sounds(?). And it go nonstop until she has the opportunity to attack.

Also, hardly any SC reference as her staff is more of a prop.
