Xenoblade Chronicles producer - Gamers want innovation, JRPGs aren't dead
"Players always want more innovation, not just in RPGs, but in all games. If players don’t get as much of a sense of innovation from RPGs, that means that the genre is aging and dying and that we need to rouse ourselves into more intense action. However, we don’t believe that RPGs are dead yet. RPGs give you the chance to experience saving the world (albeit in a simulated way). I want to believe that this experience has meaning in our modern world, which is so difficult to save." - producer Tetsuya Takahashi
The Xenoblade Chronicles team certainly managed to pump out a title that gives JRPG gamers what they want, all while showing Western gamers that the genre is well worth our attention. Let's hope this title starts changing some minds and opinions.
