2y agoGod I love listening to stuff like this. Makes me miss Iwata Asks.
This is also why I think games getting remasters or remakes must be carefully considered, the work put into a project can never be fully replicated. It's not just the writing and art that needs to be transferred/ respected, it's also the programming and design that's so easily overlooked these days.
