>LGPE sized wrench comes in and Masuda has to direct that instead of helping with SWSH>leaving Ohmori to tackle the mainline console debut while talent is also being spent on Town>Ohmori literally confirmed 1 of the 3 development years is solely spent on planning, jesus christ>probably only 1 and a half years for actual development because the last few months was probably debugging and finishing "touches">realized they'd have to cull the dex and cut corners in the 2nd half of the game due to time running out>Town flops in the middle of this shitshow>gen 7 is well in the dust, can't delay it for another year (business decision, we know money takes priority over quality)>here we areAll I can hope is there was a lesson learned here.
