>>56532050It is not a lie. The Masuda wanting a miniskirt on Dawn during a heavy Winter is a known truth, you can google it up. The fact that he was off his studio for weeks when Ruby / Saphire was released is also true. He phoned in BDSP and was constantly absent from the development calls, Masuda didn't really spend the dev time in the studio with ILCA in China. He phoned it in. He was the one who announced the dexcut, even though he was not the game director. And when the game was released, he made sure on Twitter to throw Ohmori under the bus, reminding everyone that he himself had no involvement in the SwSh dumpster fire and it was Ohmori who directed it. Shigeki Morimoto also comments on the criticism from GameFreak during the development of HG/SS, which saw Masuda removed from game director position and just rehashing his old music, barely making much effort.
