>>39002536Morimoto said in an old Iwata asks interview that he had colleagues coming up to him asking him why he was going so far, basically.
Which is sad when you read the page before it where he's talking about being so optimistic about including all of that shit.
The gist you get is that he was making the ultimate game up to that point (similar terminology actually comes up during the interview prior), and he had people there treating him like he didn't know what he was doing, just because he wanted to put so much effort into it.
