>>50607387>Bump of Chicken was done by the animators who worked on XY, SM and now Journeys, I can't name all of them but one of the big ones was Ayaka Koide.All freelancers and outside animators not permanently employed by any of the companies handling the IP, they don't even have anyone in a guaranteed long term relationship like Kojima with Yoji Shinkawa where you can know for certain that aspects of any future game or media are going to be handled by someone who knows their trade.
>>50607396If they're passionate then they're incompetent at their jobs, because Legends looks like an N64 game and plays like a Gamecube one. I'd also argue if they're incompetent that means they're not passionate by default because they're not working on their skills to make the best game possible. And their development times are not an excuse when much better games were made in less time from scratch with no existing material or game design to reuse.
>>50607499Yes, soulless ones are cold machines looking to minimize costs and maximize profits, however companies that have actual living people heading them also take part in risky passion projects and investing money into things that don't necessarily mean a ROI multiplier, like Laika which basically never turned a profit on their stop motion movies but keep making them anyway, or Riot going all out on Arcane's animation even though meme live action trash like Squid Game beat it in viewership.
