Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director says streamers have caused "a bit of a crisis" for RPGs, and it's up to devs to make sure fans actually want to play a game themselves
Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, expressed concern that the rise of game streaming could lead to players feeling satisfied by watching content rather than playing games themselves. He believes developers must create experiences that inspire players to engage directly with the game to overcome this "crisis" for the RPG genre. Hamaguchi stated that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is being developed with this challenge in mind, incorporating player choices that impact progression.
