Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Director Says Streamers Might Be Contributing To RPG “Crisis”
Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy VII Revelation, suggests that the popularity of game streaming might be contributing to a perceived "crisis" in the RPG genre. He theorizes that narrative-heavy games can be experienced passively through streams, potentially reducing the incentive for players to purchase and play them themselves. Hamaguchi emphasizes the need for RPGs to incorporate more player choice and decision-making to remain engaging.
