He's got bad credit. He sucked before he left. He came back, and his first project sucked. Why would I assume he would get better, when he's making the exact same mistakes he made before he got dumped by Square and stopped making games? Why should I not assume he'd still be bad at what he does?Aoshi00:You didn't play any of the stuff he made in Japan immediately before Spirits Within came out. Stuff like, "Another Mind" which was his brilliant idea to return to FMV games. It came with an entire disc of Sakaguchi talking about how awesome he was, and how he was a filmmaker who made video games, not a game designer. Roli:

Track record.. the dude hasn't done anything that I don't like, maybe except the fatal "Spirits Within" movie. Regardless can't wait till Lost Odyssey comes out.
