Sounds like Baba wants to make something more akin to Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Symphonia (maybe more leaning towards Phantasia), though the light-heartedness without a "blood-thristy atmosphere" makes me think of older RPGs where you experience the world at a slower pace and are allowed to take in the surroundings while evil still looms in the shadows and (through the course of your adventure), you peel back the layers of what's afoot. Nowadays, it seems like more RPGs are "danger, danger, danger" and urgency (no time to rest, bad things are HAPPENING!!). As a result, you are rushing around because the danger's on your tail. There is still mystery, but not like before. Where as, in older RPGs, the mystery might have been "what is the threat?" (there is a hint something is going on, but that's uncovered throughout the adventure), the threat is very clear in newer RPGs, but the specific individual (and motive) behind it might still be unknown (and revealed via a twist).

So this is just going to be a thread where people say wrong things. Cool, let me join in:
This is clearly where the next Final Fantasy comes from, right?
lol. its true though.
an overabundance of fanservice to mask paper thin plot contrivance nonsense with inexplicable outcomes based on nothing but because the writer felt it would be cool without thinking about anything else

Fairy Tail. It's a harmless and fun Anime. Yes it's generic, yes it relies a lot on the "Power of Friendship," but you know what? The characters are unique, the world is beautiful and it's just a fun show to watch. Granted I've only gotten through about 80 episodes out of a couple hundred so far, lol. With that being said, here have been some really REALLY good moments so far in the show.
The lighthearted, bright and fun world from anime/Manga would fit perfectly with this show.
Oh and you've probably heard the theme before because it is great:

LOL, savage.
That reminds me, I hope Tales manages to ditch the stupid -ia endings now. =P
That's because you believe your opinion is the one and only true one. I like Star Ocean 1 through 4 a lot. Must mean they're total shit because YOU say so?

It's okay to like bad games. Hell I like SO4 too even though it has admittedly has some of the worst writing in jRPG history (which is why I find it entertaining).
I wonder what system he could possibly mean? There's so many stationary consoles on the market like the PS4 and.... the PS4 Pro.
I like that he says he wants to focus on consoles. Slight glimmer of hope. Although he does go right on to talk about business opportunities on mobile, bleh.
Dunno about the whole "affecting the story and characters" bit in the post you quoted, but I'm still annoyed that additional costumes are almost all DLC instead of side quest unlockables from Graces onward.

Don't forget the PSTriple, yo.
It's had a good run but its time has passed.
