Tekken 8 director Harada is exhausted from demanding fans
Recently, a fan asked Harada why there is characters who are treated as “inferior” within the saga itself, using as an example Anna being treated worse than her sister Nina throughout the entire saga. To which he replied that He saw all the characters as his own “children” and that any other belief of hatred towards any of its characters was wrong.
He also explained that if all the veteran characters from the saga that fans want appeared in each installment, There would be no room for the creation of new ones. and for a game like Tekken 8, having 50-70 characters from the start would be unrealisticin all aspects.
After pointing this out, the situation worsened when another person stepped in and said that it would make sense from a “business standpoint” to stop introducing new fighters with each game release and avoid these kinds of problems. Harada After seeing it, he didn't seem at all enthusiastic about this proposal and He looked tired to explain the business realities of making video games.
Do you need me to explain it to you from all perspectives now? From now on, I will charge you tuition for classes on “what is game development”, “what is the game market”, “what is the game business”. Also, before we talk about your business perspective, tell me about your entrepreneurial background.
