Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Director Says Gameplay Streams Pose a Huge Challenge to RPGs

Streaming can give free publicity to a game, but in the case of story-heavy genres like RPGs, there’s the danger that people will be satisfied just watching someone else play through the game.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy director Naoki Hamaguchi recently spoke out about this, saying that gameplay streams pose a huge challenge to RPG makers, as they need to ensure that their game is interesting enough that players actually want to pick it up and play it themselves.
