We had another video by this creator posted here about a year ago. In it, he blames the 'downfall' of SquareEnix on the rise of Tetsuya Nomura and the creation of FF11 (separately, but they're somehow related also). It was a very casual take lacking in facts beyond what he "remembered." I wasn't impressed then, and won't waste my time this time.
Also, this thumbnail is ludicrously insulting, and I presume based on his other videos is not related to the topic of discussion. Saved my click.
Found the storyfag.
Actually, it is related.
A quick summary: game journos hate games and all wish they were covering movies and celebrities instead. They want walking simulators with political messaging that fits their biases.
Some game directors, Kojima included, have either lost confidence in what made them great (Metal Gear Solid) and desperately want the validation of "serious" media like movies, or just never wanted to make games to begin with. And they'd rather suck up to Epstein's Hollywood friends than make stuff that the fans who made their careers like.
I like Ptolemy. I don't recall the FF11 video specifically, but his videos are generally 100% aligned with the sentiments of early GamerGate: gaming tourists get out.
Which was also posted by this same account, which is all he does.
