Hi. Thank you for your tumblr, I enjoy it so much. I supposed to be working, but because of you I have spend the last two hours watching to this amazing work. I hope to someday become a character design half of good as Mr. Yoshida, and thanks to you I have found new inspiration to keep working. Sorry about the terrible English, and greetings from Argentina.

What makes a great video game franchise? What is it that sets the difference between simple games and great franchises that will be remembered for years to come?

I am probably not the best person to ask, as I’m merely a casual gamer, but I think characters are the most important element! (Of any good game, book, movie…)

I love games with great visuals, but if I can’t relate or even like any of the characters, graphics mean nothing. And the opposite is true for me as well; if the characters are endearing, it doesn’t matter if they’re photo-realistic or 8-bit. I think if you have interesting characters than you’ll be more invested in the overarching plot, too.

Quick question, and I know this is going to sound dumb, but which game is that most recent post from? I've never seen it before and it looks very pretty.

That one? I believe it’s from a card game called Wheel of Eternity/Eternal Wheel.
