You really wouldn't be satisfied either way would you? If Tabata wants to address a story aspect, especially if it's something that is going to enhance something, I think a good number of people would like to know what that would cover including you. Besides, a lot of people already got the silent treatment from Nomura (from what I have read from others he isn't too big on interviews), which killed the interest in the project for some people until later on.
I don't understand.

I'm going to have to agree with these.
*Smh* it's causing more harm than good. From what I'm reading, people are outraged that he said those things, even the fans who like the game.
I don't know anyone who wouldn't prefer a "comprehensive and perfectly balanced story" over the storytelling as it is now.
Very, very badly worded and phrased...
It's good that he's being transparent, but in some cases it's better to stay quiet and hold a few cards close to your chest. This would be one of those times.

I agree with this, but also...
With how its translated, the story comment makes him look like he's justisfying why they intended for the plot to be full of holes in the first place, which feels out of character imo. I feel theres way more to it than what we're being lead on, or that it could be another weird translation.

If any story is to be good and engaging, it absolutely must be "comprehensive and perfectly balanced."
Saying he decided to choose a method where the storytelling was non comprehensive and not balanced because it was seen as a better alternative is one of the worst decisions I have heard of in a very long time. In other words, it's a very bad way to justify why the story is the way it is now.
There's more to it, but I have a feeling he was made to say this by the company.
Still think he should've been quiet about this though. That or phrase it in a way that would appease to people instead of making them angry. Very bad PR move.

My source was the latest issue of Game Informer magaizne. Should have been more clear when I was giving them credit in the tweet.

I would disagree with that. There are plenty of great hits out there that lacks a solid story but still delivers a enjoyable experience. I'm a movie buff and I've watched a lot of movies. And it's really hard to find stories that are perfectly balanced. Even when the story is good, the delivery can fall short, leading to a subpar experience. However sometimes, even with a subpar story, the delivery can make the film that much more enjoyable.
In a sense, there is no such thing as perfection and all it matters is personal perspective.

Fair enough. I was using an exact quote to make a point about the story development, since, of course, there is no such thing as "perfection".
The game itself is extremely enjoyable no doubt. I just find his explanations for the story to be in poor taste with bad timing, even though I do like Tabata.
The issue is, if you're trying to justify your method of storytelling in the face of criticism and backlash, it is not a good idea to use the phrase "comprehensive and perfectly balanced" as a comparison point. That's practically shooting yourself in the foot >.<
