Highest-selling director, and also the underappreciated one. The first name that pops on my mind when mentioning SE directors is Kitase, the original. One of the founding fathers of the best-selling RPG franchise in the industry. When I see the name 'Toriyama', I would first assume Akira, the game artist, and not Motomu. He only got the high sales, because of he's working on an already-popular franchise. To me, he will only be remembered as the FFXIII director, along with its trilogy.

Im so sick of toriyama. He's directed EVERYTHING since the ps1 era (save for XII and MMO's). TWO CONSOLE GENERATIONS!!! what the hell was SE thinking....
And out of all those games, only X was good(not great, mind you). X-2 is not very good, it just benefit's from being a sequel to a good game, thus still having some of the characters we still love. I hated XIII, and it is a pretty divisive game in the fanbase. XIII-2 was completely forgettable. I won't pay money for LR so i can't give an opinion for that game because i haven't played it.
Also, previous directors weren't releasing there games on 2 consoles. And more ppl are buying games than ever before, even tho we all know the XIII sequels did not sell well. IMO, toriyama has not been a very successful director.../rant
So does Kitase not direct anymore?
I kno 'the Guch is doing his own thing, and Ito is still there(working on something as we speak, i hope), and they got that Tabata kid. Is there any director's their i'm forgetting?
And let's say XV does REALLY well, does tabata direct XVII(assuming Ito does XVI)? And where does that leave toriyama? SE isnt putting out a game a year anymore...
