Six months before the launch of #BalanWonderworld, a work order was issued removing me as director, so I filed a lawsuit in court against Square Enix. I would like to tell you that the court case is over and the work order is no longer in effect at this time. use translation tool

Square Enix that does not care about games and game fans is no good. According to the court documents, I was removed as director of #BalanWonderworld on two points. It was executed by the producer, advertising, sound, director in charge, and human resources.

First, a YouTuber was going to play the piano and publish the score of a game song for a promotion, and I got into trouble because I thought it was strange that the music was arranged and a ghostwriter wrote the score, and I insisted on publishing the score of an original song.

Second, according to the court documents, what I said in response to Arzest submission of the game without fixing it despite the fact that there were glitches in the development process. That my comments to make the game better are disrupting my relationship with Arzest.

Another point is that Oshima wrote in an e-mail to Fujimoto, "I just gathered the staff together and informed them about the matter of shifting the trial version. This decision was made by Producer Fujimoto. We will do our best for Mr. Fujimoto." The staff applauded and cheered.

The staff, who had tended to be down lately, has been revitalized. Thank you very much. The entire staff will do our best." but it doesn't matter because the schedule is decided by the producer, not me, and the producer decided that the schedule is tight. Something is not right.

I still think it is not a good idea to release an original game, only to have the sheet music of the arranged music available to the world. I think there is game music that everyone is familiar with that makes your mouth water, and I think that is the original game music.

I believe that a game should be made with the intention of making it a good game until the very end, so that game fans can enjoy it when they buy it.I think it is strange to remove a director who comments on a game without consulting him because there is not enough time to do so.

Retweets,likes,etc. on social networking sites,etc. were also banned,so I think Square Enix is not taking good care of their game fans. There were a lot of various comments and very nice illustrations of #BalanWonderworld,and I am really sorry that I couldn't do anything about it

I think it is only natural to request modifications to make the game better since we are making the game, and if we can't do that, we should just discuss it, but it seems that we can't do that. I don't think they are able to take care of the game.

Sonic the Hedgehog was changed two weeks before my master up to a spec where if you had even one ring you would not die. I did things that made the game better until the last minute,and I believe that everyone around the world is still enjoying the game today.#SonicTheHedgehog

Game creators are supposed to improve their games until the very last minute, and to prevent them from doing so is still not right. I asked for a lawyer and tried to negotiate with them to at least submit comments until the end, but to no avail, so I filed a lawsuit in court.

I believe that this case has a lot to do with the fact that #BalanWonderworld is getting the results and recognition that you all know. It is really unfortunate that a work that I created from the beginning has such a result.

It is a real shame that we released the unfinished work #BalanWonderworld to the world. I wanted to release it to the world as an action game in a proper form considering various things. I think Square Enix and Arzest are companies that do not care about games and game fans.

Every game you made has been a solid experience. Family Fishing is hands down the greatest fishing game of all time. Square Enix has fallen from grace and doesn't care about gamers or creators, just profit and their bottom line, they are completely out of touch.

This is really unfortunate. I bet Square Enix will not reply to this, but nonetheless it must have been a terrible experience. Please recover and be stronger than ever!

I didn't know that story, I feel sad for you and that project you really loved. You are one of the most passionate game developer I know and that why I loved each game you made. It sad to see we live in a world where most company care more about money than passion.

Businessmen hurt your Rodea game as well with their bad decisions. It’s a real shame. Keep moving forward Naka.

I'm really sorry Yuji Naka. I still enjoyed the game and even though it was unfinished, it has a really good story and has a good message about helping others.

Replying to

This is Square Enix we're talking about, they're known for mismanaging projects. I always knew something was fishy, and I knew a project you were involved in would never get derailed like this if it was under your control.

On top of that, SQEX doesn't have the best consistent track record with outsourcing projects. For every Nier Automata, there's two or three Left Alives and Babylon's Falls. Not an excuse, just a sad fact.
