Recently, the Japanese gaming media outlet Denfaminicogamer organized a high-profile discussion between Nihon Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo and David Jiang, the producer of 'Honkai: Star Rail,' to debate the future of turn-based RPGs.
The most memorable moment of the interview came when David jokingly admitted: 'To be honest, this conversation feels like I’m using the company’s money for my personal Falcom fan activities.' The room erupted in laughter. As a massive fan of Falcom, David’s passion for the 'Trails' and 'Ys' series was clearly on display throughout the session.
Netizens had a field day with his self-deprecating comment about 'using corporate funds to fangirl.' Some users pointed out that previous collaborations, like the one with Evangelion, were also forms of 'company-funded fan service,' while others excitedly stated, 'If a collaboration happens, I’m whaling 10 packs immediately!'
The community discussion also touched on the current state of Falcom, specifically the revelation that over half of their new hires this year are from China. Fans jokingly commented, 'Looks like it's up to Chinese developers to save Falcom now.'
Additionally, the discussion touched upon David's approach to player feedback—acknowledging that critics are often the loudest while the majority enjoy the game—and a linguistic observation that '2D/ACGN games' should be translated as 'Anime-style' in a Japanese context, sparking further debate among enthusiasts.
