Hitoshi Yamagami is definitely an underappreciated figure at nintendo. My favorite anecdote about him was Hideki Kamiya having him as the Nintendo-side producer for Wonderful 101 and not being aware the majority of the time who he was until he found out and was like "wait what? Panel de Pon is one of my favorite games of all time"
I loved the first 2 games, but this last one was just a big dissapointment. No story is trully a dealbreaker for me. Im glad they choose to add a story last minute in the first game
I was pretty disappointed seeing the reviews of Luminous, but hearing these perspectives from the developers as far back as the original game makes me appreciate Luminous for what it is a lot more. I'll continue exploring and just making my own fun, instead of missing the features from Blue World.
I never played this series but I remember back in the days the amount of push the first game got here in Europe and it succeeded. Although, I don't remember as much push for its sequel, despite being a better product, which may explain those sales. Too bad for Luminous focusing too much on multiplayer and procedurally generated seas, both of those things should have been side content and not the main focus I think.
Nothing I've seen of Luminous says to me it's the perfect EO/diving game. I wish they made it more like the first 2 games, why it was a cult classic in the first place. Now everything is a GAAS unfortunately. No landmarks. Everything procedural. No majestic music. Annoying AI. Legendary monsters spawning everywhere. You had to play an entire game to find the ancient mother before as the goal. Now it's there in the first 2 minutes.

Not finished yet, but loving it so far!
I had no idea that Endless Ocean had such an interesting development
This game is me and my siblings childhood. I remember the day we got it from Costco!
This was fascinating to watch! Amazing video!
One of my favorite Nintendo IP, great video
They should rerelease the first two EO games in my opinion.

Finished it, and it's fantastic!
Still found the actual underwater footage very disturbing, however. The inky blue depths are not for me!
Why does your everblue footage look like that, it legitimately hurts my eyes to watch
Unfortunately, that's the best footage that was useable for the game.
