Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director knows there's a debate around yellow paint in games, but says "there is definitely a need for that kind of thing" and the only real question is "about how it's done"

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

I hate the yellow paint debate. Maybe I'm just getting old, but colored guidance markers are among the many minuscule aspects of game design that I just can't be bothered to harbor a strong opinion about. Sure, if it's overly blatant, it can be slightly immersion-breaking, but for me, it would have to be glowing rainbow tape to bother me enough that I engage in this interminable back-and-forth.

The yellow markers in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth reignited this age-old discussion last year, and now the game's director is fanning the flames again. Although, to be fair to Naoki Hamaguchi, we asked him.
