Former Dragon Quest producer Ryutaro Ichimura says he left Square Enix because the developer and publisher was too focused on making "safe" games.
In a recent episode of ReHacQ (translated by Automaton), Ichimura says he had always planned to go independent eventually, but Square Enix's way of handling things sped that process up significantly. According to him, the publisher has been pretty focused on "safe" projects over the last several years, which he wasn't too keen about.
