Square Enix explains why his HD style

Today Square Enix is recognized for great titles such as _Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy, which have an element that is quite common among them, which is the art in 2D so loved. Same that they will continue to use in other video games, among them are live a live in its remastered version and also the remake of Dragon Quest III.

With this kind of beautiful animation, many have wondered why it has not been replicated in other companies such as Nintendo, or even PlayStation with their RPG games. And the answer is hand in hand with an interview by 4Gamer to the creators of the most recent project, Tomoya Asano and Yasuaki Arai, stating that this style is expensive.

Here the translation made by Nintendo EveryTHING:

HD-2D is a new technique, but the quality remains constant even when the developer changes. I imagine that an exhaustive verification is carried out before real development begins. They have announced several titles that use HD-2D, such as Dragon Quest III and Live A Live.-Is there any exchange of experience between these?

Asano : There is. The previous teams published information for the newest. If they have data that believe they could be useful, we encourage the exchange of information between development companies. If an expression method was used in the previous one, there is no reason why it cannot be incorporated into the newest games.

The

We talk before the HD-2D ‘precise’. Have you created a definitive guide or something?

Asano : We have not created anything like that. The way it is expressed differs according to the game, so the HD-2D style will be slightly different at a time. With live a live, for example, the atmosphere in the prehistoric section will be different from the science fiction scenario. Our expression range has increased thanks to the new ideas we have devised.

One thing I have asked is why no other developer has tried something like HD-2D. As the independent games thrive, the number of games that Pixel Art has increased and I thought that the technique could be applied to those games.

Inano : It is probably worth pointing out that it costs more than you think. In that sense, it is a good combination for the titles that you want to get from Square Enix. There may not be much to win if other companies copy it.

Remember that _Triangle Strategy is currently available at Switch.
