Eh.. Didn't Naka have more to do with the plots of PS than Kodama?
She only did the plot on one game if I recall.. I found a list..
Phantasy Star - Creator (Writer), Executive Designer
Phantasy Star 2 - Executive Designer
Phantasy Star 4 - Director, Environment, Object, Event Designer
If she did write the plot of 2 and 4, then I can understand people wanting her back.
But the problem is people put her as a god like figure who could make the perfect Phantasy Star and only she could do it.
She isn't that good. It was a team effort anyways.
Back for the original, we have a great time dissecting the announcement video on the old PSDB.
Haha Thoul.. I remember that. I was there.. Ripp and Maxx took the whole original teaser trailer and paused it frame by frame and analyzed each section. They analyzed the blackedout parts.. Oh such good times!
