While fans of Bayonetta are prone to (inadvertently) reminding us that having a female designer doesn’t guarantee quality designs – we feel its always worth remembering that who and why a designer is hired can define the focus of a production… provided that someone else doesn’t overrule them at every turn.
This is one reason why I’d personally like to see more high profile projects given to creators with a personal investment in the material over high profile individuals with track records of believing long disproven myths and heavy reliance on baffling justifications.
