Is it taking the wind out of his sails? Or is it recognizing that the man had the good sense to recognize a talented game designer when he saw one and let him take the reigns in those respects when appropriate. Because even that is more than I could credit Takahashi with from his one game I played. If anything, that's just more proof that Matsuno is a better game developer.
