You know, between Xenoblde 2, Baten Kaitos, Rodea, and Little Tail Bronx, “Sky island society with war-ravaged inhospitable surface” is common enough to be its own genre.

About Paradox Rodea:

Name: Rodea

Gender: Male

Paradox Cross: Rodea the Sky Soldier x Sonic the Hedgehog

Creator: Dr. Gerald Robotnik

Affiliation: R-Series

Abilities: Flight, Ancor Tail, Boost Attack, Ability Gears, Chaos Drive Cannon

Background: This Rodea comes from a Paradox Dimension that combines the worlds of Rodea and Sonic into one. In his dimension, instead of being created by the Naga Empire, he was created by Dr. Gerald Robotnik along with the rest of the R-Series as an answer to G.U.N., who demanded weapons from him. Much like how Rodea was activated by Princess Cecilia in the original dimension, Paradox Rodea was discovered and activated by Maria, and unlike the other R-Series siblings who were sent to G.U.N., R0, who was renamed Rodea by Maria, stayed with the girl as a friend and brotherly figure to her.

Rodea was a prototype of the R-Series, and yet was a huge success, being a robot with a human heart. Gerald's plan was to appease G.U.N. with weapons that wouldn't harm people, and instead would give hope to humanity by having them have hearts similar to his dear granddaughter, Maria. They would be heroes, not killing machines.

That plan backfired, however. Around the time Gerald completed the Ultimate Lifeform, Shadow the Hedgehog, G.U.N. attacked and destroyed everything to do with Shadow, just like in the original dimension. This unfortunately led to Maria's death. Driven mad, not only did Gerald use his original plans to destroy the Earth with the Space Colony Arc like the original dimension; He also had the R-Series reprogrammed to destroy G.U.N. All accept Rodea, who by looking at him, was reminded that this is not what Maria would have wanted. By now, it was already too late to undo his mistakes, and Rodea would be the last hope to fix this. It would be up to him to save the world from the rest of the R-Series, and other threats that would harm the planet his beloved granddaughter loved so much. He then sent Rodea to his grandson, Ivo Robotnik, along with a letter of instructions for him regarding Rodea and how he must protect the world.

Because of this act, Ivo never became the evil genius like he did in the original dimension. He instead chose to be like his grandfather (before he went mad) and would bring hope to humanity. He adopted the nickname "Mr. Tinker," focused on using his brilliant mind to help people, and even became a father figure to Rodea.

However, a tragedy happen at some point where Mr. Tinker would sacrifice his life to keep the world safe. After losing Gerald, Maria, Shadow (Unaware he actually survived the battle at the Arc, though it was Tails who found him instead of Eggman), and his own siblings due to being forced to destroy them, Rodea felt alone. Despite saving the world, people feared Rodea for being an R-Series robot. And despite Sonic and his friends being more welcoming to him, Rodea felt he couldn't stay with them, so he went his own way.

Eventually, he was met and recruited by two beings who wished to protect the Multiverse and promised him that he would be able to see Mr. Tinker again. This would eventually lead to him joining RiFT's team to fight against Slur's forces in the Multiverse War, although now it's much bigger than that.

Despite the fact that the Mr. Tinker here is a different Mr. Tinker from Rodea's Paradox Dimension, the two still share a similar bond and consider each other family. He even gained a little brother in Terios, who's like a more childlike Shadow.

What’s your take on the Yuji Naka/Square lawsuit? It seems to me like an “Everyone Sucks Here” situation. It’s well known that Naka’s difficult to work with and was on thin ice at Square. We also know that Square forced Naka to focus on elements that weren’t his strengths (like story) during Balan’s development. Do you think this lawsuit will prevent folks from wanting to work with Naka?

I'd like to give Yuji Naka sympathy here, but Golden Bolt's video really collected a lot of moments where he didn't seem like the nicest, most caring guy. "Everyone sucks here" is a good way to put it, because I honestly wonder how much of the story Yuji Naka is leaving out in order to make himself look more sympathetic.

His account is that "Oh I just wanted the game to be good and they shut me out :(" which, like, yeah, I imagine Square-Enix and Arzest wanted to stay on schedule and keep to their budget. If you talk to people who actually work in game development, there is a hard cutoff point in every game's production cycle where you have to accept it's never going to be perfect and you just have to let it go.

Matt and Woolie, formerly of Super Best Friends, frame it in their time as professional game testers, where bugs are labeled with certain "classes" or "types" and often only the most critical problems get addressed. Little tweaks and things like that are shuffled to the back burner. Square and Arzest knew what they wanted to accomplish with the game and it seems Naka-san wasn't on the same page.

I'm also curious about what he's not telling us because of this example:

We actually have a prototype of Sonic 1 dated ~6 months before release that has the ring functionality as it is in the final game. Now, benefit of the doubt: it was 30+ years ago, so his memory might be a little faded.

And, speaking as a kind of game developer myself, he is right that last-second changes make all the difference. A lot of game developers will tell you that their games didn't "come together" until literally the last few weeks of development. That's because making a game is 90% setup and 10% execution. You can't really get a big picture view of flow, pacing, or balance until the thing is almost done. In order to put all the pieces in the right place, you need to finish all the pieces first. That last 10% of production is the most critical to a game being good. A lot of games live or die by that last 10%.

But at the same time, he's Yuji Naka. Over the years, he's had a rap sheet develop about his time at Sega, where he was consistently rude, egotistical, and controlling. If he didn't get his way, he would not hesitate to go thermonuclear. He threatened to (and even briefly did) quit Sega of Japan after the release of Sonic 1, and threatened again during the production of Sonic Xtreme.

He actively badmouthed current and former employees, even driving people away from the company. He branded himself as "the father of Sonic" despite only being a programmer among an entire team of artists and designers.

So it's hard not to see this as a kind of "here we go again" situation. Post-Sega, Yuji Naka has not had a great string of luck. There are times where I'm sure he did well enough for himself, but he didn't hit any home runs. And now the idea that Balan Wonderworld suffered a troubled development, after Rodea the Sky Soldier suffered a troubled development, after Sonic the Hedgehog suffered a troubled development...

What's the constant in all of these?

I'm sure Square-Enix has their fair share of problems. In fact, we kind of know they do, because there have been times where they were very public about trying to clean up their development culture and "learn from their mistakes."

And Arzest... well...

The road to hell is paved with the best intentions and I was never surprised by the critical backlash to Balan Wonderworld. Regardless of what's actually true in all of this, I think Yuji Naka is hoping to save his career, but I think his reputation is starting to catch up with him. Even assuming he has probably mellowed out since his time at Sega, Square isn't going to pull him off of a project without having a reason, and this man is dragging around a lot of baggage.

I will be surprised to see who picks him up after this. Maybe he'll just go back to Sega. I mean, maybe it's a coincidence, but NiGHTS HD mysteriously got discounted to $2.99 today. I'm sure Sega fans would welcome the return of Yuji Naka with open arms for better or worse, and he's been gone long enough that the old wounds have long since healed.

Beyond that, I think he's going to be on his own from here on out.
