What does it take for a Japanese game to succeed globally? (TGS2018 GGBS panel)

Tokyo Game Show 2018 was held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba prefecture from 20-23 September 2018. The Global Game Business Summit, which is held on the first day of the event each year, usually had western developers invited over to speak on the state of the gaming industry overseas, but this year, the speakers were Japanese developers whose games were overwhelmingly successful overseas: Monster Hunter: World producer Tsujimoto Ryouzou of Capcom, Nier: Automata producer Saitou Yousuke of Square Enix, and Nioh director Yasuda Fumihiko of Koei Tecmo Games.

Our coverage on the presentations and subsequent panel discussion is divided into five parts, available here:
