This is a good read for all software developers - it really transcends the particular game. This man has put a tremendous amount of effort into user empathy, thinking deeply about how the user will interact with his game. Imagine if we could put this amount of care into all the software we write. What a nice world it would be. (It's also nice to read about the developer's hopes for Etrian Odyssey and similar games in the future. This game was released on 2007, and has since spawned a series of sequels and remakes. So.... we know that his efforts met with success!)
