Don't know if anyone watches The Canipa Effect but he just released a fascinating editorial on Square Enix's Visual Works studio, on how they have been so successful with their pre-rendered animations, with a particular focus on their relationship to FFXIV.

Check out his other OST breakdowns too. He has some really nice video game remixes too, particullarly of FFVII.

I love the FFXIV dev team... First in a six part series...

While he doesn't mention it in the video, Parasite Eve's OST absolutely nails everything he's talking about for me.
