#i actually think he should go further overboard sometimes in his commissions

[batbeato]

Sending a another ask btw but it's then a conflict of interest then you suppose? Cuz i feel Ryukishi's gonna post a redux edition of ciconia in the form of silent hill F to be honest to try to tie it back to wtc. String of fate reference, tezuka cast vibe, or even a behind the set vibe. Like a vent post of his working experiences as a social worker and how he wants to write as a hobby about without losing his job or smth like that.

I don't really have to the right to say this cuz im not a full time author but is this train of thought correct?

I feel like authors always have personal desires they want to put into their works, even commission works. But so long as they focus on balancing their own creative energies with the wishes of the client, they'll be able to create something great. Ryukishi was probably hired because they wanted his unique creative energies to be put into a Silent Hill project. With his non-07th works, whether it's good or mediocre is always a mixed bag, but I'm still excited to see how he handles it.

Ryukishi has put out a variety of works since Umineko. If I was to list anything that's a vent work, it would be Higanbana. It talks a lot about bullying at schools, the uselessness of / abuse by adults, and has a lot of violent retribution towards those who hurt children. Ryukishi is the creator of 07th Expansion, so while his staff might sometimes ask him to tone something down (like how he scrapped Ikuko Tohya marriage due to staff), he has a lot of creative freedom there. If he has limits, I'd presume it's more of a resource problem (they're a small indie company) than anyone limiting him. Even the hiatus of Ciconia seems to be due to Ryukishi worrying about the current world events and how they parallel Ciconia.

I don't think Ryukishi will be using Silent Hill F as a place to vent, since he's had plenty of works in the past that he could use (and has used, with Higanbana). He's also still writing Ciconia when he finds time. I think he's a professional, so he'll be able to use his experiences and thoughts to enrich Silent Hill without taking away from its identity.
