Мацуно хочет вернуться к Vagrant Story

Мацуно сейчас продолжает работать с ЁСидой над фф14: в конце сюжетки Return to Ivalice была зацепка на будущее: там появлялся имперский командир Габрант. Сейчас это ружьё выстрелило: сюжетку релик-оружия из Shadowbringers пишет Мацуно, и она про Ноа Башевича Габранта. Я сам не возвращался ещё в фф14 после того, как этот патч вышел, так что ничего сказать не могу - но там явно лучше дождаться выхода всей сюжетки, чтобы оценивать. Арка Return to Ivalice была крутой.

Тем интереснее, что Мацуно пытался вернуться в Ивалис до того, как в 17-м году его взял к себе Ёсида. Решив узнать в твиттере, как западная аудитория относится к Save the Queen, его новой сюжетной арке из фф14, Мацуно разоткровенничался.

По его словам, использованная в этой арке концепция "разум обманывает себя, чтобы справляться с травмой" изначально предлагалась для продолжения Vagrant Story, которое Мацуно придумал в 2002-м и предложил Скваре в 2013-м.




Я просто хочу напомнить, что кроме команды фф14, у Сквари сейчас нет толковых сценаристов)

Employer Policies and the Immigrant-Native Earnings Gap -- by Benoit Dostie, Jiang Li, David Card, Daniel Parent

We use longitudinal data from the income tax system to study the impacts of firms’ employment and wage-setting policies on the level and change in immigrant-native wage differences in Canada. We focus on immigrants who arrived in the early 2000s, distinguishing between those with and without a college degree from two broad groups of countries – the U.S., the U.K. and Northern Europe, and the rest of the world. Consistent with a growing literature based on the two-way fixed effects model of Abowd, Kramarz, and Margolis (1999), we find that firm-specific wage premiums explain a significant share of earnings inequality in Canada and contribute to the average earnings gap between immigrants and natives. In the decade after receiving permanent status, earnings of immigrants rise relative to those of natives. Compositional effects due to selective outmigration and changing participation play no role in this gain. About one-sixth is attributable to movements up the job ladder to employers that offer higher pay premiums for all groups, with particularly large gains for immigrants from the “rest of the world” countries.
