Cyber Connect 2/YMMV

Creator Worship: Many people on staff not only adore the Naruto franchise and Masashi Kishimoto himself (Who has praised their game back), but they are also fond of Clover Studios/ Platinum Games in one of their interviews about Asura's Wrath.
Cult Classic: Many of their lesser known games have this status.
Magnum Opus: Either the .hack franchise or Asura's Wrath probably qualify for this.
The Problem with Licensed Games: Suprisingly averted very often with their Naruto games, which are often considered to be the highest quality of most of the Naruto licensed games on the market.
Visual Effects of Awesome: Especially post creation of Sensible Art Innovation, but many of their games look gorgeous regardless.
