Yoshiki Okamoto
Mikami planned to the end the series with "Resident Evil 2". Supervisor Yoshiki Okamoto criticized the story, finding it too conclusive to allow for future installments. Instead, Okamoto proposed the creation of a fictional universe that would turn "Resident Evil" into a metaseries – similar to the "Gundam" and "James Bond" franchises – in which self-contained stories with common elements could be told.
