I've played too many ultra stinker games made by them to feel like they are a infallible geniuses. But I think they are really good in the areas of innovation, art design and setting up "battle systems". They seem weak in balancing games and coming up with meaningful stories in my opinion (for what that's worth ha ha).
I think Agetec was a part of what made the KF games excellent. They changed the story at least and I remember reading long ago on the Agetec forums that Agetec had made a presentation for a huge new KF game to Fromsoft (which they turned down). That would suggest that Agetec was involved in at least some aspects of the KF design. Which would also explain why KF(Jap), which made before Agetec cam on board, is widely considered the least of the KF games. Since it appears that Agetec is no longer in partnership with Fromsoft, a new KF would probably be something different that the previous ones.
