Takahisa Taura was lead on Nier Automata and Astral Chain, and did the XVI work too. Maybe he's the new kid to follow.

Kamiya seemed like he got too high up in the business exec sphere too quickly at Platinum. It truly was an indie company when they formed it, and it's not close to that anymore. If he goes off to do more indie stuff that could be really great.

Also I always felt that Platinum excelled mostly in their licensed games. Bayonetta is their only truly great IP, and that came from Kamiya's pure manic post-Capcom energy. But MGR and Nier are basically perfect. Korra seemed kinda mid but it's still by far the best Nickelodeon game.
