Remaining Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has a minimum of another recreation left in him, and it would simply take some cues from a much-beloved entry within the sequence.
There are few builders on the market who’ve as prolonged an inventory of iconic titles beneath their belt like Sakaguchi, however I suppose that is more likely to occur while you’re the creator of Remaining Fantasy. For a protracted whereas now he is been doing issues over at his personal studio, Mistwalker, most not too long ago having labored on Fantasian (which simply received a re-release on consoles simply final month), and because it seems, the developer continues to be planning on making a minimum of another recreation. Sakaguchi not too long ago spoke with The Verge about Fantasian, in addition to what it has been like working with Sq. Enix once more, however most attention-grabbing of all are his feedback on the subsequent recreation he desires to work on.
“I used to be pondering of constructing Fantasian Neo Dimension my remaining work, however the unbelievable group that was assembled to finish this venture was so gratifying to work with that I discovered it arduous to half methods,” Sakaguchi defined when requested if he’ll stick with acquainted types and genres or do one thing new. “People are grasping creatures, aren’t we? For that motive, I’m at present engaged on a brand new venture with the identical group that labored on Fantasian Neo Dimension. It’s usually going to observe the same fashion to my earlier works, and it’ll be one thing that may be a successor to Remaining Fantasy 6 in a great way – our objective is to create one thing previous however new on the identical time. It’ll be half two of my farewell word.”
As bittersweet as that time about it being half two of his farewell word, it’s thrilling to listen to he is engaged on one thing impressed by Remaining Fantasy 6. Whereas it might be argued that each entry within the mainline Remaining Fantasy video games is a fan favorite, 6 is certainly excessive up on that record, virtually positively partly as a result of it was the final recreation earlier than the swap to 3D, but in addition due to its large, dramatic, and emotional story. I am positive we are able to anticipate to attend some time for it, although, so perhaps simply spend that point on a replay of 6, and even give the fairly good Fantasian Neo Dimension a go.
