Final Fantasy Creator Isn’t Interested In Revisiting The Franchise
“I almost live in Final Fantasy XIV”
Image: Square EnixFinal Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has confirmed in a recent interview with Bloomberg (thanks, VGC) that he is not interested in revisiting the franchise.
Granted, given that he left Square Enix in 2003 to establish Mistwalker, this shouldn’t necessarily come as much of a shock, but what’s interesting is the reasoning behind his decision. According to Sakaguchi, he loaded up Final Fantasy XIV in 2021 with the intention of spending just a few hours with the game before attending an event.
A few hours turned into a genuine obsession, with Sakaguchi confessing, “Now I almost live in Final Fantasy XIV”. As such, he expressed concern that revisiting the franchise in a professional capacity would impact his enjoyment of the game, citing his switch from creator to consumer.
