Last Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has not less than yet another recreation left in him, and it’d 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 underneath their belt like Sakaguchi, however I suppose that is more likely to occur while you’re the creator of Last Fantasy. For a protracted whereas now he is been doing issues over at his personal studio, Mistwalker, most lately having labored on Fantasian (which simply obtained a re-release on consoles simply final month), and because it seems, the developer continues to be planning on making not less than yet another recreation. Sakaguchi lately spoke with The Verge about Fantasian, in addition to what it has been like working with Sq. Enix once more, however most fascinating of all are his feedback on the following recreation he desires to work on.
“I used to be considering of constructing Fantasian Neo Dimension my remaining work, however the unbelievable staff that was assembled to finish this challenge was so satisfying to work with that I discovered it exhausting to half methods,” Sakaguchi defined when requested if he’ll follow acquainted kinds and genres or do one thing new. “People are grasping creatures, aren’t we? For that motive, I’m at the moment engaged on a brand new challenge with the identical staff that labored on Fantasian Neo Dimension. It’s typically going to comply with the same model to my earlier works, and it’ll be one thing that may be a successor to Last Fantasy 6 in a great way – our aim is to create one thing outdated however new on the similar time. It’ll be half two of my farewell notice.”
As bittersweet as that time about it being half two of his farewell notice, it’s thrilling to listen to he is engaged on one thing impressed by Last Fantasy 6. Whereas it might be argued that each entry within the mainline Last Fantasy video games is a fan favorite, 6 is unquestionably excessive up on that record, nearly positively partially as a result of it was the final recreation earlier than the swap to 3D, but additionally due to its massive, dramatic, and emotional story. I am positive we will anticipate to attend some time for it, although, so possibly simply spend that point on a replay of 6, and even give the fairly good Fantasian Neo Dimension a go.
