Hironobu Sakaguchi has his own studio
Final Fantasy is one of the great icons of the video game industrywhich has materialized over the years in a franchise that with each new release revolutionizes the market to a greater or lesser extent, as could be seen with the last two main releases and the two Final Fantasy VII remakes released to date. And all this is largely thanks to Hironobu Sakaguchicreator of the franchise.
To put this into context, it should be noted that Hironobu Sakaguchi was not only the creatorbut he has also been the director and producer of several of the most relevant installments of the Square Enix star franchise, this being something that changed with his departure from the Japanese company after the launch of Final Fantasy X-2 for form Mistwalker, his independent studio who is now in talks with Square Enix to bring his latest project to consoles. And as it could not be otherwise, the creative has been questioned about his return to Final Fantasy
Sakaguchi is not interested in making a Final Fantasy game again
In an interview with Bloomberg, Sakaguchi was questioned about his possible return to Final Fantasy in light of the creative's current situation due to the fact that he is collaborating again with the company that owns the franchise. However, being quite direct, he stated that is not interested in directing another Final Fantasy nor to participate in their development by stating that he prefers to play them, calling himself more like a consumer before a creator.
In fact, he has even mentioned that if he were to participate in any development, it could affect his enjoyment of the game, since as far as is known plays Final Fantasy XIV regularlyHe also mentions that while he was worried about the meetings with Square Enix, these have ended up being a mere reunion of old colleaguesreceiving a warm welcome at the company's offices.
It remains to be seen what Sakaguchi will do after this project, but what seems obvious is that Final Fantasy will continue to have new releasessince for now the remake of Final Fantasy IX is sounding stronger and stronger
