Sakaguchi Talks Final Fantasy On 360, Lays Into Microsoft Japan
Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi and his mustache sat down with GameSpot during GDC and dished out a refreshingly honest interview. Sure, Sakaguchi does say that Final Fantasy should come to the Xbox 360 — Sadly, his opinion doesn't matter anymore! He does mention that he dislikes Wii Sports, that he's interested in making a shooter like Gears of War and that he doesn't have an HD TV at home (wha?), the real fireworks are when he lays into Microsoft, who have funded two of his games: Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. So what does Sakaguchi think the reason that Microsoft hasn't had success in Japan? More »

GDC 07: First English Blue Dragon Screens
I may not be a fan of the genre, nor Blue Dragon character artist Akira Toriyama, hell, I don't even own an Xbox 360, but that doesn't mean I should withhold these graphically gorgeous shots of the upcoming Blue Dragon. Bask in the translated goodness of these five new shots. More »

Latest by RedRedSuit: @Roroco: Didn't notice this earlier: "Sorry, but that is pure fanboyish RedRedSuit. I hate the way if something has a Final Fantasy name on it, then it is the best jRPG out on the market. Why bother even putting out anymore jRPGs if this is the case?" It's not fanboyish in the more »

It's Official, Iwata's Impact Bigger Than Kutaragi's
And not by that much, too! Famitsu has passed out its Japanese industry awards to individuals who had the biggest impact last year. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata came in first with 201 votes, followed by Sony's Ken Kutaragi with 181 votes. In next, Blue Dragon creator Hironobu Sakaguchi received 126 votes. Nintendo's resident genius Shigeru Miyamoto and Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima rounded out the top five with 41 and 33 votes respectively. Sure, laugh at Kutaragi, but he is a force to be reckoned with in gaming. (A kooky, bat-shit insane one, but a force nonetheless!) More »

Latest by CMorrison: "I love how they're collecting money for their impending Final Fantasy games, by releasing sub standard games on other consoles, so they can create the standard with each iteration of Final Fantasy. Awesome." Mistwalker is Hironobu Sakaguchi's own studio; he left Square some years ago. Square has no connection with Blue Dragon more »
