Hironobu Sakaguchi is another overrated gaming 'icon' that people praise without knowing much of his background.

Sakaguchi didn't give us "FF7-FFIX, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Front Mission, FF Tactics, Parasite Eve, Brave Fencer Musashi, Chrono Cross and Countless others." He only created the first 5 FF games, which quite frankly, they all had similar to three year old fairy-tale book story.

People tend to overlook who took Final Fantasy to the next level; Yoshinori Kitase. He was the writer and the director of the arguably two best Final Fantasy games; FFVI, and FFVII, and he also directed FFVIII. And yet people give credits to Sakaguchi for Kitase's creations, seriously, if you want to find Sakaguchi's creation, check out Spirits Within, one of the worst movies to grace the world, and he was working in Square at that time, but I wonder why I don't see the OP mentioning that.

The sole reason why Square is not like what they used to be is due the buyout from Enix, and that happened mainly because of Sakaguchi's unimaginative creation known as Final Fantasy: The Sprits Within. So make sure to know why many of the Square's most talented guys left the company before giving the credits to the guy who caused that.

Funny part is that I see people giving credits to Sakaguchi for Lost Odyssey, without knowing that the developer of Lost Odyssey is Feel Plus, which is a company formed by most of the Nautilus' employees. Nautilus is the creator of the underrated Shadow Hearts series, in case you guys are wondering...

 

 

thats so wrong that it is funnny. first he helped make ff 1-6. but then he took a pro -active role in the company on number 7-10 . he was a wesome developer and his games are awesome. but to answer ure question no i don tthink that he is the . just square has moved out of doing turnbased so they r almost out of there element.and they r making games witha a smaller budget and faster which makes the quality of the games detiorate.
