Your last two paragraphs are my biggest regrets right now. This is terrible news for me. I wanted Matsuno to either stay freelance or go back and join Square Enix. This news has killed off that ray of hope I had.
Also, if he's now a full-time employee of Level-5, then there's no way he will work on a Square Enix game ever again. Any future Ivalice game will not have his input which is a shocking thought to think abaout. I don't know if Square Enix plan to continue Ivalice without him but I have no idea how that will work out without Mtasuno. Is Hiroshi Minagawa a good writer?
