| LMU Uncle Alfred said: For any Japanese developer's sake, it's a good idea never to have an exclusive title on a MS system. Sakaguchi found out the hard way with Lost Odyssey despite the luck the 360 had at the beginning of the 7th gen against the PS3. It sold ok relatively speaking...but definitely nothing to be cheerful for. A HUGE step back from the sales his FF games were selling. What exactly is Sakaguchi even doing nowadays? Exactly. I really wish he would come back to developing JRPGs for a Sony system but I heard he had a falling out or something. |
I follow him on his Twitter. Sakaguchi is the kind of developer that doesn't like Triple A games. For him, it is better to release small-middle sized games. The last game that he made was a mobile game (had a good number of downloads, 2.5+ millions). And now he is working with a company in a secret project that seems to be more focused on Art-style. I don't know if it is for Mobile or PC,Console.
Sakaguchi had his studio founded by Microsoft, so he released 2 exclusives( he would release 3, but the 3 was cancelled). In one of those games, he had the help of the character design, and creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama. The last time they worked together was on Chrono Trigger, if I remember well.
Sakaguchi release also "Last History" for the Wii. He also said that he is the kind of developer that dislikes sequels. Will be very hard to see Sakaguchi working on a sequel. because of that , Final Fantasy has a different plot and gameplay in every single game.
