Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase has boldly claimed that the hotly anticipated RPG will be the ‘best’ entry in the venerable franchise to date.
"I'm convinced it will be the best Final Fantasy game,” Kitase told VideoGamer.com while promoting upcoming handheld brawler Dissidia: Final Fantasy in London this week.
Kitase went on to reflect on his involvement with the series, commencing with Final Fantasy 5 and moving on to the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy VII, of which he served as director on. In fact, Kitase let slip that he considers spiky pretty boy Cloud Strife as his favourite character in the series thus far.
"I've been involved with the Final Fantasy series since Final Fantasy 5,” he said. “In those days Final Fantasy had not recorded such remarkable success abroad, outside Japan. Probably after VII, maybe it became a really strong title globally, and that situation hasn't changed up to now. Now other Final Fantasy games are widely played globally by lots of people.”
"OK sometimes we receive quite critical comments from players, as well as nice comments! But that kind of situation, how widely it is played across the world, would have been completely unimaginable. That is something I am very proud of."
