Ultimate Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has not less than another sport left in him, and it would simply take some cues from a much-beloved entry within the sequence.
There are few builders on the market who’ve as prolonged an inventory of iconic titles beneath their belt like Sakaguchi, however I suppose that is prone to occur while you’re the creator of Ultimate Fantasy. For a protracted whereas now he is been doing issues over at his personal studio, Mistwalker, most lately having labored on Fantasian (which simply acquired a re-release on consoles simply final month), and because it seems, the developer remains to be planning on making not less than another sport. Sakaguchi lately spoke with The Verge about Fantasian, in addition to what it has been like working with Sq. Enix once more, however most attention-grabbing of all are his feedback on the following sport he desires to work on.
“I used to be considering of creating Fantasian Neo Dimension my closing work, however the incredible crew that was assembled to finish this challenge was so gratifying to work with that I discovered it exhausting to half methods,” Sakaguchi defined when requested if he’ll stick with acquainted kinds and genres or do one thing new. “People are grasping creatures, aren’t we? For that cause, I’m at the moment engaged on a brand new challenge with the identical crew that labored on Fantasian Neo Dimension. It’s typically going to observe an identical model to my earlier works, and it’ll be one thing that may be a successor to Ultimate Fantasy 6 in a great way – our objective is to create one thing previous however new on the similar time. It’ll be half two of my farewell word.”
As bittersweet as that time about it being half two of his farewell word, it’s thrilling to listen to he is engaged on one thing impressed by Ultimate Fantasy 6. Whereas it might be argued that each entry within the mainline Ultimate Fantasy video games is a fan favorite, 6 is unquestionably excessive up on that listing, nearly positively partially as a result of it was the final sport earlier than the swap to 3D, but additionally due to its large, dramatic, and emotional story. I am certain we will count on to attend some time for it, although, so perhaps simply spend that point on a replay of 6, and even give the fairly good Fantasian Neo Dimension a go.
