In a recent interview with Glixel, Hironobu Sakaguchi, the 'Father of Final Fantasy', revealed his thoughts on the long-awaited Final Fantasy XV, and one particular answer stood out, which was when he was asked about Nobuo Uematsu allegedly saying "I think that the day Sakaguchi-san left Squaresoft, they should have stopped making Final Fantasy."
"When I first left the company, I did feel that Squaresoft was taking the games in a direction that I didn't want them to, specifically with Final Fantasy XIII," Sakaguchi responded. "I wasn't particularly happy with it. But after leaving the company, and with time, I have come to accept that I was the one who left, so they were free to do what they wanted with it. And recently I have been looking at Final Fantasy XV, and although I've never known or worked with Tabata-san, by looking at his production I feel that he has adopted the spirit that I had when I first created the series. I feel that, in the hands of talented people, the original feel of the series is being brought back."
Do you think Final Fantasy XV is going back to how the series felt originally?
