Longtime character designer Akihiko Yoshida has left Square Enix after working at the company for close to two decades. Yoshida joined Square Soft way back in 1995.
Yoshida’s departure is confirmed through a message left in the Bravely Default art book just released in Japan.
The following message is included in his personal message section:
“This is a personal message of mine, but I’d like to say thank you for all the support these past 18 years. I have decided to leave Square Enix, but I believe our relationship will continue going on.
And as long as I’m needed [laughs,] I will continue working on the Bravely Default series. Thank you for your continued support.
Bravely Default main character designer & lead artist,
Akihiko Yoshida
