The Last Story probably not Sakaguchi’s last project
This is an official translation released on Mistwalker’s website from Hironobu Sakaguchi…
“The energy poured into this project by the development team and I are 120%. I’m hoping you can understand that, however on the other hand, I feel worried and nervous like sending my child on a trip alone. Emotionally it feels like this is my last work, while pouring everything I have gotten into this project. Never regret, but now ‘I’m enjoying’; furthermore, aiming towards completion. The sense of ‘This is it relaxes my shoulders, its pleasant feeling to conduct an orchestra by the sense of my intuition.”
This doesn’t sound like a perfect translation, though there’s a critical difference from what we heard previously. It doesn’t sound like Sakaguchi intends for The Last Story to be his last project. Rather, he’s putting so much effort into it that it feels like it’s his last game.
