Sakaguchi discusses The Last Story
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Sakaguchi on his time after Square Enix…
“After I quit Square in 2001. I did no work for about three years, just floating around. I established Mistwalker in the midst of that, and after three years of rest, I felt like I wanted to make something. So, starting with a staff of three people, we kicked off Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey at the same time.”
Sakaguchi on how The Last Story’s inspiration came from the mistakes from Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey…
“Both of those games used the Final Fantasy formula as a base to build up from,. There were assorted new challenges we tackled with them, but they were all story-oriented ones — we didn’t try to alter the gameplay system much at all. When we had a wrap-up meeting after it was all over, our biggest regret was that we basically used old-gen methods to make next-gen RPGs. That’s how this project began.”
