Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Tales collaboration may not be out of the question
Dragon Quest producer Yosuke Saito, Final Fantasy producer Shinji Hashimoto, and Tales series producer Hideo Baba got together for a V Jump feature this month. At one point in the conversation, the three seemed to discuss some collaboration ideas.
Here’s the conversation in full, as translated by Siliconera:
Baba (Tales of): “If you can do it, then by all means!”
Saito (Dragon Quest): “Shall we? We can start right away.”
Baba: “How about [Akira] Toriyama’s first Tales of game?”
Hashimoto: “If Toriyama is okay with it, then we’re okay with it. As long as we stay true to the world view, I think [Yuji] Horii would be okay with it, too.”
Hashimoto (Final Fantasy): “How about Kosuke Fujishima (Tales of character designer) draws for a Final Fantasy, and Tetsuya Nomura do Dragon Quest?”
Baba: “I’m pretty sure Fujishima would do it.”
Interesting stuff. Would you like to see a Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Tales collaboration of some sort?
