Grand Theft Auto inspired producer of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers

Grand Theft Auto has undoubtedly inspired many games. But what may be surprising is that the series inspired the producer of a Final Fantasy game. Akitoshi Kawazu, Producer of FFCC: The Crystal Bearers, has said that GTA provided inspiration when creating the type of game world in the upcoming Wii title.

“I wanted to do something like this ten years ago when I saw Grand Theft Auto. It struck me that we would have to create Final Fantasy in this type of game world. As you have seen in the opening part of the game, there are shooting, steering, so that the users can get used to the game.”
