Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi worked on a bunch of Final Fantasy games throughout his career. But which one is he the most proud of? That honor goes to the original Final Fantasy.

In an interview with IGN, Sakaguchi explained why this is his choice:

“There was no guarantee that this game would make it. There were a lot of worries, a lot of unstable factors going into this project. The original team only consisted of four people. Even in the end when we wrapped up the project, there was probably about ten of us.”

Sakaguchi added: “The culmination of [all] the feelings and memories I have towards the first Final Fantasy is probably the largest.”

When publishers don’t step up to the plate and bring their Japanese games to overseas territories, that’s usually when fans start taking action. We’ve seen plenty of fan translations over the years, and one enthusiast is now focusing his efforts on a 3DS RPG that has yet to be localized: Dragon Quest VII.

Reddit user “apassingremark” shared a few screenshots from his work on translating certain content from Dragon Quest VII yesterday. While he’d like to complete a full translation, his efforts will likely be limited to elements such as item names, spell names and monster names. That’s because “the game’s script is locked away”, and he’s unsure how to access it.

apassingremark has no estimate as to when his translation would be available. He’s also unsure how it would be distributed to the public at large. Still, this is an admirable effort, and hopefully Dragon Quest VII fans in the west will eventually be able to play through the RPG.

I’ve never purchased any music DLC for a game before, but I think that will be changing thanks to Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call. I can’t resist Nier’s music! Hills of Radiant Wind (last song in the video above) is one of my favorite tracks from the game.

A demo for Theatrhythm Dragon Quest will be released in Japan next week, Square Enix has announced. The trial should be out on March 11.

Two songs will be included in Theatrhythm Dragon Quest’s demo. Players will be able to try out “Adventure” from Dragon Quest III (field stage) as well as Dragon Quest V’s battle theme (battle stage, of course!).
