Hironobu Sakaguchi created the Final Fantasy video game series. He worked at Square until 2003. His exit hurt the company badly. Square almost failed after he left. Many other important workers also quit around the same time.
Sakaguchi acted as the main leader at Square during its early years. The company worked more like a college group than a real business back then. Workers did not follow normal company rules. Everyone listened to Sakaguchi because he guided the team well. His leadership kept Square running during those early days.
Nobuo Uematsu composed music for Final Fantasy games. He talked about Sakaguchi on a recent podcast. Uematsu said Square fell apart after Sakaguchi departed. The company lost its direction without its key leader. Uematsu thought about leaving Square because the situation looked hopeless.
Square later joined with another game company to form Square Enix. The merger helped the business recover from its problems. Square Enix makes Dragon Quest games as well as Final Fantasy titles. The company survived even though many talented people had left earlier.
Sakaguchi recently helped make a new game called FANTASIAN Neo Dimension. He worked with Square Enix again after 20 years away. The game started on Apple devices before moving to computers and gaming systems. Players say FANTASIAN feels like a real Final Fantasy game. Sakaguchi still knows how to make great role-playing games.
