Again within the day, Remaining Fantasy was a franchise that was strongly tied to Nintendo. Up till Remaining Fantasy VI, you can all the time see the sequence’ completely different RPGs on platforms just like the NES.
Remaining Fantasy VII is the place issues took a flip although. Whereas the sport was initially deliberate for the SNES and a few consideration was given to the N64, it ended up releasing on PlayStation as a substitute. That transfer made Remaining Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi really feel like he cheated on Nintendo, particularly given how the NES helped jumpstart his profession.
Sakaguchi mentioned in an interview with One Extra Recreation:
“And this isn’t essentially growth associated, however I look again at my profession and I actually acquired an enormous a part of my begin from the NES and Nintendo. So, with out the NES, I’d say none of any of this might have been attainable, however then, you realize, I cheated on Nintendo and went to PlayStation, however whether or not it was Nintendo or Sony, I believe each of these corporations along with Remaining Fantasy VI form of characterize a number of my origin story when it comes to my profession growth.”
Change is definitely the place Sq. Enix lastly made issues proper with the Remaining Fantasy sequence on Nintendo platforms. Apart from Remaining Fantasy VII, a ton of different video games from the franchise can be found – each in mainline and spinoff type.
Sakaguchi himself moved on from Remaining Fantasy a few years in the past. Nevertheless, for his latest sport Fantasian Neo Dimension (which you’ll examine it right here), he’s really teaming up with Sq. Enix to deliver the sport to consoles.
