Final Fantasy's Hironobu Sakaguchi not worried over economic crisis
Mistwalker boss and Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi isn't worried at all about the world's current economic woes. He says so on his blog.
Instead he feels that it is a good opportunity for us to take stock and "restrain human activity", which in his mind equates to being more creative instead of being financially-driven.
These days I feel the hard economic times are a kind act for the planet to restrain human activity. Economic activity is as important as blood flowing. However, the blood should be flowing smoothly, which I suppose means the quality of what flows in that stream must be as important.
There is a lot of business behind creating a game, yet I would like to keep 51% towards "creation" rather than "merchandise." I feel it shouldn't go over 75%, though. Setting sights on where the good blood flows.
Go see for yourself.
