When you think of Final Fantasy veterans, it’s easy to consider Hironobu Sakaguchi, Yoshitaka Amano, or Nobuo Uematsu. One overlooked name is Akitoshi Kawazu, the man behind the SaGa series and Crystal Chronicles series. Ever since his role as game designer in Final Fantasy I and II, he’s had a direct influence on many of Square-Enix’s most acclaimed RPGs. His most recent bed of work includes Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers and filling in the director’s seat of Final Fantasy XII with Yoichi Wada when Yasumi Matsuno left the project.
And now it seems he’s busy with a new RPG, as he told Nintendo Power just recently. Could this perhaps be a new SaGa game (as hinted by Square-Enix) or a new Crystal Chronicles game or something new entirely?
