Final Fantasy creator says his Final Fantasy 14 habit got so bad "on rare occasion" that some of his employees would hop on the MMO to DM him about missed meetings
Hironobu Sakaguchi is truly dedi𓆉cated to the grind

Hironobu Sakaguchi's love of the critically acclaimed MMO Final Fantasy 14 continues to be endlessly endearing, though it would appear that the other developers at h🐟is current studioꦏ might feel differently on the odd occasion.
Speaking to , Sakaguchi admits he was playing the MMO's new expansion, Dawntrail, mere minutes before the interview. It's hardly the first time Final Fantasy 14 and𒊎 work have come i🍃nto close proximity either, as some Mistwalker developers know all too well.
“On a rare occasion — I want to stress ‘rare occasion’ — sometimes one of the Mistwalker teaꦏm members will hop on Final Fantasy 14, and I’ll see a message saying, ‘Hey,🌊 the meeting’s started,’” Sakaguchi says.
It's not the first time Sakaguchi has mentioned getting a scolding for playing Final Fantasy 14, either. The industry veteran has previously said he sometimes plays the MMO for up to 12 hours a day - be it running a or just posing with fans in a costume he made director and pr♔oducer Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yꦫoshida add. If you're wondering how he manages that and a full working day, it would appear he doesn't, as Sakaguchi says developers have scolded♔ him f🐟or playing too much - I just di🔥dn't think the telling-off happened in-game.
Elsewhere in the interview, Sakaguchi touches on teaming up with Square Enix for the first time in over 20 years to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:free JRP🐻G gem Fantasian from Apple Arcade jail. It was all 𝐆set in motion over dinner ไwith Yoshi-P. Despite the reunion and love of Final Fantasy 14, though, don't expect Sakaguchi to lead another Final Fantasy game anytime soon, as he's “switched to a consumer rather than a creator.”
“If I take on the Final Fantasy brand again, I don&rsqu💙o;t know if I’ll be able to genuinely enjoy Final Fantasy 14 as much,” he says.
