Final F🌸antasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi says one legendary progr💙ammer behind the first three JRPGs "was like a god" to him.

While Sakaguchi is most synonymous with the beloved series, programmer Nasir Gebelli's own reputation has aged like fine wine. Y�🦹�our favorite programmer's favorite programmer, Gebelli was behind several early PC games that proved legendary at the time, so much so that Doom guy John Romero called him

Despite all of that, Gebelli is seemingly humble, too. After years of silence, he reappeared t✤o feature in a Final Fantasy documentary to say his legendary c꧃ode "was pretty simple," a🧜nd it could even be better.

Now, Sakaguchi him💯self has joined the chorus of praise, saying Gebelli was "like a god to me.✃"

"I was introduced to computers and games on the Apple II, so Nasir was like a god to me," he tells . "It🎐 was a miracle and a great honor t𝕴o meet him, and even more so to work with him on Final Fantasy.

"I think that respect for Nasir helped to make the first Final Fantasy an amazing game. I still strongly feel that the core program itself is the 'life' of a game. All of my memories of him are fuzzy (laughs), but they always contain his enveloping kindness and politeness, which mﷺakes the happy memories come back even brighter. Nasir truly is a wonderful person."

A wonderful person and a dang good co🦩derꦉ, it would seem.
