Final Fantasy's creator doesn't want to bring JRPG hits Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon to modern platforms, but he does want to revive a decade-old strategy gem that was shut down 4 years ago
More Terra Battle, anyone?

Hironobu Sakaguchi is working with Square Enix again after 20 years to spring Fantasian ಞfrom Apple Arcade jail and onto PCs and cons💛oles. As it would happen, there are o෴ther games from his post-Square Enix back catalogue he wants to do the same with – just probably not the ones you're thinking of.&nb🐷sp;
Speaking to , Sakaguchi confirms he has no interest in bringing Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon to modern platforms despite 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:hopes of the opposite.
Boo! In better news, he apparently wants to find a way to revive another game he did called Terra Battle, which was released for mobiles back in 2014, but it is no longer playable. A tile-based tactical RPG with collectible card and puzzle game elem𓄧ents, it launched to a decent reception and even got a sequel in 2017, though it was shortlived and pulled from digital shelves a year later.
For now, the focus remains on Fantasian. A new version, Fantasian Neo Dimension, will be released on PCs and consoles this winter. It features various upgrades, such as 4K🤡 graphics, voice 🅷acting, and a new difficulty mode.
Sakaguchi says the Square Enix collaboration came from a dinner with Final Fantasy 14 director and producer Naoki 'Yoshi-ℱP' Yoshida, who suggested Square Enix take on the project when Sakaguchi mentioned wanting to broaden the throwback JRPG's horizons.
“I was a little bit concerned about how people would feel about working with me — perhaps they’ll have mixed feelings,” Sakaguchi says of the Square Enix reunion. &ldqu🎃o;It was actually quite a warm welcome. Once the news was announced, I got tweets from a lot of current Square staff sꦅaying, ‘Welcome back, Sakaguchi-san.’ Some people I know, some I don’t. Everyone’s working hard toward a common goal.”

I joined GamesRadar+ in May 2022 following stints at PCGamesN and PocketGamerꦉ.Biz, with some freelance for Kotaku UK, RockPaperShotgun, and VG24/7 thrown in for good measure. When I'm not running the news team on the games side, you'll find me putting News Editor duties t🎐o one side to play the hottest JRPG of 20 years ago or pillaging the depths of Final Fantasy 14 for a swanky new cloak – the more colourful, the better.
