The battle System director of "FFX/FFXIII" and the creator of the Arc the Lad and Front Mission series has left SQEX.
The battle systems of FF10 and 13 were created by the same person? I guess kudos to him for creating something completely different.
Weren't those two games lauded as having fresh takes on the battle system? Oh lordy. Let's hope whoever did X2 is still around, otherwise we might see some nice traditional turn based returning.
Is this where we say S-E is a sinking ship or something? Perhaps if all of their old employees leave, there'll be a massive breath of fresh air in there. Still, losing a guy who designed battle systems is a bit of a bitch.
And Front Mission which is a strategy-RPG series. :DQuote:

He is definitely their but as Type-0 Battle director for PSP. Of course, Type-0 and X-2 both have zero similarity to each other. :pQuote:

Don't worry, we are talking about SQEX here, I am still amazed by the fact that Square Osaka (Nomura's team) have many designers and programmers from Konami's arcade teams (Gradius,TMNT Mutant Warriors,Batman Returns, Nemesis 2,etc). Also, SQEX still has designers such as Tanaka(Lol:), Tokita, kawazu, Quest team, Armor project and more.Quote:

This is SQEX not Capcom or Namco.
So the one man who had any positive input into XIII has left? Thats a shame.
My thoughts exactly!Quote:

Its a shame to see him leave cause I do enjoy the Front Mission series, but personally, I feel CTB and DATB were both sub-par battle systems so I certainly will not miss him for making FF based battle systems.
But that would be AWESOME!Quote:

Huh O_o ????Quote:
