Confirmed: Yasumi Matsuno has left Square Enix!

Huh, that's sad to hear. I rather liked his contribution to Square with Final Fantasy XII. Best of luck to him @ Level 5.

I was in no way attempting to change everyone's opinion on their "hate". I was really just initiating a debate with the poster, in particular, above me on "big loss", not if he hates Matsuno's work; also, I just wanted to state the reality of the opinions formed on this website, that is all. I promise you that I was not being passive-aggressive. Besides, I am not exactly sure how someone can tell such emotion with just words over the internet. But good try. I will try to be careful with my words in the future to avoid this problem. No guarantees

Aw. I was a fan of the Ivalice games.. especially Tactics and XII. Well, maybe this is what he needed. It seemed that the work of Director was just too much stress (bow-out midway through XII's production) so maybe having a new start is the best option. Wish him the best.

While this is a topic about him, anyone play Vagrant Story? That's also part of the Ivalice games but I never got a hold of it.

^ Hey, you make a good point. Perhaps making big titles is too much stress as well as being director for them so he turns to "compact" games.

No, I have never played Vargant Story. But I have played Final Fantasy XII and I enjoyed very much - the vastness of the environment, the accents of the character (Balthier; lol), and monsters and weapons to list a few.

In all honesty, that seems to be all you EVER do, what with all of these posts you've been making.

Stop being so desperate for attention.

Too much tea has been spilt.

Can he handle it?

Now this thread is turning interesting.

I have PMed Selryam in order to try to solve this problem between us. I wish not to go off-topic here on this thread.

The tea is too strong for this one.
