Q7: FFXIV takes a lot of inspiration from past Final Fantasy games. How important to you is it to pay tribute to the series' history when implementing something relatively familiar like Gunbreaker?

A7: Of course I don't feel that referencing or paying homage to past Final Fantasy titles is important, I have a different approach or different way of thinking about utilizing elements from past Final Fantasy titles. I myself am a very big fan of Final Fantasy; I played the very first Final Fantasy and continue to play, so you can say I’m a very old time fan. But looking at Final Fantasy, especially from Final Fantasy 7 and beyond, with each numbered title there’s a different world setting, different characters, etc, and these are good elements to games like that but at the same time, I think they’re bad elements as well. So with FFXIV especially with the relaunch of A Realm Reborn, I felt that we didn’t have enough fan service to people who enjoy the Final Fantasy series so I try to incorporate as many of those kinds of Final Fantasy elements as I could and make it a sort of theme park of Final Fantasy, so that fans like me (old time fans) as well as more recent fans that got to know Final Fantasy through some of the newer titles can all enjoy and play together. So that’s why I kind of reference the past Final Fantasy titles to pay those homages, and that’s one of the reasons I do that.

Wanted to leave this here.
