He sure is/was the one that almost tanked squaresoft forcing it to merge with enix. Remember Spirits within?
While I have the utmost respect for Sakaguchi, nostalgia is the mother of all silly arguments. He did nothing by himself, and he had his fair share of bad/mediocre games, like every developer out there. For sure he was no messiah like some try to paint him.
A lot of times people give him credit for other peoples work too. After FF3, he was mostly just giving minor ideas to people and letting them run with it. Thats how FF7 and FF8 turned out so... off to people from people who had played 1-6 so dedicatedly.
I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
That's not true. Square Soft had already been considering a merger with Enix long before Spirits Within, and the failure of the movie actually made Enix have second thoughts, delaying the merger.

Sounds like they were just claiming the trademark to stop anyone from getting it. A lot of companies have done the same recently.
Can you make me one with an Uldah'n colored choco-pony? Or a lancer themed one?Made it myself.
It is pretty epic
