The lights are on
Yesterday, I had the chance to interview Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi about his new mobile game, Terra Battle. As he was demonstrating the game's swirling, graceful combat system, I asked him how long it took to refine it before he was happy. The answer was much more interesting than I would have ever guessed.Terra Battle has been in development for fourteen months, and it took Sakaguchi and his team about three months to figure out how to create something that works for mobile platforms. The Terra Battle system has roots in something entirely different."I want to make a ballet dance game," Sakaguchi told me. He had created an entire pitch for the title and even took his team to Paris on a research trip.With Terra Battle nearing release, Sakaguchi says that he hasn't completely abandoned the idea. "It may still be my next game," he says. So, if you happen to download Terra Battle when it's released in October, keep Sakaguchi's prima ballerina dreams in mind as you dance your finger across your touchscreen.

Um, what?
... Why not for Vita or Wii U or just any other platform besides mobile?!
I have to admit, I love ballet. Fun to light and often beautiful. Now, would I play a ballet video game? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe not. Play a ballet game from Sakaguchi? Maybe, but still ehhhhhhhhhhhh.
Hmm ballet. Sure im willing to try so.ething different
Umm........
I hear "ballet game", and somehow I think of "ballet dance fighting game". This is something I would play forever. Hell, I'd be interested in just about any premise, save for a DDR-style rhythm game.
My little sister would love that.
As long as it's an RPG with turn based battle, I'm for it.
10/10 Game of the Year, will buy and obsess over
Sorry, I am a fan of a person's work not necessarily the person itself. So because he made a ballet game doesn't mean I have to play it and pretend it's the greatest thing ever.
Or Maybe you just got trolled by Sakaguchi lol
I guess this is what happens when you get old.
Or maybe he can focus on returning Final Fantasy to its older higher standards. They just keep getting progressively dumber and worse and 15 looks to continue that tradition.
