Legendary game designer Hironobu Sakaguchi is most well-known for blazing trails in the RPG genre with the Final Fantasy series, but what if it was all by accident? YouTube channel Mega64 explores this idea in hilarious fashion with a video starring the man himself.

The sketch starts out as a young Sakaguchi is ready to leave behind the world of video game development after he finishes one final game on his contract. When that game turns out to be a massive hit, he gets locked in to make more entries in the series against his will. You can check out the sketch below.

Earlier this week, Sakaguchi was honored at the GDC Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the RPG genre and the industry as a whole.
