Speaking to VGC this week, the veteran designer was addressing previous comments he made about his long-time collaborator Nobuo Uematsu, whom he said had likely completed his final full soundtrack with Fantasian, due to unspecified health issues.
The 58-year-old Mistwalker founder, who has worked on many acclaimed role-playing games such as Chrono Trigger and Kingdom hearts, told VGC he had also approached Fantasian as if it were his final full title, and suggested that the developer’s plans beyond the game’s two scheduled episodes were yet to be set.
“I think it is certainly possible that this could be my last project,” he told VGC, “and that was kind of in the back of my mind as we were developing it.”

Not interested in remasters of The Last Story or Blue Dragon
The Final Fantasy creator, who is currently finishing up iOS RPG Fantasian, told VGC in a recent interview that he would rather spend his future years in game development “building something new”.
“To be perfectly honest, there aren’t any plans for any remakes at the moment. Although they’re called remakes, the amount of effort and resources it would command means the difference is basically nil between [developing] a remake versus a completely new game,” he said.
“I would personally find myself more attracted to the idea of coming up with another original story or world, or building something new.”
Mistwalker was formed partly thanks to backing from Xbox, whom it created two exclusive RPGs for; Blue Dragon (2006) and Lost Odyssey (2007). Since 2011’s The Last Story (Wii), the company has focused exclusively on mobile games.
