According to Mega64 during a podcast or something, when shooting this, they mentioned that they previously worked with Ken Kutaragi and Sakaguchi heard that and asked to see what video he was in, and after he watched it, he was committed to work even harder for this video!! Hahahahahaa!
@tabuu9 Mega64: Okay, Sakaguchi-san. For this scene, we want you to look like you're going insane so we'll leave it up to you to how to look like that. Sakaguchi: Okay. (Shoves paper in his mouth and bashes keyboard) Mega64: Excellent!

An executive producer is basically a manager. They set and oversee deadlines and manage the budget. Their creative control is very minimal. Sometimes the "executive producer" credit is given when someone had no real involvement at all, such as if they were engaged in developing predecessors of the same series. So, yeah, he can be the "executive producer" and not have anything to do with the game at all besides appearing somewhere on the title screen to make it look good.
Hironobu Sakaguchi..thank you for everything you've done in gaming and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the stories and adding that little bit of wonder into my childhood. No matter the path you take in life, you'll always be remembered and loved for what you've accomplished and given.
Aww... I'm hoping that they would continue it through X. I wonder how'd it turn out. _1999_ *SAKAGUCHI*: "How am I suppose to free myself from this, I'm sick and tired of this shit! AHA! Nobody likes an introverted protagonist, great, maybe I'd go with some teenage chick-flick narrative to make them cringe too!" *Rocco & Shawn*: "Sakaguchi! Everybody loves FINAL FANTASY VIII! The love story was a success, it's like Titanic with swords! Go make one more..." _2000_ *SAKAGUCHI*: "Nothing is working for me! Goddamnit! Oh, Hey... how about I make this next one a return to old traditional stuff. Nobody likes whimsical simplistic designs nowadays. It's boring..." *Rocco & Shawn*: "FINAL FANTASY IX IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE, SAKAGUCHI! The old school feel, the music, (Vivi!), the story, the art designs, (Vivi!), oh my fucking god. This is the best... Oh, did we forget to mention Vivi? Hurry and make another one!" _2001_ *SAKAGUCHI*: "Fuck this... I'll make the hero an extremely annoying brat with daddy issues!" *Rocco & Shawn*: "We're still crying with that Zanarkand theme, Sakaguchi. Seriously... how long have you been sleeping with Nobuo Uematsu?" *SAKAGUCHI*: FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Yeah, I too was kinda hoping they would go all the way up to at least FFX, but I still think the ending with the movie was perfect. Your scenarios for VIII-X are hilarious though! Love it!
Only final fantasy game I played in to some depth as a kid. Got stuck at that tree boss though. Kept using fire spells which dealt high damage, but kept pissing off the tree to totally annihilate my team. Despite not completing it (although I really wanted to, unfortunately I couldn't due to time), definitely a game I had a great amount of fun playing.
2:41 Is my favorite shot of this entire video. You can really feel the years of frustration that has built up and contemplating finally hearing the words he's been waiting for.
Dude, don't be that guy. This has nothing to do with which FF game is better than what. It's just a funny video featuring the creator of the series in a parody telling of how he made said franchise.
@@danielkoch8736 It is the real him. Check his account. The trailer for Mistwalker's unreleased JRPG called Cry On is uploaded on it. He's the real Sakaguchi. Sakaguchi-san.....please consider re-starting development on Cry on. Please T_T
Legendary video... Hugely underrated! Sakaguchi's acting was top notch! I'm amazed and glad I got to watch this in my lifetime. Thank you Mega64 and Sakaguchi Sama! ❤🎉
FF13 is only bad because of the way gameplay only allows you play one character only in battle. I beat it and it was dissapointing on Xbox 360. But i do think they fixed the gameplay in Lightning Returns which i thought was pretty good
this man and his crew told me the best stories of my life. i am blessed to had these games growing up. it made me what i am today and i thank you so much for it!
Mr Hironobu Sakaguchi if you read this I'd like to thank you for your final fantasy series. I enjoyed playing them and still think they are better than alot of games today.
What in the ACTUAL literal FUCK, they got the REAL Sakaguchi and they pulled zero punches and he was 100% okay with it and I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS UNTIL TODAY? UA-cam's "algorithm" is bullshit. This is amazing.
Wow, had no idea this was so old. Was wondering why it popped up in my feed, then I realized it started cropping up around the same time Sakaguchi started playing/commenting on FFXIV. The amount of screenshots that man took and posted on Twitter from that game is insane. The funniest part for me was his "jealousy" of "other game franchises" getting theme parks, or what-not, in Japan recently (I think there's a Mario theme park that opened a few years ago, as well as a couple others I think). He then said FFXIV basically fulfilled that dream of having said theme park, as everything in FFXIV is really a love letter to Sakaguchi and those early Final Fantasies. His screenshots are all of monsters and NPCs he thought no one would ever remember or even notice, but there they are: in FFXIV just hanging out, waiting to be discovered. If there's anyone in Square-Enix that can take over as a spiritual successor to Sakaguchi, it's Yoshida Naoki.
Greatest video in the internet as of this writing! Sakaguchi is such an awesome sport. The basic descriptions of FF titles sound very silly at first, but the execution of the ones he directed are just that damn good!
Damn- Mega64 is on a roll! First the amazing D4 sketch, now real life Sakaguchi?! Brilliant- absolutely brilliant! Also, Final Fantasy is my favorite series ^_^
I saw this during the award show and nearly shat myself. I really hope Mr. Sakaguchi knows how awesome all of us fans think he is. I love the guy even more now for being so cool about doing stuff like this. Thanks Mega64 for making this happen.
LMFAO This is amazing! I always imagine Sakaguchi is this well-dressed figure creating wonderful things with a wave of his hand, but never saying much. That image is only slightly more hip now.
I think a lot of people in these comments don't realize that Sakaguchi's involvement in the Final Fantasy series started to wane after FFVII. He was the director for the first 5 games, and he came up with the plot synopsis for VI and VII in addition to producing them. After that, he only acted as a producer for FFVIII-FFX. Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy: Spirits Within were the last Final Fantasy projects Sakaguchi was majorly involved in, which is why this video doesn't mention VIII - XIII.
Omega666Evil I just looked it up. Yeah, I was wrong about FF9. Although he didn't direct it, he did write and produce it. I originally thought he had only produced it. Sorry about that. He did, however, only produce 8, 10, and 10-2 though, and he wasn't involved with 12 or the 13 games at all.
+Aidyn3000 Sakaguchi did heavy work on IX. He was a designer on it and it was his scenario. It was the most intimate work he did on an FF since V I believe. VIII and X were Kitase's babies, Kitase bought a lot of good will from earlier directorial efforts so he was given a lot of control to make his own strain of Final Fantasy at the time. XI was Sakaguchi's idea but he didn't have a lot of creative input besides forming the team for it (which came from the refusal of Square to greenlight another Chono game. The XI team was the remnants of CT/Xeno/CC) XII was supposed to be the future of the franchise and Sakaguchi put Matsuno in charge and gave him full creative control. Sakaguchi had heavy respect for Matsuno, called the man a genius. Sadly, after Sakaguchi left Square could not keep their hands out of the project and caused a full restart, delaying it from 2004 to 2006. Along the way they forced game design changes, plot changes, cast changes (Van and Peneleo were not originally in the game) and eventually just forced Matsuno out of the company. It's funny how they felt like XII's real time combat and very elaborate, adult focused plotting was too much for a mainline game yet watch them struggle desperately to make something along those lines nowadays
It's made ten times funnier by the fact that they got the REAL sakaguchi to do this!! XD

obermegalutschoar Clearly you don't know what the role of "executive producer" actually entails.
Master Jaster Then explain it.
An executive producer is basically a manager. They set and oversee deadlines and manage the budget. Their creative control is very minimal. Sometimes the "executive producer" credit is given when someone had no real involvement at all, such as if they were engaged in developing predecessors of the same series.

12 was sweet, good gameplay, the hunts were fun.
