Nick Taylor travelled to Paris to meet some of the development talent behind the legendary Hironobu Sakaguchi’s latest game, a fantasy role playing epic for the Xbox 360.

In 1987, Hironobu Sakaguchi was a lowly games designer for Japanese software firm Square. He’d been designing games for years but, so far, none of his titles had sold well. He decided to have one final stab at it before quitting the industry, so he created the game that he’d always dreamed of making, a last attempt at designing his perfect title. He called it Final Fantasy and it became an instant and enormous hit.
