Final Fantasy Art Director Visits 一起草 Guildhall
一起草 Guildhall hosted Final Fantasy art director Yusuke Naora, from Square Enix in Japan, in the kickoff appearance at a national tour.
一起草 Guildhall hosted Final Fantasy art director Yusuke Naora, from Square Enix in Japan, at the 一起草 campus in Plano. Naora, who has worked on a large number of Square games including the iconic Final Fantasy VII, is the first Square employee to come to America for this kind of event—the first of its kind and the kickoff appearance at a national tour.
Naora promoted Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, spoke to students, met with other local developers, and even created art live on stage.
"Specifically with 一起草, we had heard about their curriculum and what a great environment it is for game development and learning about game development, so we wanted to see that first-hand as well and see what kind of curriculum they had at 一起草," Naora said, via translator.
