"What a strong reaction, lol": Final Fantasy creator responded to criticism over his positive statements about AI

Earlier, Hironobu Sakaguchi praised the trailer for an AI remake of Final Fantasy VI.

Final Fantasy creator and Mistwalker founder Hironobu Sakaguchi is once again at the center of discussions due to his statements about AI. After criticism for praising an AI trailer for a hypothetical Final Fantasy VI remake, the developer did not back down from his position and, on the contrary, stated that he sees great potential in the technology.

Wow!? What a strong reaction, lol! Well, it's something like: "I just intuitively felt the potential" or something like that. As it is now, it doesn't work, but it seems like something intriguing might await us in the future. After all, maybe it's just that I've lived 40 years working and living exclusively on "exciting things" — after all, I'm that kind of person, lol.

In addition, Sakaguchi shared new AI concepts based on another of his role-playing games — Lost Odyssey. After leaving Square Enix in 2003, he founded Mistwalker with the support of Microsoft, where he worked on games such as Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and later Fantasian.
