Sakaguchi, who was inducted to the Academy of Interactive Arts & Science Hall of Fame in 2000 for his work on "Final Fantasy," will create two Xbox-exclusive roleplaying titles for Microsoft Game Studios. "Sakaguchi-san has taken role-playing games -- traditionally a niche market -- and introduced them to a broad and diverse audience across the globe," said Peter Moore, corporate vice president of worldwide marketing and publishing at Microsoft. "We are ecstatic to work with Sakaguchi-san and celebrate what this news means not only for Xbox, but for gamers worldwide."
