    I'm thrilled to be sharing this masterpiece, that brought me to Japan and inspired me to make games, with my sons. Please introduce it to new audiences too! Thank you Matsuno-san and the entire team for inspiring us!

    At long last, we can finally release "Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles". This remastered edition is a testament to the unwavering support of our fans over the years. I hope you will pick it up and play it through to the very end. Please enjoy!! #FinalFantasyTactics

    We had to take our son to the doctor today. The medicine was less than $5. This is a product of socialized healthcare.

    It’s an incredible honor to be at Square Enix in Japan for this release and to interact with the original creators. Without this game there’d be no Final Fantasy Tactics, I wouldn’t have dedicated decades to grow how I have, and ultimately I wouldn’t work here, let alone in games

    Absolutely wild to have by chance sat next to and met the legendary @Gota_NonaReeves and YouTheRock⭐︎ tonight! I’ve been a fan for decades and imported their music 20 years ago to USA. Listen to them both perform together here:

    Sensor Tower reports "Dragon Quest Walk," the augmented reality game app by Square Enix, has had the second-best launch month in terms of Japan earnings ever, trailing only record-holding Pokemon Go. It was downloaded more than 1.7 million times in its first month. @SquareEnix

    Did you know that the legendary artist Kenichi Sonoda (Gunsmith Cats, Bubblegum Crisis, etc.) owns an equally legendary sweets shop in Kumamoto? It’s true, and it’s delicious! I recommend the persimmon and lemon flavors! It was easy to order from here: bit.ly/2gBMMZz

    Finally passed a JLPT. Still a long way from N1, but I finally have some confidence that I could someday do it

    Back home in Japan where you can’t get burgers like this… 😭 I’ll be dreaming about and trying to recreate this at home for the next few months 🍔
