Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, has started his own independent game development studio named Mist Walker, Famitsu reports. According to Sakaguchi, the studio will employ a team of elite artists and game developers to create new RPGs and other game projects. Potential employees include noted artists Yoshitaka Amano and Takehiko Inoue.

After being relegated to a figurehead position after the disaster of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Sakaguchi was credited as the executive producer of Final Fantasy X and XI. In reality, he had very little input with those titles.
