Final Fantasy Creator is Selling Crafted Items on the FF14 Market Board

Last year, Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, became a hardcore Final Fantasy 14 player. This year, he has taken on a brand-new challenge in Final Fantasy 14: crafting.

Sakaguchi began Final Fantasy 14 at the end of September last year. He blazed a trail through the critically-acclaimed MMORPG in 35 days, completing the Main Scenario quests with plenty of time to spend on side quests before Endwalker’s release in December.

With over a month since its launch, Sakaguchi has already completed Endwalker, and has begun diving deep into Final Fantasy 14 to complete its other challenges. Having completed old Savage raids, new Extreme trials, and collected rare mounts and gear, the father of Final Fantasy has turned his attention to crafting and gathering in Final Fantasy 14 to replenish his dwindling gil funds. In a recent tweet, Sakaguchi revealed his Weaver was already at level 90, and comedically announced his new brand, “Saka Gucci.”

Sakaguchi and Final Fantasy were nearly inseparable for most of the franchise’s life. He was a part of the development of every Final Fantasy title from the first title from 1987 all the way through Final Fantasy 10-2 in 2003. Though he left to start Mistwalker and pursue other avenues of game design after, Final Fantasy will always be a part of the game developer’s life. With so many references to older Final Fantasy titles, fans of the franchise have loved watching Sakaguchi discover the many homages to his own work within the game.

Players were thrilled to see Sakaguchi had gotten into the crafting business. His followers and fans laughed at the punderful brand name, and celebrated his first–likely of many–max-level crafter.
