FF birthplace and Hiroshi Sakaguchi released the image of the dot picture game plan that became the bots. Similar to Octop Straveler

Game Creator Hiroshi Yamaguchi, January 2, January 2, the screenshot was published on Twitter that it was Dot picture plan that gave up. It does not seem to go out to the world anymore, but I am calling a great response of the fan.

Mr. Yamaguchi is a game creator known as a parent of the Final Fantasy series. He was involved in many works in Square Enix, and established Mist Walker independently in 2004. He worked on Blue Dragon, Last Story, Terra bat, etc. last year, and the new RPG Fantasia, which combines the field of diorama and the 3DCG character.

Fantasia is divided into front and back editions and delivered for Apple Arcade, and Won the Best Apple Arcade Game at the 2021 App Store Awards. The same work was a paragraph, and the future trend of Mr. Yamaguchi had attracted attention, and the year of the year has been published, the screenshot of Dot picture plan that given abandoned was released. The frog was the work of the main character.

In the screenshot, there are three characters on the side of the river, and it will be the frog that stands at the beginning. And behind there is a robot and a goat wreck character. Certainly, including the landscape, it is drawn with a dot picture, but characteristic of the expression that makes the depth that incorporates the element of the depth of field is characterized. It seems that there is a big city at the distant view that looks blurred. Effects such as Godly are also placed, and it appears to be produced in 3D for the water of the river.

Such visual representations are reminiscent of the HD-2D graphics of Square Enix RPG Sociopath Traveler. Rather than that, a strong connection is felt. For example, the rocks that appear at both ends, the central grass growing ground on the rocks that are seen in the co-strand region of the same work, and the ground of the flatland region. A slightly big tree grown in the center can also be confirmed that the same is true.

About this screenshot Yamaguchi has not stated that it is an actual game screen. Therefore, it may have been a new concept art that made the asset of Oct op Traveler. Alternatively, there is no such project in the first place, and it may also be an image produced only to entertain the fans.

Mr. Yamaguchi comments The hero is of course not only the frog w. Why Of course is not clear, but in November last year, we published the character with the image of the frog that appears in Throne Trigger, and published the appearance of FF14. It was said that it was requested from the fan. Also in the FF series, frogs are familiar with magic tops.

Anyway, it seems that development of this work will not be promoted in the future. However, a number of comments such as those who are unfortunate that Mr. Yamaguchi gives up the plans and not to give up. Of course, those who point out similarities to Oct op Starter are also seen.

Mr. Yamaguchi says that it will be year of vacation in 2022 (4Gamer). Therefore, new works may not be announced this year. Meanwhile, he is addicted to FF14 from last year, and the way to Twitter will post the situation every day (related articles). This year is likely to be progressing such activities.

By the way, as a new work to adopt HD-2D, Tactics RPG Triangle Strategy is scheduled to be released on March 4 for Nintendo Switch. In addition, HD-2D version Dragon Quest III is also under development.
