Yuji Horii really likes FFX & XII

Finaland : We are a FF fansite, so if you had to choose one or several elements from FF, which ones would you be taking ?

 

Yuji Horii : I’m a real fan also of FF, I see it as a great rival, and we won’t be speaking of stealing their ideas, even if there’s a lot in common with how DQ is developed. I really like FFX, because it was the first with voices, I think these voices are a major point of the game. And I really like FFXII as well, really good in the way the game was structured. There are similarities with DQ once again, like the teleport spells, which allows to jump anywhere on the map, so it’s very easy and pleasant to play with that kind of features.

Well, I guess those are two opinions I personally disagree with the guy on. Still love Dragon Quest, though.
