So, you know The Final Fantasy series? But do you know who the creator is? Yes, his name is Hironobu Sakaguchi. Hironobu Sakaguchi (坂口 博信, born 1962) was the Director of Planning and Development for Square Co., Ltd.. He is the creator of the Final Fantasy series. In 1991 he was honored with the position of Executive Vice President followed shortly thereafter by an appointment of President of Square USA, Inc. In 2001, he founded Mist Walker, which began operation three years later.

Mistwalker (Japanese: ミストウォーカー) is a Japanese video game development studio started by Hironobu Sakaguchi (the creator of the popular Final Fantasy series) in 2004. The logo and name were trademarked in 2001. Mistwalker outsources coding duties to other companies (including Artoon, and Feel Plus), preferring to focus primarily on the design portion of game development.

Sakaguchi is the president of new studio, and Kensuke Tanaka, the creator of the PlayOnline system, is the vice president.

In August 2004, it was announced that Mistwalker had begun work on three new RPG games. One of them is a strategic RPG for the Nintendo DS titled ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat. The other two titles, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, are confirmed to be exclusive to Microsoft’s Xbox 360 videogame console.

While Mistwalker’s Xbox 360 titles had been publically detailed soon after their announcement in 2004, no public details were released regarding their previously announced Nintendo DS title until October 2005 when it was reported that the game would be called ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat and would feature pre-rendered graphics. - wikipedia.org
