Yoichi Wada
Yoichi Wada, then-president of Square Enix, made his thoughts about the reception of the game known to Gamasutra. He said "some value it highly and some are not very happy with it". He added, "Should "Final Fantasy" become a new type of game or should "Final Fantasy" not become a new type of game? The customers have different opinions. It's very difficult to determine which way it should go."
