Hiromichi Tanaka

Hiromichi Tanaka , born January 7, 1962, was a former Squaresoft and Square Enix game director, producer, designer, and head of the company's Product Development Division-3.
Since dropping out of Yokohama National University in 1983 along with his friend Hironobu Sakaguchi, Tanaka joined the then-fledgling game studio and had a hand in creating the very first Final Fantasy, released in Japan four years later in 1987. Since then, he has been a major part of several company projects, including non-Final Fantasy titles such as Secret of Mana, Xenogears, and Chrono Cross. He was heavily involved in the development of Final Fantasy XI as a producer, and, until December 2010, oversaw development on the series' second major online title, Final Fantasy XIV.
Tanaka announced his departure from Square Enix at the 2012 Vana Fest, citing health problems.
