Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says Final Fantasy 10 is "the ultimate perfection" of the beloved JRPG series, and we're sure stans will be completely normal about it
Legendary Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says he felt that Final Fantasy 10 was "the ultimate perfection of Final Fantasy" when he first saw it. While discussing the battle of the long-running, beloved JRPGs between the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy series, Horii also states that he believes there is a "stark difference" between the two.
With the first game launching in 1986, Dragon Quest ekes out Final Fantasy as the longest enduring JRPG series by just a year. In an interview with Game Informer, Horii explains his experience monitoring the newly born series that was blossoming from the same publisher. "When Final Fantasy originally came out, I was definitely paying attention to it because it was something we needed to look out for," Horii says.
However, in observing the series, Horii says he noticed a "key difference" in that Final Fantasy protagonists are well developed characters that "speak a lot", whereas Dragon Quest wants the protagonist to serve as a player insert.

Through his observation of the series over the years, he saw one entry come out on top. "I do like Final Fantasy, though," Horii says. "When I first saw Final Fantasy 10, I recall feeling this was the ultimate perfection of Final Fantasy."
Final Fantasy fans all have their favorite that they will fight junction system and materia combination in order to defend, so please fight the urge to be anything but normal about this online. After all, Horii has been there from the beginning, and thus has a better opinion than you.
