The RGG Summit 2024 is set to take place on September 20, 2024, marking a significant date for fans of the Yakuza series and the work of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.

The anticipation surrounding this announcement has gamers eagerly speculating about what new adventures await in the world of Yakuza or potentially a brand-new IP.
Additionally, RGG Studio is not just focused on gaming; they are branching out into television with a highly anticipated adaptation titled Yakuza Like A Dragon. This series is slated for release on October 24, 2024, and is expected to bring the gritty, action-packed world of Yakuza to life in a new medium.

In an extensive interview with Inverse, Hironobu Sakaguchi, the legendary creator of the Final Fantasy series, delved deep into the franchise's history, its evolution, and the impact that recent remakes have had on the gaming industry. Sakaguchi shared his thoughts on which entry in the series he considers the most complete, surprisingly choosing an installment other than the fan-favorite Final Fantasy VII. According to Sakaguchi, the most complete Final Fantasy is Final Fantasy IX due to its perfect blend of narrative, character development, and gameplay mechanics.
For those curious about how the series might have evolved differently, Sakaguchi, along with Nobuo Uematsu, the composer behind many iconic Final Fantasy tracks, mused about what Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX might have looked like had they remained in the pixel art style instead of transitioning to 3D. This nostalgic reflection can be explored further in an article by Noisy Pixel, where both creators discuss their love for pixel art and how it shaped the early days of the franchise.
This interview also highlights Sakaguchi's ongoing passion for game development, suggesting that even after decades of success, he still has more stories to tell. Fans of the series and those interested in the creative process behind it should definitely check out the full interview available on Inverse.
