"Shinji Hatano at Nintendo, who is high up in the ranks there, said: 'Why don't we try this new type of RPG together?' When creating new things, there are always risks - you never know whether they will be accepted by gamers. So I was extremely thankful that he offered to collaborate. So the game was born not from the feeling that I wanted to create a game for the Wii, but rather from the trust that I have for Hatano-san." - Hironobu Sakaguchi
