Hopefully Squirrel Emperor you won't mind a little sleuthing added to this thread?
Look what Mr. Sakaguchi
posted to his public Facebook feed a couple hours ago. A lunch meeting with Jun Iwasaki. You know,
the guy who was CEO and President of Square USA from 1998-2004, then President of XSEED from 2004-2012. Wow, Square USA and XSEED sure had great runs during both those spans, eh?
Anyhow, probably just a meeting of two old friends, right?
You'll also notice that over the last several months all Sakaguchi is doing is posting on his Facebook "off to LA" "off to Tokyo" "back in Honolulu" on and on with photos of his trips. He's certainly on the move.
Oh yeah, back to Jun Iwasaki --- I wonder
what he is up to these days??
GungHo sure is flush with all that Puzzles & Dragons cash (and soon,
Clash of Clans cash), I hear they are
worth more than Nintendo at this point.
Oops, I got a little off topic. Mistwalker is in bed with GungHo, which is based in LA and Tokyo. But yeah, took a lot of speculation for me to get there. We'll see.
