Final Fantasy's Hiroyuki Ito and the Science of Battle

This is actually rather interesting too see what basically created the the legendary RPG style battle system. I actually chuckled a little bit when I read where he got some influence from.

SPOILER!!:

American Football and Racing in one of the later titles.

He basically did the Battle system for the Original Final Fantasy. Also IV, V, VI, IX, Tactics, and XII.

Is there a way we can convince Mr. Ito to work on FFXV? Note how all Final Fantasy games divisible by III (or well, all except III) are games that made their mark in the series (VI being one of the undisputed classics alongside VII, IX being a memorable experience, and XII being one of the few perfect games in Famitsu despite the cold reception in the US). At least the battle system, even if it's a minor rehash of old-school turn-based combat.
