This won't mean much to older folks on the board but those of us who grew up with a Super Nintendo in the 90s know his work, he worked on nearly every hit Square put out back then and even on some of their more lackluster newer ones. He must have just got into the industry back in 1991 if he was only 45. As with the movie and music industry we're seeing the game industry lose those from the early years and they're not being replaced by the same quality of people.

Too bad. I did really enjoy those old games.
I think the guys who made them miss them too, all the large companies in japan have driven away the folks who made the games that built the companies. Sad thing is that even if you don't like the project when you're an artist you just go with it because it's your job which has to suck.
