Square Enix College Lecture Videos Now Online March 28, 2015

Square Enix has been working tirelessly on their promotion for the recent Final Fantasy titles. In fact, several individuals from Square Enix went on the road during the promotional tour for Final Fantasy Type-0 HD to talk about their jobs in game design and their experience in the game industry.  These lectures were broadcast live on the gaming stream site Twitch.TV, but thankfully these shows were not a one time broadcast. They have been archived on YouTube

The first video I want to show is the lecture Yusuke Naora did at the SMU Guildhall about game art and the artist’s process during a game’s development. The talk focused a lot on Final Fantasy Type-0 HD but they did discuss some of the work that they’re currently doing with Final Fantasy XV.

The second video I’m going to showcase is a lecture at USC where Kazuyuki Ikumori specifically talked about the process of creating in-game cinematics for Final Fantasy titles.

I really hope North America is going to get that Bravely Second title.
