Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi reacts to online backlash after he praises an AI-generated fan trailer imagining a Final Fantasy VI remake. According to reporting, Sakaguchi posted comments about the trailer earlier this week, which drew criticism from some users. The backlash includes reactions from other Square-associated creators: SaGa developer Akitoshi Kawazu tells him to “please stop,” after which Sakaguchi continues engaging publicly. In response, Sakaguchi shares additional AI-related content, describing or presenting work he has made that is also AI-generated. Kotaku reports that he follows up with material that he characterizes as a rougher or “sloppified” version, tying it back to his original interest in the AI-created remake concept. Eurogamer frames Sakaguchi’s response as surprise at the intensity of the reaction, while noting that the exchange escalates rather than de-escalates. Across the accounts, the core points are Sakaguchi’s initial positive remarks about an AI fan trailer, the subsequent criticism and request to stop, and his decision to continue posting AI-generated material.
