Yasumi Matsuno "pulls out of the drawer" an idea created for the Vagrant Story sequel for the development of a Final Fantasy XIV quest chain.
Yasumi Matsuno, a famous Square Enix producer and director of titles like Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story, has recently been the writer of one of the new quest chains that Final Fantasy XIV has received in its Shadowbringers expansion.
Called Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr, Matsuno asked through her personal Twitter account the reaction that the players had had after completing it, especially those outside of Japan. Among the responses, one user explained that he liked "the concept of how the mind creates defenses to deal with trauma, often lying to itself so as not to confront the truth."
A short time later, Matsuno explained that this idea was originally created for the Vagrant Story sequel. "I took it out of the drawer for the first time in 20 years," he concludes.
Thank you for your impression.
> I also like the concept of how the mind create defenses to deal with trauma ……
That idea was invented for the sequel to "Vagrant Story".
