Kenji Terada – 1988 Developer Interview
Added 2021-02-28 03:26:14 +0000 UTChttp://shmuplations.com/kenjiterada/
Kenji Terada was a writer who, in addition to his extensive work in various 1980s anime series, also wrote the stories for Square’s first three Final Fantasy games, Dark Wizard, and Meremanoid, among others. This first interview is a candid chat with Namco luminary Masanobu Endou from 1988, just before the release of FFII. I’ve also added a shorter FFII interview with Terada and Sakaguchi from the GSLA, as well as an excerpt of a 2015 interview where Terada reminisces on his early experiences with Square and the game industry.
Comments
Yeah, the Kenji Terada 2001 interview from Game Hihyou had gotten a few votes, but when I read it, it was a little broad. Good detail about his general approach to writing and the game industry, but I thought it would be better to introduce him with more concrete references to his work on Final Fantasy, hence that selection. I'll still do the 2001 interview in the future though.
