Shinji Hashimoto retires from Square Enix today and we’re very lucky to have received a video message from him.
Earlier today, Square-Enix producer and corporate advisor Shinji Hashimoto announced on his personal Twitter account in Japanese that May 31st would mark his final day as a Square-Enix employee and he would retire from the company after 27 years with the company.
Hashimoto was best known for being the brand manager for the Final Fantasy franchise for over a decade, which began with Final Fantasy VII, where he managed the promotional campaign for what ended up being one of the biggest and most prominent RPGs of all time.
