Why the man behind Final Fantasy went free to play

"Free to play games are ten a penny on the app store. At least they would be if they cost anything. And very many of them are very awful, and unworthy of the time and attention of dedicated gamers. Sometimes, though, there are some surprising hits. So when no lesser name than Hironobu Sakaguchi (of Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger fame) released one, we felt we had to take notice. The game was Terra Battle, an odd and addictive combination of role-playing and real-time strategy. We were impressed enough to bestow a Silver Award, though while also recognising it would have been ever better as a premium title."
