With the release of Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core coming up, the guys at 1up decided to sit down and have a chat with Hajime Tabata, the director of Crisis Core to converse about the game.

1up Staff asked Hajime how he came to be selected to direct Crisis Core and if he was intimidated to work on this Prequel to FFVII, and he answered:

“From the beginning, the plan was to create a Final Fantasy game for the PSP. When I was chosen to be director, it was my job to decide, specifically, what the title would be. After consulting with Mr. Nomura and Mr. Kitase, I decided it would be a Compilation of Final Fantasy VII title. Handling such a popular series was indeed a source of pressure, but a good kind of pressure that motivated all of us to do a good job.”

It was also asked by 1up staff if Crisis Core would mark the end of the Final Fantasy VII compilation, and Hajime answered that No, it would not mark the end of the FFVII compilation and the finale would take a different form.
