Thanksgiving Special: Who Deserve the Thanks
KeyWord: MMORPG Date: 11-26-2007
Summary: The website of QJ released the special feature of Thanksgiving. We'll be paying our respects to people from the industry who deserve gratitude after the work they've done.

Honorable mentions:

Tomonobu Itagaki
Any fan would've included Tomonobu Itagaki in this list, but we had to settle for ten. That, and some statements of this guy can ruin Thanksgiving for other gamers (don't worry, we don't think Tekken sucks).

Controversial remarks aside, Itagaki has proven his worth as Team Ninja's leader by giving us pure dosage of action in Ninja Gaiden and eye-candy babes in Dead or Alive. Itagaki's mantra in developing video games involve violence, sex appeal, and pushing gaming platforms to the limit - what more can you ask for?

Yasumi Matsuno
After working on Ogre Battle titles, Yasumi Matsuno joined Square and directed development of games that garnered praise from both gamers and critics alike. Two of his projects, Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy XII, surprised everyone with fresh mechanics and received perfect 40/40 scores from Famitsu.

Matsuno's name isn't thrown around as often as other Japanese developers, but those who know him are aware of his genuine ideas and realize how much respect he deserves. Even Square Enix' premiere series of games, the Ivalice Alliance, wouldn't have been possible without Matsuno's immersive worlds that had intriguing political twists.
