take care and have restful retirement, Mr. Hashimoto

 

[Rowsdower]

Hope he enjoys his twilight years. He's been with SE for so long it'll be weird without him.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

End of an era.

 

[Chasing]

Please be excited for my retirement.

End of an era, he was one of the longest-standing faces of FF.

 

[Transistor]

End of an era. And the most masterful troll ever.

This man is the reason Kingdom Hearts exists. Respect.

Seemed inevitable after he eased up on most of his responsibilities last year, but still sad to see him go. Would have liked him to be there until they got another Front Mission out (because he's talked about that being a special franchise for him as the first game he worked on at Square - he and Sakaguchi brainstormed a lot of it with the creator of that series, Toshiro Tsuchida).

 

[Chibs]

Oh damn!
Happy retirement Hashimoto-san!

 

[Phoenix7]

Happy retirement! Who takes over him?

 

[Turkoop]

Enjoy your retirement you king of trolls :D

 

[Mikch85]

Happy retirement sir!

 

[AgentLampshade]

No more excitement.

Various people already took over in different positions. I believe for Final Fantasy, Kitase took over. For Kingdom Hearts, Hazama took over.

Legend and a legendary troll. 😄

Happy retirement Mr. Hashimoto.

 

[John Bender]

Master troll. Thank you for the memories.

 

[Mengetsu]

Wow! Have a great retirement.

 

[Dest]

Wow, hard to think of Square Enix without him. Certainly worthy of all the End of an era comments.

Hope he enjoys retirement.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I wonder who's taking over as the Final Fantasy brand manager now that he's retired.

Kitase took over FF last May I believe, Hazama took over for KH
