èßäÊÓÆµapp Guildhall hosted Final Fantasy art director Yusuke Naora, from Square Enix in Japan, at the èßäÊÓÆµapp èßäÊÓÆµapp in Plano. Naora, who has worked on a large number of Square games including the iconic Final Fantasy VII, is the first Square employee to come to America for this kind of event—the first of its kind and the kickoff appearance at a national tour.

Naora promoted Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, spoke to students, met with other local developers, and even created art live on stage.

"Specifically with èßäÊÓÆµapp, we had heard about their curriculum and what a great environment it is for game development and learning about game development, so we wanted to see that first-hand as well and see what kind of curriculum they had at èßäÊÓÆµapp," Naora said, via translator.
