According to the creator of Sonic, the former producer of the Dragon Quest license is a liar who was dishonest in court. He blames him on the networks.
To understand how Sonic’s father came to hate this man, we have to go back to last June. You may remember that Yuji Naka, co-creator of Sonic and former president of Sonic Team, was accused of insider trading. This is the fraudulent use of information to carry out lucrative stock market transactions. In his case, it’s his maneuvering in the games Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier and Dragon Quest tact
The problem is that the software had not yet been officially announced at the time. “Naka took unfair advantage of a more advantageous position than that of investors, thereby undermining fairness in the market.”, said the court in Tokyo. Ultimately, the man was sentenced to two years and six months in prison. He had to pay a fine of two million yen (12,000 dollars). The story could have ended there, but after several months of silence, Sonic’s father decided to break the silence by accusing Yu Miyage, the producer of Dragon Quest because he was a liar
Dragon Quest: A liar on the team?
There is a lot of movement among developers at Square Enix. Yuji Naka’s accusations couldn’t come at a worse time. As part of a comprehensive restructuring of the company, certain positions are changing, for example that of Yu Miyage. The man who led Dragon Quest as a producer for many years has moved into mobile games. Something that doesn’t please Yuji Naka at all, who is angry and would like to see Miyage disappear from the landscape, but somehow he is happy with the news.
According to Naka, Miyage lied when he was supposed to testify in the insider trading trial. This would have saved him from this situation and Sonic’s creator would have attracted media attention. “He is the type of person who will lie in court (there is evidence). I think it would be better if he disappeared soon.”he continued writing X. So far, no one has responded to Yuji Naka’s very aggressive accusations. And at the end of his talk, the man even congratulated the arrival of Takashi Kiryu as President of Square Enix, who will lead Dragon Quest 12, the “seems like a good person».
