Final Fantasy 7 - An oral history - [Polygon]
COVER STORY: "An inside look at the creation and fallout of Square's industry-defining role-playing game, as told by those who were there."
(from Polygon by Matt Leone - January 9, 2017)
"Today, it sits above a Doutor coffee shop a few doors from a train station in a busy part of Hiyoshi, Yokohama.
Visit the building and you won’t see a plaque commemorating the history or remnants of a company whose characters now model Louis Vuitton clothes and sell millions of games. Yet on that spot in 1983, inside his father’s office space, founder Masafumi Miyamoto began a development studio called Square.
Initially, it wasn’t even a formally-designated company. It was a room where people came and went.
Some describe the company in its early days as a family business. One of Square’s first hires, Shinichiro Kajitani, joined simply because he was friends with Miyamoto and compares the young studio to a college club. Another, Hironobu Sakaguchi, designed games while working part time.
“We treated it like a hobby, not a career,” says longtime Square composer Nobuo Uematsu. “We just wanted to do what we liked. We weren’t worried about our salaries or living situations or thinking, ‘Where is this company going?’”
But people grow up and things change."

(Archive) Wooby RPG: The Legend of the Woob Blocks - RM2k3 - RMN(?)
(from Wooby RPG: Legend Of The Woob Blocks GamePage on RMN by Dookie - February 4th 2015)
''Wooby RPG - The Legend of the Woob Blocks'' is a Paint stylish incomplete cancelled RPG demo made by Team ''Dookie'' created with RPG Maker 2003 by Enterbrain.
In the beginning of time, Mother Nature took constant care of the Great World. But, like all things, her spirit began to fade. Knowing this, she sealed her powers into several mysterious blocks and hid them in the darkest corners of the world, having faith that in her absence, a hero would rise up and use these blocks to restore balance to the earth.
After many years, rumors of the Woob Blocks began to surface. Evil doers from all edges of the Great World mobilize their forces, and begin searching the globe for these amazing treasures.
Wooby's father, keeper of one of the Woob Blocks, is robbed by his family's arch nemesis, the villain known as Crock. Its up to Wooby to seek out the Woob Blocks before they fall into the wrong hands!
