Everyone now has a new collab theory
Tekken’s Katsuhiro Harada, Smash Bros’ Masahiro Sakurai, and Final Fantasy XIV and XVI’s Naoki Yoshida dined at a restaurant together, and this unexpected meetup opened the floodgates of theorycrafting behind the reason for their meeting, as well as some hilarious, if entirely unrealistic requests for crossovers, like having a wolf Torgal from the latest Final Fantasy entry as a playable character in Tekken 8.
It’s entirely possible that these three superstars of the Japanese game industry met without any particular business reason behind it, and they just enjoyed a good time together, as they’re all very thoughtful and well-spoken.
Still, it’s very interesting to know what exactly they talked about during the meeting that, as per Masahiro Sakurai, went on for more than five hours.
