Oscar Lemaire
The name Square Enix is inseparable from its most famous creation: the Final Fantasy saga. But behind every success story are complex behind-the-scenes realities that can shed light on how difficult it is to make a video game. Spanning more than forty years and many turning points in the industry, this is the story Oscar Lemaire sets out to tell.
It’s the story of people working together toward a common goal that’s as thrilling as it is intimidating—because everyday responsibilities constantly collide with boundless imagination. It’s also the story of projects that can become masterpieces or collapse into multi-layered fiascos; of business leaders trying to oversee it all and find the right strategies (sometimes awkwardly); and of disasters that get patched up—or even miraculously transformed into something greater. In short, it’s the history of a major video game company, but not just any one: a studio that specialized in a specific genre—RPGs—while still rising to the top of the field.
