Final Fantasy, Vagrant Story character designer Akihiko Yoshida departs Square Enix By Erren Van Duine on December 5, 2013 at 3:10 AM

Famed character designer Akihiko Yoshida is no longer with Square Enix, FF-Reunion reports.

According to a message in The Art of Bravely – Bravely Default artbook – Yoshida left the company back in November but he’ll still provide work for the series, likely on a freelance basis.

Yoshida joined Square back in 1995 and lent his skills to such titles as Vagrant Story, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII and more recently Final Fantasy XIV. He will also be providing the character design for Bravely Second, due out in the future on 3DS. Yoshida did not provide an explanation for his departure, but his first known non-Square Enix freelance project is Knights of Glory by mobile game publisher Cygames.
