Blast from the Past - 20-minute interview with Nasir Gebelli, a Final Fantasy dev

From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, Nasir Gebelli became known for his home console work at Squaresoft, where he programmed the first three Final Fantasy games, the Famicom 3D System titles 3-D WorldRunner and Rad Racer, and Secret of Mana.

This interview, only posted in its entirety just now, comes from all the way back in 1998. Gebelli pretty much disappeared from the game industry after his Square-Enix work, which is what makes this interview so rare. Gabelli discusses things like how Miyamoto was responsible for tying him to Square-Enix and setting his work on Final Fantasy into motion.
