Veteran Game Designer Hidenori Shibao Passes Away

Rest in Peace. My condolences to his family.

My thoughts for the family.

Don't think I've ever heard of Palidin's quest. Even the page linked mentions that it's a lesser known game.

I've never played Paladin's Quest, but Legend of Legaia is an all-time classic PlayStation RPG. Goes right alongside xenogears and Legend of Dragoon.

We've lost another OG
R.I.P. Mr.Shibao.

@Kalmaro One thing Paladin's Quest was known for was almost exclusively using the pastel range of colors.
Though the game was originally from Asmik, Enix created the localization. And Enix' item translations were almost unintelligible.

That's sad. I wonder how old he was and what happened. My condolences to the family.

Paladin's Quest was one of the earlier SNES RPG's, and it shows in the graphics (which are also quite strange) and also in the fight mechanics, which might make it look a bit rough around the edges and could make it a bit harder to get into.

But it was an interesting story and now it may possibly become even more sought after, as always happens when a creator/creators pass away.

Here's a longplay video and an "is it still worth playing now?" video review, for those who want to know more or who might possibly be interested in the game:

That's really sad. Legend of Legaia was really cool.

pours one for the homie

Sad news. RIP good sir, thank you for your works.

Unreleased in the West the impressively upgraded sequel as since been fan translated to English.

@frogopus True. But at least there's an English language patch, otherwise it would be unplayable for most of us.

RIP

But how old was he?

R.I.P. You will be missed.
