Try to think of all the video game legends you can. These are people, not games. I'll get it started: Sid Meier John Carmack Will Wright Shigeru Miyamoto Peter Molyneux (He's sorry about Fable but we still have Populous) Oleg Maddox (for you Flight Sim freaks) Gabe Newell Sorry, Shigeru is the only console legend I know off-hand. Keep going, let's see who's who.

Hironobu Sakaguchi, he's the man behind Final Fantasy series from I-X. I think he is the president of Mistwalker Studios now (games like Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey).

Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil) and Yu Suzuki (Shenmue, Virtua Fighter) are the main one's that come to mind. However I think they were both said already.

He's good but i'm not sure about "legend" yet. ..Maybe what he 'll do in Seeds would earn him that status.

I would say he's more of an asshat than a legend. There's a difference in Fame and Infamy. Hitler is vilified and remembered, but he's no legend. Unless you're evil and antisemitic, I guess.
