My new hero, Rieko Kodama. I never knew she did the artwork for Phantasy Star. She also happened to be the producer on Skies of Arcadia, so obivously I'd have to put her in high regard, those being my two favorite games ever.

The interview is quite interesting, and has lots of info about PS that I never knew. I didn't even realize Yuji Naka (who created Sonic) was the lead programmer on it. Man, that game was so ahead of its time. In some ways it still is.
