Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth CGI studio forms alliance with Visions of Mana co-director’s new company Studio Sasanqua 

Kenji Ozawa's Studio Sasanqua has formed a business partnership with experienced CGI and video production company Glitz Visuals.

Studio Sasanqua and Glitz Visuals have announced that they have formed a business partnership. This will involve the two companies combining their respective strengths and exchanging employees. 

Founded on in January and unveiled in March this year, Studio Sasanqua is a new game company set up by former Ouka Studios dev and Visions of Mana co-director Kenji Ozawa. Glitz Visuals, on the other hand, is a company of 25 people specializing in CGI graphics, trailer and music video production. Despite their small size, they have some big credits to their name, having recently worked on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s lighting for Square Enix, and produced the trailer for Genki’s Tokyo Xtreme Racer.
