Landstalker & Shining Force character designer Yoshitaka Tamaki has passed away
Aw. Another old soul from SEGA who’s dead now.
He pass on a little too soon. R.I.P. Enjoy your next life sir. :-(

RIP
His time has come before he give us Landstalker 2 đ˘
RIP. But I thought for a sec that it’s Tony Taka, the artist for some Shining games who’s dead. Thank God that’s not the case since losing Tony’s art will be such a gigantic loss.
