Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they're far from it. They use Japanese words but usually end up pronouncing them wrong and sounding like total ***. You can find alot of these *** clogging up the forums of Gaia Online, hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket, or crowding the manga section of your local bookstore. Synonym of wapanese.
Japanese wanna-be who misuses words like desu/kawaii and is an extreme fan of anime/manga to the point where they would cosplay.
Alternatively, they think anime characters love them. or something like that
But idk about the Sakaguchi thing. He did only direct up to FFV. He is listed for "original concept" for the rest of them until he left, though. That can mean as much as an almost directing role or as little as "he started this franchise so he is being given credit even though he hasn't shown up to work in a week." The stories weren't even spectacular in his day, and the original game was just a knockoff of Dragon Quest. I do put some unverified merit to his name though, which is why I am interested in playing the Last Story if it ever comes out here.
I suppose it's speculation at best. Director or producer, either way you have a large hand in the project and aren't just footing the bill. I like to believe the stories were largely his. He certainly didn't make his own company on the foundation that he had paid for the development of very successful games, so there has to be something else there.
I've never played the original DQ nor FF1. I know FF1's story, however, and it's more complex than anything I've experienced playing DQ (for the record the last (and only) DQ I played was 7)

I'd say that Dragon Quest 7's story was more complex than Final Fantasy 1...
The best Dragon Quest storyline is V's though, by far. You should pick that one up on the DS if you're into that kind of thing.

From what I remember, it was a series of "solve one town's plight and then move to the other", which I got tired of after about 10 iterations. Admittedly didn't finish it, so I can't judge the "overall" story since I never got that far (evidently), and admittedly FF1 probably seems much the same way until you finally get to the end. Eh.
Playing the better DQs is definitely on my todo list which grows ever larger by the day.
Having admiration for another culture is one thing, but it seems this just dives face-first into obnoxious territory. Especially the girl in the video that Ashleh posted.

Then the DS remake of Dragon Quest V should sate your interest. It's definitely my favorite Dragon Quest game. I would avoid the remake of IV, but that's just my opinion. I started the remake of VI but never finished it, but it had a decent storyline for a Dragon Quest game.
Earlier today, it was discovered that Square Enix had filed for a trademark of the name "Square" which cites the many methods of video game publishing we see in the video game industry today. It seems Square Enix is pursuing a re-branding effort as "Square". Thanks to users on the web, including deanbmmv of Reddit, we've discovered that the Square trademark looks very similar in description to the trademarking of Square Enix.
"Square" Trademark: Computer game software; video game software; sound recordings in the form of optical discs, magnetic discs and semiconductor ROMs featuring music and fictional stories; audio visual recordings in the form of optical discs, magnetic discs and semiconductor ROMs featuring music and animated fictional stories; prerecorded compact discs featuring music; prerecorded video discs featuring music and animated fictional stories; mouse pads; straps for cellular phones; video game controllers; downloadable musical sound recordings; downloadable ring tones for mobile phones; downloadable wallpaper graphics for mobile phones; downloadable electronic publications in the nature of magazines, journals and newsletters in the field of computer games and video games. Providing on-line computer games; providing on-line video games; providing information on computer game strategies and video game strategies via computer networks and global communication networks; providing information on entertainment in the field of computer games, video games, card games, animated cartoons, comics, novels and magazines; providing on-line non-downloadable comics; providing on-line non-downloadable magazines, journals and newsletters in the field of computer games, video games, cartoons and general entertainment.
Square Enix spawned from a company merger between Square Soft, and Enix. Square Enix also owns Taito Corporation (Eidos), which has been compiled into Square Enix Europe.
Perhaps a future press release will clarify this recent trademark filing, until then keep calling them Sqeenix
