Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy VIII (1999)

In April 2000, José Rabadán, a teenager from Murcia (Spain) killed both of his parents and his sister with a katana. The media accused Final Fantasy VIII of inducing Jos to do it, with one magazine stating, "he was just imitating his hero, Squall" who, in a moment of the story thinks that he must kill Spoiler: someone close to him: Rinoa.

However, José Rabadán hadn't finished the game, nor even reached the point in which this event occurs, proving the article to be jumping to conclusions. José was arrested and spent eight years in jail. He has since been known by the nickname of "El asesino de la Katana" (The Katana Killer).

Tomohiro Nishikado, the game's creator, wasn't too good at playing video games and was only able to balance the game based on other people's feedback. He admitted that he had trouble making it past the first level and that he would've made the game a lot easier had he balanced it only on his own experiences.

Tomohiro Nishikado, the game's creator, wanted to create a game that was better than the Atari game "Breakout", which he was hooked on at the time. Based on the sense of accomplishment and exhilaration from breaking the targets, Nishikado wanted to improve upon this by giving the targets a more interesting shape and by turning it into a shooting game.
