Miyaji is known for his work at Gamearts, a company that he founded at the age of 19 with his brother Yoichi Miyaji.

Whoa....

He'll be missed. Even though I never heard of his games, the screenshot looks like something I'd play...if I had the console for it.

Grandia. I remember playing that game quite a while ago. The creator will be missed greatly.

Curses. Why must the good die relatively young... But that goes to show how precious life is and how we usually don't think of dieing ourselves. Especially around 40 or so unless having a medical condition.

I hope he had a good and fruitful life. But thank you, Mr. Miyaji, for enriching part of our lives. May your soul rest in peace and enjoy your next life. You will be missed *sniff*.

I rented Grandia II after reading about it in a gaming magazine. Never finished it, but the file's still on my PS 2 somewhere. :(

That's horrible. Grandia 2 is one of my favorite RP Gs ever. 45's too young for anyone to die.

I've never played Grandia, but I've heard it's quite good. Sorry to hear that he passed away like this, 45 really is way too young to die. sad

Damn, Grandia looks like a great game. He will certainly be missed.

Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.
