Following their departure from production, Kamitani and Puraguru relocated to Kansai and renamed themselves Vanillaware, going on to develop multiple titles including "Odin Sphere" and a reimagined version of "Dragon's Crown". Kamitani's parting with Square Enix was on poor terms, and he disliked the idea of working with the company again. Due to their earlier positive relationship, Kamitani has exclusively involved Basiscape and Sakimoto in his projects' music and sound design. The indie title "Fantasy Versus", developed and published by Animu Games, was influenced by the gameplay of "Fantasy Earth Zero".
