Day in the Life of a Japanese Game Illustrator
Day in the Life of a Japanese Game Illustrator
A day in the life of a Japanese Square Enix Game Illustrator. Square Enix is one of the top video game developers in Japan, creating ultra popular titles known-worldwide such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts and making it all happen, 3700 hard working employees. Today, we follow a Japanese Game Illustrator working in the Japanese game development company from morning until the evening. We show what a typical work day in Japan would be including her typical work hours as a Japanese game illustrator working for Square Enix. We also see her morning routine and after work hobbies. Also this is what it would be like working for a popular Japanese game company and the different staff you may come across during a typical work day. The Japanese game industry has so many different jobs so it was great to be able to show another job outside of game development and game programming. Rubi has been working as a video game illustrator in Japan for 6 years now. Even as a little girl she loved to draw but growing up couldn’t envision a proper career where she could pursue her passion. So she entered University majoring in a completely different field, but when her job hunting started, she discovered that there were prestigious Japanese companies were offering illustration jobs. Recognizing the opportunity, she convinced her parents to let her study Character Design at a Professional Training College, ultimately leading to her dream job at her current company, Square Enix and working with Art Directors like Toshiyuki Itahana.

Me enamoré de Ruby
bro should do us a solid and nab some behind the scenes footage of FF16
必要ない描写が多すぎると感じる。ただの一例だが、服をハンガーにかける映像とか編集者は何を伝えたいの？
Amazing video! Rubi is so cute and talented 🙂
超凄腕クリエイターじゃん
すげぇ
Putting mask on while outside in fresh air. What is wrong with those people
i saw FFIX moogle and i clicked ♥
You should do a "A day in the life of a Nintendo game developer."
Aligato Paolo Sama!
感動🥹
Will you visit Toei Production?

This is where YoshiP works AHHHHHHHHHHH BIG FAN
I’d love to see Tajima or Barudan embroidery machines :))
I love how the most replayed part is people trying to see what kind of little animals she has in the cage at the start.
Also I saw that Moogle and was immediately impressed Paolo! You managed to get us a look inside a prestigious studio!
Damn pretty depressing
So this is socializing these days ? Playing online and getting hammered. And Japanese wonder why their birth rate is at rock bottom
Zell appreciation! He’s a funny character.
Amogus spotted, even in Japan! Looks like a fun job.
anyone has her instagram? she’s so pretty
When they go to work and then go back home, I’ve noticed they don’t take a shower. I couldn’t have dinner if I didn’t take a shower first.
自分が大好きだったスクエニはもういないんだと思った。
Very entertaining video
Hey Paolo! Would be great if you could try do a day in the life of a japanese barber/hairdresser?
Paolo, we need a Sutan update 😀
Moogle ❣️
dude, SQUARE ENIX :000
Absolutely legend. Paolo is up on my top favorite youtubers/content creators. From top 10 best to top 5 best. Maybe top 3. But certainly is the most expected videos release for me.
魔女にならなかったリノアじゃん
di na naligo eh 😅
Working for Square Enix would be the dream. Hopefully someday I am qualified.
from game illustrator to living in a cardboard box, ai art will change her life.
someone got summoned by thumbnail gurl?
love this video! im so happy to enjoy this type of content!1
FF頼みが強いw
Paolo could you tell them to release sleeping dogs 2?👍
Man I got ptsd from the alarm 💀
2:03 Wow, a small seat dedicated for putting on shoes. Always interesting seeing the small things in life that people use. Not that I would ever use it.
we need a day in the life of a fukushima meltdown clean up crew. XD
AMOGUS
Wow! Thumbs up just for getting into Square Enix!
Ciao Paolo
Do a day in the life of a Japanese animator
3700 employees? i had no idea.
Also: Not using a smudge guard for the tablet… :O
Also also: She should really use that chair to keep a good posture. Looks painful for 10 hours a day.
Artists behind the scenes like her get way too few credit for their work.
she’s so cool!! thank you for sharing c:
every time I watch this video series I feel motivated to learn and try to work in my dream workplace
That is NOT how you should ever keep a Chinchilla. Super small enclosure, keeping it alone. These animals are extremely social and it borders on abuse to keep them in such a small space. Imagine being locked inside a 15 square meters room being alone 24/7 for the rest of your life never seeing another member of your species.
one of the best ones yet
Whoa you got to make a video about a Square Enix employee and not just any employee but an illustrator too. Man, I would love to see a game composer from Square Enix next if possible.
