In 1998, there was this game developing company called Riverhillsoft, that produced such timeless classics like... uh... ''[[wikipedia:Overblood|Overblood]]''...? Anyway, in 1998 it disbanded, and one of its members, Akihiro Hino, went on to produce his own game developing company, being particularly supported by [[Sony Computer Entertainment]], and went to produce some respectably good sellers for the then-newborn ''[[Play Station 2]]'', especially the ''[[Dark Cloud]]'' series. That company's name is Level-5, and they only got bigger.
 
A few years later the company would get its two next big-titles, the first being unexpectedly ordered by ''[[Square Enix]]'': ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'', which also sold like crazy, and solidified their relationship (Level 5 would be later hired to produce ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''). The other title was an action-RPG ordered by Sony again, ''[[Rogue Galaxy]]''. In just four short years, Level-5 went from small startup studio to one of the premier RPG developers in Japan, and have enjoyed immense critical and commercial success. Soon it started publishing its own titles in Japan (notably their best-selling ''[[Professor Layton]]'' and ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'' series), while still being chums with Sony (''[[Jeanne D 'Arc]]'', ''[[White Knight Chronicles]]'').
 
Future projects include (besides more sequels for some of the beforementioned games):
