It's blowing my mind that Final Fantasy, one of the most Japanese of 'Japanese Role Playing Games' was programmed by Iranian-born Nasir Gebelli, who left Iran to avoid the 1979 revolution.
Studied programming in the US, and did notable work on the Apple II before being recommended to Square.
He programmed the first three Final Fantasy games and also Secret Of Mana.
What a champ.
