This is correct. I'm not sure if he had a break down or not, but he did leave SE during the making of FF12 and went to work on another game.
I thought he left for health reasons.
a mental breakdown sounds like a pretty big health issue to me
The stress of developing the next RPG in Square's flagship series must've gotten to him, but the guy they brought in to replace him pretty much said the game was nearly finished at the time, and that its Matsuno's vision and not his.
And FFXII got a 40/40 from the Japanese mag, so you know it must be damn good.
