This is awesome and I am going to pretend that this is real no matter what the actual game throws at me.

Here is a translated Tabata interview that took place recently. I can't vouch for the translation because I am a filthy American who doesn't know any Japanese.


quote:

Q: Will the weapons have status effect on them, for example, attack or defence?
A: There will be yes.

Q: Is the theme song, 'stand by me' the same for Japan and the West?
A: We are using the same song.

Q: So, Florence and the Machine was chosen, but who else was considered?
A: There were a lot of people considered but we cant tell you who they are.

Q: Where are the moogles?
A: They are in the game, we made a reasonable way of putting them in the game.

Q: Where are the tonberries?
A: I don't think there are any tonberries in the game.

Q: When driving or flying, will there be any load screens?
A: Nope, no load screens

Q: How many summons are there going to be?
A: I cant tell you

Q: How many Final Fantasy songs are there going to be available on the radio?
A: We haven't made the final decision yet, there are quite a few

Q: Lots of different games?
A: Yes, that's right, we will try put in as many as we can

Q: How did you decide to make the car, the airship?
A: So we thought it would be a really good idea, for the car, that's your faithful companion along the whole of your journey to be the way to travel around the sky

Q: What support or advice has sakaguchi given you?
A: Since we have release of the first demo, He's told me a lot of his opinions and advice, I've been taught a few things by him. He's supported me in a lot of things actually.

Q: Who is the lady with the helmet in the Kingsglaive trailer?
A: I can't tell you, yet! Please wait a little while.

Q: Will there be a new game plus mode?
A: Yep, we have one of those.

Q: What is the title of your favourite song in the Final Fantasy 15 soundtrack?
A: I've got a favourite song from there, but it hasn't actually got a title yet, so i cant tell you what it is, I'll let you know once we have a proper title, please ask me again next time

Q: The Justice Monsters app, will that in any way connect with the game on the console
A: We are currently trying to have the rankings from both of them shared. So the idea is that you will play for a little bit at a time in the main game on the console, --'cant make out what he said' --

Q: How many copies does Final Fantasy 15 need to sell for you guys to considerate a success?
A: Over the whole lifetime, 10 million copies

Q:Will the game have a photo mode?
A: Prompto will take the photos for you.

Q: So will you be able to turn off the display and take beautiful photos to share?
A: I've had a lot of advice and talk about this, we are looking into maybe doing that, at the moment it's just Prompto, he just takes the pictures for you, of what he thinks is going to be good. We weren't aware of that issue there, so we will try find some way around that to deliver this mode we want to give to players

Q: In that second Japanese trailer, is that old guy, Cid?
A: I think that was Cid, yes

Q: Cindy's dad?
A: He's her grandfather

Q: Will there be any kind of chocobo training, for example, to jump higher in the world?
A: They probably wont be reach secret areas, but there is a system there to enchance the abilites of your chocobos, i think you have to feed them some very tasty greens, its the exactly the same as the food system, it's to make them stronger.

Wasn't that always the case? Like she's the new Cid in the Cid family but another member of the family shows up as well.


I vaguely recall them saying that she wasn't the Cid to begin with and the other relative (Grandpa) was the Cid too.

loving yes. Wind Waker was improved a million times by selfies and it was an amazing game to start with. If XV has Prompto selfies that I can actually upload places I will lose my poo poo.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

She's the Cid of the XV generation, Regis's generation had Old Man Cid as their Cid. And so lived the long line of Cids'

I cannot BELIEVE how good that game looks, holy poo poo. There is something eternally mystifying about walking around and having giant monsters fly overhead. The Chocobo next to the car was a little jarring, but I think that's because I just haven't had a good Final Fantasy with magic and technology mixing in a way too long time.

I do like that they seem to have found the nice balance between "Open world do anything!" and "We're still telling a linear story here."

Platinum Demo was a tech demo that was given to the public. "Look at all the things we have, walk around as the monsters, look at the different effects, change the day/night cycle" etc.
