New Nomura Interview Dengeki PS 2008

bittermeat · 07/12/08, 02:13 AM

Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy XIII, Sigma Harmonics, Dissidia Final Fantasy, and Advent Children Complete all get name drops, but the emphasis is on KH and FFVIIACC. There will supposedly be a "big announcement" to look forward to at the DKΣ3713 event as well.

Just translated it, thanks to Final Eclipse for the interview.

Dengeki PlayStation Vol.423/Dengeki PlayStation ONLINE --- INTERVIEW WITH TETSUYA NOMURA

――First, tell us about your involvement in the DKΣ3713 event.

Nomura: I've attended the Square Enix parties many times so far, but it doesn't mean that this particular time has been decided. This year there are various circumstances, and I'm sorry to say that I am unable to attend this event. Though by the TGS in October, the visitors will have no excuse to experience something from the event because it's been adjusted on a small scale to be more intimate.

This time the advertisement staff for the games I was involved in will be holding an exhibition. Because it is not an event for the whole company, it will occur 3 times a day for two days, each meeting involving 400 people lasting 3 hours. The total of 2,400 people makes the capacity restricted.

――What is the meeting place going to be like?

Nomura: There's always an image posted on the closed theater, but this time an open image is intended to be posted in the meeting place for everyone to see. So even if you're in line for the trial play, you will be able to watch it. Since the arranged limit of 400 people in 3 hours will likely top, and the trial plays may be busy, you will have time to view the image. As for theater space, seating for about 100 is prepared.

――What will be the highlights of the DKΣ3713 event?

Nomura: Dissidia Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep will be available to try. KHBbS will be particularly cool.

――What is particularly cool about it?

Nomura: Of course it's part of the Kingdom Hearts series, but it has a new feeling. An original system is introduced and a trial level is being prepared for everyone to try at the event.

――Additionally, are there other titles available for trial play?

Nomura: Of course KH 358/2 Days will be available. You can play Sigma Harmonics too.

――What sort of things involving Final Fantasy Versus XIII will we see?

Nomura: I am devoted to Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete, and the picture team has no time to spare just now. The FFXIII team is focused on the technical points, while FF Versus XIII's team has very few people. For that reason, it's not ready to be presented in it's current condition.

――What can we expect for ACC's progress?

Nomura: For the most part, it's almost finished, but additional scenarios need further modification, they always seem to be increasing...

――Is it becoming a good volume?

Nomura: Because I am remaking it, I think it will be a good volume. The selling period will decide that. After seeing it, I hope that a new impression will be left and give the viewers something to think about.

――With that notion, does ACC have any announcements?

Nomura: The release date will be announced. There is also a big announcement elsewhere, please look forward to it.

――By the way, what are the plans for TGS in October?

Nomura: If one doesn't obtain a ticket this time, then follow TGS. Please think of this event as a precedence to the edition at TGS.

If anything i think a plethora of KH info is coming at TGS 08 now.

Audo · 07/12/08, 02:23 AM

Did he say that there will be trailers playing for the KH games in the booth as well as the closed theatre?

I lost it?

lol. I just wanted clarification that I understood correctly. Hopefully someone will record them then.
Big announcement? I hope it's a release date for Coded/358 though, I bet it will have something to do with FF v.v

Nomura lost it. Why would he have a closed theatre if he's just going to play the trailers right outside the door?

Why would he play a trailer on a smaller screen and give the other one an entire theatre?

Because the theatre is for the people who aren't waiting in line to play one of the games?

Assuming things like that can be a bad thing.
