Final Fantasy XV

About meteor. People in Lestallum live their life using meteor. Does the meteor a specific thing in the FFXV world?
Tabata-san:
The meteor part won’t be dug deeper in the journey of Noct and his retinue. The meteor is the history. It’s the thing from the genesis era. There’s a background story for the meteor, but I think it’s not something we should write in the main story.


What happened to the car radio thing? Is there any new information?
No worries, we’ve been considering that. There are two things we’ve been thinking. The one is to make it possible to listen to your own music choices in the game. The other one is to make it possible to listen to the music Square Enix has copyright. The latter is under arrangement. The former has the issue that the understanding of the law differs from region to region, and is still under discussion. It’s possible in Japan and in the USA, but the law in European countries is really strict. Should we except Europe, or should we forget this idea… Including the global policy of FFXV, it’s still under consideration.


What about the theme song like in FFX-2?
Ah, the hype in the stage was so high that I couldn’t say no at that time. That kind of theme song doesn’t fit in the FFXV world, so there won’t be. Speaking of which, the stage was relatively calm when I asked whether moogle be in FFXV or not. There won’t be moogle in the game. Haha.


I thought a number of people said yay by clapping their hands. Why don’t you ask on twitter using the number of RT and the like?
Ah, that’d be nice. I’ll bring this back to the team.


About the arrange music for the main theme of FF. How’s that?
Of course I’ve already asked Shimomura-san to compose the arrange music of FF main theme. I myself want to hear it. Still, it seems that the pressure from the audience at that time was so huge that Shimomura-san hasn’t started yet. Haha. It’s completely understandable since it is the main theme of Final Fantasy we’re talking about. She is well aware that the quality should be not just great but be fantastic. All I can do is wait, and so does she, I guess, until something brilliant comes down to her. Other music such as chocobo theme are coming up in a good pace.


How about the technical tie-up with Avalanche Studios?
The director is in Japan since it’s TGS week, and we have begun the discussion about the details of how we should proceed the tie-up. We told them that we’d like to know how the elements in Just Cause 3 are based on what kind of technology. They asked “you like explosion?” and we burst into laughter. Yes, we know they’re good at expressing the explosion. We, of course, concluded “no explosion.” We are both busy, and we have just started discussing the details.


About fishing. We confirmed that the size and weight of the fish Noct caught were displayed on the screen. Is it one of the element of collection?
Yes. You can keep the record of the size and weight of fish. You may enjoy seeking bigger fish in the game.


How much big is it going to be?
Depends on the location, but I guess it’s 1 m at the maximum.


Can we go fishing in the sea?
Fishing in the sea hasn’t included yet. But you take boat to go to places, so it would be nice to have sea fishing.
Speaking of fishing, there’s no concept of level up for fishing. The key is the action and how you handle the rod and lures. It’s like in the real world, efforts are required to catch fish since how they fight against a fisher is different from one by one.


Can we stock fish and eat them at the camp like we do with Garula sirloin?
Yes. You use Regalia to stock foodstuffs and tools. When you catch a new kind of fish, the recipe of the meal increases. The characters request “we wanna have this dish for the dinner” and Ignis will do the rest.


And with that process Ignis’s recipe increases. It’s a special element for Ignis. How about others?
For Prompto, it’s taking photos. Prompto started taking pictures after a certain event happened, thinking that they should record their journey. Photos taken by Prompto are the ones that captures your gameplay, and you can check it anytime and upload it to SNS. It’s not just the game design. This photo system is deeply connected to the characters, their actions, and the story itself.


So Gladio has something as well.
FFXV has been tied-up with Coleman. This comes from the fact that Gladio love outdoor activities and he’s a big fan of Coleman ever since he was a small child. He collects Coleman stuffs. The others know this very much, and they use Gladio’s collection during the journey. Besides that, Gladio loves battles. He devotes himself in researching on various techniques. He’ll suggest crosslinks and you’ll be able to render new crosslinks.


Battle doesn’t happen while riding on chocobo?
Battle happens. You have to get off from chocobos for the battle. If your chocobo’s mental is weak, a battle happens and chocobos run away.



Mental strength?
It depends on the greens you gave to chocobo the night before the ride. If you give them high quality greens, you don’t need to be in a battle. But if you give them greens with no specific buff included, then chocobos may run away leaving you in a battle.


So not only jump and speed are enhanced by greens, but that battle thing is included in the buff as well. What about black chocobos? Can we call them by a whistle?
Honestly speaking, black chocobos run around the field but it’s not confirmed yet whether you can ride on black chocobos or not. Black chocobos are wild chocobos. They are rough by nature and they look wild as well. If we were to make it possible to ride on a black chocobo, it wouldn’t be by renting them but buy catching them through a battle. However, whether we can make it possible is still uncertain.


We may need lots of money to rent chocobos or paying for gas.
It’s not fun if you have plenty of money during the journey! We should struggle financially a bit. We want weapons but are well short of money, so we have to take quest and do some part time job. That kind of aspects color the journey and give you good memories. If you have plenty of money and items, the game wouldn’t be fun at all. Haha.


The concept art
http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/089/294/55fa11f92d32e.html
Could you explain a bit more on this art?
Matsuzawa-san
This art depicts the strength of Luna. She looks serious, and it’s not because she’s surrounded by soldiers. Her eyes are on future that awaits her, and that is the reason of her facial expression. She doesn’t care about the current situation, and she’s able to brush aside guns with a mere hand.
That implies that the future will be unbelievably tough and difficult to go through.


Could we ask about Gentiana?
Tabata-san:
Well, she’s standing off to Luna, and she’s not just an assistant of Luna. She herself is a special person as well.


Luna is the oracle and she uses her power to cleanse the world. From what she protects the world?
Luna is trying to prevent [could be “mitigate”] “the plague of the star” [ref. NOVA CRYSTALLIS -san] to go further. In the FFXV world, due to the plague of the star, the night is getting longer as the day goes by. She prevents [could be “mitigates”] the star to further go to the darkness.


Does that influence the game system as well?
Yes. The night in the game system gets longer as the story goes on. The title of the trailer “Dawn” is the key word that has very important meaning to the FFXV world.


One of the dogs on the concept art of childhood Noct and Luna is the messenger dog, right?
Yes. But it’s not a special messenger to Noct. [I think this means that the dog may deliver a message to other people as well.] Besides, the dogs are supposed to protect Luna. It’d be nice to consider them as assistants like Gentiana. Last but not least, the white dog will also be in the game.


It seems that Noct once suffered massive injuries. Is it based on the information that he nearly died in his childhood?
That is correct. Due to the injuries, Noct and Luna spent some time together, and made a promise before the goodbye. Long after that they got engaged, but the promise they made has nothing to do with the engagement.


You said Luna also fights. Can we play her or she’d be a guest of the party?
As the guest she fights against enemies with players. She’s not like one of the buddies while Cor is like that. It’s like players involve in the fight of Luna.


Would airship be in the game or as DLC?
It would be as DLC so far. In that case, we’ll provide as free DLC as I mentioned in the ATR.


You also said that Gilgamesh may be provided through DLC. We expects that it has some story.
Possible. After enjoying FFXV, some users may seek more to know FFXV deeper, and we’d like to prepare the contents that helps them to play and stay in the game longer. Gilgamesh would be a good choice.


There are lots of VR games at this TGS and other events. Are you personally interested in VR?
People in the development team of FFXV are all interested in VR. Each of us has his/her own agenda, and they do technical research as well. We tried to make the technical demo “Witch,” which has been developed by the second business division, to be seen with VR. Actually, we tried to convert FFXV into VR, but we got 3D sick in the battle and canceled the trial. Haha. We’d like to seek what we can do by trials and errors.


Could you give users a message?
The release date will be released in March. Besides that, we’d like to make it clear what the tech-demo would be such as its official name and the spec. Furthermore, we plan to release what you could never expect. I think it’s going to be a huge impact.
Other than Coleman, there’s tie-ups that have strong connection to the FFXV world and the system. You may feel that the world of FFXV is close to our own world. We’d like to make the journey and the experience along with it in FFXV richer. Please count on that.

He llegado hasta el final de la cueva y matado a todo ser de dicha cueva, el problema viene cuando te acercas al arbol que no salta la escena ni me deja darle a la X por mas que me acerco.

Apague la consola sin guardar por lo que pudiera pasar.

A alguien le ha pasado o es un error comun?

Intentare luego pasarme la cueva de nuevo por si ahora tengo mas suerte.
