GE: Do you have any updates for us regarding the Gold Saucer? We heard you wanted to get a few activities in and that it would be sometime after 2.3.
Yoshida: It’s still going to be sometime after 2.3. However what’s going into the Gold Saucer has already been finalized. We have the artwork up and we believe that once we’re able to show the artwork that the players will be pleasantly surprised. Everything is ready to go to start production and we hope to have it released soon, but again it will be after 2.3.
And we’re not limiting ourselves to what was in FF7, we’re going to use the whole Final Fantasy knowledge base and hopefully get a lot of different type of mini games that you’ve seen in other titles as well as FFVII.

GE: We know there will be a new zone released with Frontline. Can we expect to see anew new field areas before the expansion?
Yoshida: We are not planning on any new areas beyond the one for Frontline. One of the main reasons for this is that when you add a completely new area you need to have enough content to put into that area, and it is very difficult for a whole area to put in that content. However, if you call Gold Saucer a new area then you could say yes, we will be adding a new area. It’s pretty big what we have planned.
