More info about crystal tower
When saying Crystal Tower, the image is that it takes long. From my personal memory it was really long that I left my Famicom’s power on while I went to school (laugh). How much of that will be reproduced?
Y: Yes (laugh) you couldn’t warp out and stuff. We will have some parts we put in consideration but reason why we can talk about to “Decide to warp back by wiping” is because Final Fantasy was able to continue for 25 years. And there are generation of players who don’t know that, they will say “I can’t understand why you can’t save” but to those people old fans like myself can say “No it’s different” I think for an MMO that is the good part where any age, race, players from the world can pay.

Is it like please keep in mind that it’s going to take longer than 3 hours
Y: It’s not even 3 hours (laugh) I can’t talk about the details but there are phases and when looking at it entirely it will take a long time. It won’t be the end with just one and will be a content that will be updated to go higher and higher.

Sounds like another companies title “Druaga’s Tower”
Y: Yes (laugh) With updates it will go higher and higher so with this patch will be till here, next patch will be more... image is something like that.

I see, so the Crystal Tower itself is a large scale content. When will this be released?
Y: We are planning at the launch of FFXIV 2.0 There are many players at level 50 so for them I would like this to be the first goal.
