Yoshida's interviews around the world!

What I hope for personally is difficulty level somewhere around XIII's boss encounters and XI's NPC level cap 50 quest.

On that I agree.

Personally, my path companion has made my current main scenerio battles a little too easy, so far. But it's early in the game too, maybe higher levels will get harder. Also, perhaps in the future, some harder solo side quests and dungeons will be implimented. However, I would agree that group content needs priority right now.

Going to post this here too. One of the interviewers posted regarding the differences between Yoshida and Kitase (XIII, XIII-2):

He's really good at saying a lot whilst saying little, which is a mark of someone very practiced at the interview game.

The difference between interviewing him and Yoshida is funny, though. Kitase is a lovely, softly spoken man, but when answering, he'd look at the translator or look away. That's the norm, really. Yoshida, though, looked deep into your eyes as he explained and spoke, even in a language I understand so little of I need a translator, with absolute conviction. Yoshida is in that sense second only to Molyneux, who engages you so completely in interviews you fall into a trance and believe everything he says until you walk out and go "wait a minute.... IT IS ON RAILS!"

Interviewing the two exactly seven days apart with Arnie Roth for Distant Worlds the day after, the differences between the two were quite incredible.

Interesting. Thanks for posting that.

I assume that in the first sentence of the quote, where it says "He's really good at saying a lot whilst saying little...", the "he" refers to Kitase?
