Hello. What is the process for lore creation when you have guest writers such as Yasumi Matsuno for Ivalice and Yoko Taro for Nier? How much involved is Oda-san in making sure the stories they create are consistent with the lore? What are the chances of revisiting and adding stories (either as sidecontent or maybe part of MSQ) for Ivalice and later on Nier in the future? Thanks.
