Yoshida interview

[Xaimera]

i only have one concern and want more info on this, 2.0 cant be pushed to winter there is no more content after this. There cant be a beta for pc version unless it starts now, and when they say there will be a beta they have to be saying ps3.

The roadmap was updated from 5/28/2012 it says at the top and still says 2.0 distribution is sept - oct while ps3 goes into beta and so on. So there cannot be 2.0 coming out only in winter for pc as well. Im not sure what this game wld be like if that happenned, there will not be more content for quite a while so im curious by what yoshi-p means. if we can get more info on it i would love that.

I had a dream the other night that cocoon appeared in the sky over Thanalan...FFFFFFFF...

All the screens we've seen thus far have been from the PC version, said Yoshida. The quality will go up by about 15% from what we're seeing now.

Read this carefully. It didn't say that the quality will go up by 15% when put on higher settings. It said the quality will go up by 15% from what we're seeing now, as in, the graphics and textures are NOT finalized and are still being worked on. People are good at twisting and turning words, so read it as is, because I know a lot of people will misinterpret this already.

This is how the Forums usually is most cases:

-Get info
-Skim through info
-Misinterpret what was actually said

Happens all the time!

I'm thinking yoshida means something like how he plans to add a gold saucer like area to the game. Most likely not an exact replica. Think about the Job AF gear as well. It's not an exact replica of another FF game's iconic view of the given job but it resembles it and has similar elements to it.

Think about it like going to disney land and then going to disney world. It's not exactly the same but it feels familiar (except the castle).

[Biggs]

I hope he is referring more to elements and themes from those games rather than a literal import of the Ivalice world or *shudder* Pulse/Cocoon.

Even if it is only elements or themes, I can't think of much in FFXIII that I'd want to see in this game.

I thought the nm hunts via the gate things were pretty sweet. Thats about it folks!

Can anybody actually translate the full interview? http://www.famitsu.com/news/201206/07015922.html
Google translate sometimes makes no sense.

Not a translation, more of a summary.

Not sure if it was already mentioned here, as I didn't see it. But I laughed so hard at this part

So I won't say that there is no possibility. However, until we deliver the promised PlayStation 3 version, no matter what we say, people will ask "Seriously?" and "Uhh, how about getting that Version 2.0 running first?", so we must first concentrate on getting Version 2.0 out.

Yoshi really understands his fanbase. He can even quote our responses perfectly.

Fan Fare (is that what it is) would be pretty neat. I was just thinking the other day how random cameo's would be pretty funny. Like after you fight a primal and you click on the aether, maybe you'll accidentially be transported to the past for a cutscene, of a Frog fighting off a Wizard and getting knocked down some Falls. Then being like wft?!?! Damn you Echo.
