• Sakaguchi expects the game, which will reportedly be around 40 hours long, to have equal parts games scenes (including battles) and event scenes (including movies)
• Lost Odyssey will start out with Kaim arriving in a city. Players will then explore the city, get Seth and Yansen to join their party and then head up a mountain (as shown in the demo presented during Microsoft's pre-TGS press conference) to enter the game's first dungeon
• Kaim won't actually be learning new skills. He recalls them instead (he's been around so long he's forgotten quite a few things). The skills and moves Kaim "recalls" throughout the course of the game will depend on what accessories he has equipped
• The 1000 Year Dream sequences will have 34 passages in all, each taking around 5 to 10 minutes to read. All of the passages were written by award-winning author Kiyoshi Shigematsu. These sequences will be seen whenever Kaim's memories are triggered by certain key events
• A book form of the 1000 Year Dream sequences is planned for release, and the book may precede the game's December 6 Japanese release
• A demo event is coming some time before the game's Japanese release
