Sakaguchi talks about Lost Odyssey, FF, possibility of working with Amano

Wired Life managed to snag a short interview with games producer Hironobu Sakaguchi during the Lost Odyssey E3 2007 presentation. The Final Fantasy creator talked about some particulars about his Mistwalker Studio's latest opus, Lost Odyssey, as well as the direction his well-renowned Final Fantasy series is taking in its quest to conquer next-gen consoles. Wired asked Sakaguchi about what made Lost Odyssey different from Blue Dragon, another one of his projects. He answered,

The world is different -- in Blue Dragon the characters are designed by [Akira] Toriyama, so the style is adjusted to his work. In this one, it's designed by [Takehiko] Inoue, so the taste is more realistic and the story itself is deeper and heavier. And the theme is more humanistic.

Sakaguchi also delves into the reason why he chose to adapt a turn-based game engine on a next-gen console game, where he can put to use the more spontaneous and modern real-time based battle system.

There are pros and cons for both sides, whether it's turn-based or action-oriented video games. For this theme and this design, turn-based is better than action-oriented, so I chose that. I'm trying to evolve turn-based games to the next generation.

Judging by the whole slew of trailers out for Lost Odyssey, Sakaguchi was right in making the action for Lost Odyssey turn-based. With its old school game system mixed with such deliciously rich HD graphics, Mistwalker's newest title is sure to draw a following from both veteran and newer players alike.

One of the more interesting highlights in the interview, however, is Sakaguchi's off-hand mention of the possibility that Yoshitaka Amano, the first Final Fantasy character designer (and still designing all Final Fantasy logos) will work alongside Sakaguchi and his game designing company, Mistwalker.

You may recall seeing a medieval-style art in the earlier Final Fantasy titles, such as Final Fantasy VI. Those are drawn by Yoshitaka Amano, who also created the ethereal Vampire Hunter D.

It will be quite interesting to see an FF installment featuring Amano's uniquely medieval designs in the future, and it's a good thing that it may become more than a possibility. Stay tuned here at QJ as we get more updates!

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://xrl.us/2z4h you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.

Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,

I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,

but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.

Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.

Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"

There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

[NO AGE REQUIREMENT, NO CREDIT CARD, NO DETAILED INFORMATION, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE A SINGLE PENNY!]
