IGN have given us their own summary of the interviews with Toriyama and Nomura printed in both Dengeki and Famitsu magazine so everyone can stop trying to learn Japanese. One of the biggest updates is FFXIII Directors Motome Toriyama's promise to get the game to us "as soon as possible" in celebration of this years 20th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series. Here's the rest of the information IGN has provided for us.
Final Fantasy XIII
According to Toriyama the opening to FFXIII will be the most intense we've seen in a Final Fantasy to date. There will be a real-time battle in the opening that is supposed to be more exciting than what we've seen in the trailers so far.
People's biggest fear in Cocoon is the people from Pulse. They believe people will try and destroy the city by making it fall from the sky. People feared to be powerful enough to do this are deported.
Nomura says our new blonde heroine is a big guy, a very big guy. He's apparently strong enough to run while carrying two people and we finally found out that the random 33cm's in the translated article is his shoe size.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Nomura says that the fighting in Versus takes full advantage of the PS3 by allowing us to fight in areas with big differences in height. It will also mean that players have to take advantage of the environment they're fighting in.
It's now confirmed you can teleport to the location of a weapon you've thrown. This ability is currently being tested by the Versus team.
The lonely hero fighting by his self apparently won't be alone throughout the game. You will be fighting in a party in a similar style to the party system in Kingdom Hearts.
Nomura also mentioned that Versus will be using the functions of the SIXAXIS controller in gameplay but he didn't go into any specifics.
Versus is also currently behind XIII in development so it will most likely be the last one released out of the compilation titles announced so far. However he does have ideas for a new trailer which will be "extremely cool"
