Gemaga interview with Nomura?

[Ikkin]

Autumn Thread from NeoGAF has some information on FFXIII from a Nomura interview in the Japanese magazine Gemaga:

This weeks Gemaga has an interview with Nomura, he mentions that before the end of the year we'll see the battle scene in FF13, blu-ray is a bonus and because of that uploading to the blu-ray discs is faster. Also, they have no immediate plans to release information on the voice acting cast.

FF Agito - The current battle interface is temporary. Shown in the latest pictures is 3 people in a party but as production moves along it will become more.

Versus - "The Goddess Etro" which was spoken of in the dialogue between Noctis and Stella is not the goddess shown in the painting drawn by Amano.

Does anyone know if that's all the interview said, or if there might be something else interesting there?

"we", means select Japanese people who will be taken to an underground bunker and shown in private before anyone gets their hope up.

Thanks for the news, though!

[Final]

Thankyou And darn I would like to be taken to that underground bunker

[Moklin]

I cant wait. I want to see it.

Thanks Ikkin!

I'm guessing they'll show this at Jump Festa? probably private, too.

[Ikkin]

You're welcome everyone.

I'm pretty sure that when they say December, they mean Jump Festa, considering they're usually pretty big there. The question is whether it'll just be a Closed Theater presentation, or if they might do some kind of presentation of the demo, which should be done by then. (Do they do that kind of thing at Jump Festa?)

If anyone's wondering what they mean by "uploading to the blu-ray disc is faster," it's actually a mistranslation, and nothing really new. Basically, they're just saying that they need to get a gold copy of the demo before the end of the year so they can print it in time, because Blu-ray printing takes longer. Since the demo's in March and Jump Festa is at the end of December, that pretty much ensures they'd have a final or semi-final copy to show if they so wished.

[Adam Blade]

From what I see... they usually release public trailers there. So, maybe the gameplay demonstration might be a public presentation? since the demo will be done by then... maybe. I wouldn't be hoping for anything until confirmation. :p

[Final]

Well, I heard someone say that they had read, that gameplay would be shown in public :O

[Adam Blade]

^If that's true then that's great. One gameplay demonstration and then the wait until march :'D

[Nemes]

I hope to see soon this informations of gameplay *___* !

Well if this is to be released to the public, I doubt that this will go to 'that' extent. And if so, there wouldn' be a need for a closed mega theatre...........if this is to be released publically.

I'll go get Gemaga tomorrow. >_>; Or at least flip through it in the store and check. XD

EDIT: Sorry, I did go and get Gemaga, but there wasn't really anything in it that I found. The "interview" was not a section in the magazine. It was just some comments Nomura made that Gemaga sprinkled throughout their whole FNC article. ;
