NP's The World Ends With You special
 
 
The World Ends With You

The World Ends With You
This month's issue of Nintendo Power has a feature on The World Ends With You, which includes new information and an interview with the game's director, Tatsuya Kando. Some of the information that surfaced the web is as follows:

· Control Neku on bottom screen with stylus - tap, slash, circle.
· Control partner on upper screen with control pad or buttons (lefty-friendly) - up/down to evade, left/right to attack.
· Card games on the top screen (i.e. Concentration and War) played by selecting the right combos when Neku's partner attacks.
· Mechanics start out simple, but build up complexity as you continue.
· You can make enemies stronger, or lower your level to add varying degrees of difficulty.
· "Over a dozen singers were hired to perform vocals for nearly every track in the game, and the end result is a high-energy melange of dance, trance and hip-hop with English, Engrish, and Japanese vocals"

- The points given in the interview with Tatsuya Kando:

· The game has been two and a half years in development.
· Most of the staff worked on Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.
· Music composed by Takeharu Ishimoto.
· Japanese songs will definitely be in the North American release.
· English songs are popular in Japan, due to that some words are "cooler" in English.
· Game is set in Shibuya because it is symbolic as the center of the youth culture, map almost identical to Shibuya in real life.
· Dual screen battles max out the hardware.
· It is known that users feel a risk when buying a new IP, unlike buying an 'established title'.
· Difficulty slider put in place so everyone could reach the end without being bored or annoyed at the difficulty; can be adjusted at any time.
· Characters level up when you have the game shut off for long periods of time. If you get bored or frustrated with the game, next time you come back to it, you find yourself stronger than before.
· Multiplayer was considered earlier in development.
· Well received in Japan, requests for a sequel.
· Tatsuya Kando is currently working on Versus XIII.

Final Fantasy CC: My Life as a King
Nintendo Power's April issue features an article on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King, and a few tidbits have surfaced the web:

· The game seems to be more like "Sim City" than an old fashion Final Fantasy game.
· The game's story takes place after the events of the original Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

The Crystal Bearers has not been cancelled says Mitsuru Kamiyama
 
 
Final Fantasy CC: The Crystal Bearers

Final Fantasy CC: The Crystal Bearers
Ring of Fates director Mitsuru Kamiyama has posted on the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles news blog and confirmed that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is not cancelled. Here's his exact quote:

"Development for both Ring of Fates and THE CRYSTAL BEARERS are proceeding smoothly!!"

» Read Mitsuru Kamiyama's post...

Update: Forum member Cammy has informed us this is a translation of an old blog post made in the Japanese Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles news blog, which means this is in no way a confirmation the title is still under development.

The game's 3D Field Lead Designer, Hisayuki Aiuchi, has also posted at the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles blog. Here's a snippet from his post:

"To be honest, personally, portable gaming systems gave me the impression of being low-tech, so my preliminary vision for the map specs were fairly cut back. Anyway, so I began with creating test models, but then something unexpected happened. Here’s how it went down..."

Inside Square Enix
 
 
Square Enix

Square Enix
IGN editor Dave McCarthy and several other western journalists were invited to Japan by Square Enix in order to have a first look on the games they plans to release, to see how it all works and fits together. Here's a snippet from the article, which we recommend you to read:

"But back to those characters, and the in-game stories that have amazed gaming audiences for the past few decades. Which comes first? The characters? Or the story? Or the game design? Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's different for each game. Here's Revenant Wings producer, Eisuke Yokoyama, for example: "For Revenant Wings we started off wanting to make a Final Fantasy game for the Nintendo DS using the stylus and featuring a battle system that would involve and revolve around the stylus. At that point we hadn't decided particularly which title it would be tied to. So for Revenant Wings' case, it began with the design of the game first, and then after Final Fantasy XII had come out and done well, it was decided that we would tie in that story to this game." And since the development of the game was turned around so quickly, very little was adjusted from the original game after the plot was decided."

Final Fantasy CC: Ring of Fates

Final Fantasy CC: Ring of Fates
Square Enix's developers have added three posts in the Crystal Chronicles news blog regarding Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates over the night. The posts are by Mitsuru Kamiyama (Director) and Emi Nago (Character Modeling Designer). Here's a snippet from Kamiyama's post:

"The opening movie was successfully completed thanks to the production company staff’s perserverance in addressing Kanzaki’s countless ultra-detailed checks and requests.

On the DS, the movie is shown on a small screen, but I’m sure you will be able to watch it as a promotional video, so please check it out if you come across it."
