Sakaguchi Talks Philosophies
Wednesday afternoon, we had an opportunity to sit down with Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of Final Fantasy and founder of MistWalker. Though concrete details about MistWalker's upcoming projects were scarce, Sakaguchi was happy to explain some of the philosophies behind MistWalker's development -- as well as reveal a few small pieces of new information.
First, Sakaguchi talked about the manga-styled Blue Dragon, with its character designs by Dragon Ball Z artist Akira Toriyama. Sakaguchi confirmed that it would be a non-linear turn-based RPG, but added that he hoped to have a "new system" and "new feeling" to differentiate it from those already on the market.
When asked why he chose to develop for Xbox 360, Sakaguchi praised the system's sheer processing muscle, but stressed that the support and easy development environment Microsoft provided was the most important factor in his choice.
Lost Odyssey, with character designs by Slam Dunk and Vagabond writer Takehiko Inoue, was brought up next. The main character of Lost Odyssey is a 1000-year-old-man in a world where the industrial revolution and magical power arrived side-by-side. The protagonist has 1000 years of memories, including wars, families, and past lovers. Sakaguchi feels that this scenario will allow him to explore settings and emotions not normally associated with RPGs He also confirmed that Lost Odyssey will have more playable characters.
Both games have a Japanese style and manga-influenced characters, but Sakaguchi rightfully doesn't see this as any barrier to success in the states. Though Lost Odyssey skews older than Blue Dragon, both games have a universal appeal -- and besides, manga and anime are nearly as popular in the States as they are in Japan.
To that end, Sakaguchi confirmed that Toriyama studios would produce a Blue Dragon manga to accompany the game. The manga will be serialized in Japanese magazine Shonen Jump, but will definitely be published in the U.S. and Europe as well. Though a game with Toriyama-designed characters is guaranteed to make a splash in Japan, one with an accompanying manga series will make an even stronger impression.
Sakaguchi mentioned how happy he was to be working with Uematsu again. He considers music to have a strong role in any RPG, but Uematsu's music in particular to have a "strong melody line" that drives the emotions. Finally, Sakaguchi spoke about Xbox 360's online functionality. Though both Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey are primarily single-player RPGs, Sakaguchi would love to take advantage of Xbox 360's online functions -- not with these two games, but with another. He would definitely want to create an MMO-style game in the vein of Final Fantasy XI, and not simply a small party-based matchmaking service like Phantasy Star Online. "Maybe Blue Dragon Online?" he joked. Both games are expected to arrive "close to launch" -- maybe as soon as the end of the year.

Ach Halo 2 ist doch was tolles... nicht nur das wir das geniale Matchmaking von Halo 2 in Zukunft viel öfter sehen werden, durch die sehr starken Verkaufszahlen des Halo 2 OSTs wird wohl in Zukunft jeder große MS Titel einen Soundtrack spendiert bekommen.
Hier schonmal eine Liste:
Perfect Dark Zero
Kameo
Conkers Bad Fur Day
Advent Rising
Alle natürlich bei Sumthing Else, die auch schon den Halo 2 OST vertrieben haben.

Wenn ihr schon auf der Seite seid guckt euch doch das Behind the Scenes Video zum Halo 2 Soundtrack an, Steve Vai muss man einfach mal in Action gesehen haben.

IGN in einem Interview mit Shane Kim
IGN: [...] Are these games being shown at only 20% to 30% of the Xbox 360's capacity? Are they running on the Xbox 360 graphics chip? And Peter was saying that the games shown at the conference, for the most part, were in-game generated using the latest dev kits, and are PC based, and using a PC-based graphics chip. So, can you tell us about where these games visually are now, versus where they'll be at launch?
Shane: I think a safer approximation is that we're probably at 25% of the power of that we'll really be. I think as we progress in the hardware, you'll see a tremendous improvement in terms of graphical fidelity. And I think from a development standpoint, we've been using the time very wisely because we haven't been trying to make the games look as great as possible necessarily on the hardware development kits that we have today. We've been really working hard on things like gameplay, things that we really push now. So, visually? Probably 25% of where we can be.
IGN: That's a huge gap.
Shane: Yes, it's a huge difference. Things that you saw, and I'll use another first-party title as an example, Project Gotham Racing 3, I think that gives you an indication of a visual bar that we're aspiring to. I mean, we wouldn't have shown that if we didn't believe that was absolutely reachable. And that is clearly a next-generation game from our perspective. So, different titles, different teams are taking different approaches to their development. For Perfect Dark Zero, because it's very ambitious from many fronts, it's also got a deep spectator mode sport, for example, we've worked on the hard things now, and we know that the graphics will come along.

Leider gibts es bislang nur 3 Spiele für die XBOX 360 die mich wirklich reizen.
-Perfect Dark Zero
-Lost Odissey
-Dead Rising
Irgendwie ist mir das aber noch zu wenig. Es gibt zwar noch ein paar andere Spiele wie zB Fullauto, Kameo oder [eM] -eNCHANT arM-, welche mich reizen. Naja hoffentlich bringen die ganzen Publisher welche ihr Unterstützung zugesagt haben, noch ein paar richtig gute Burner Spiele.

Ist echt kaum zu fassen was für einen riesen Haufen Rollenspiele sich MS da an Land gezogen hat!
Die muss man mal alle irgendwie aufzählen:
Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon
99 Nights
[eM] -eNCHANT arM- (So ein BESCHISSENER Name)
Final Fantasy XI
TES IV: Oblivion
Jade Empire 2
Bioware RPG
Fable 2
Too Human 1-3 (Ist doch ein RPG oder nicht?)
Das beste ist das alle grün markierten davon Launchspiele sind. Das nenne ich mal ein Spielelineup, ich würde mir die am liebsten alle holen.

- Shadowrun befindet sich bei MS in Entwicklung.
- Es soll demnächst enthüllt werden und im 2. Quartal 2006 erscheinen.
- Es wird vom übrigegebliebenen FASA Team entwickelt*.
- Es soll sich um eine Trilogie handeln.
- Der Designer soll mal etwas mit Bungie zu tun gehabt haben (Kann AFAIK nicht sein).
*Das Crimson Skies Team wurde restlos entsorgt (gefeuert).
