Final Fantasy XIII Interview Scan 1

Built for it's great existence, a "shell" stays afloat in Heaven
which encompasses a closed society, called Cocoon.
There, protected by the enormous machines and living beings
invented by the Crystal, the city fluorishes.
In the midst of a time of long lasting peace,
the inhabitants of Cocoon feared the "outsiders".
Outside of the shell, the underworld Pulse awakens,
and the invisible invaders frightens the people.
Slowly, people started suspecting each other,
and started harboring hatred for one another.
The "Holy Goverment", wishing for the peace of Cocoon,
took emergency countermeasures.
Suspicous people and those who have been influenced by the "outsiders"
were apprehended, announcing their forced migration to the underworld Pulse.
People were in virtual banishments, but awaiting for the truth to come was more ruthless than being banished.
Also as a symbol of peace, the Crystal chose people,
determined their fate, and with that intention, led the world.

And then, she was chosen.

As the enemy of mankind who will destroy the world,
she never speaks of herself, only referring to herself as "Lightning".

Interview from Famitsu:

[A Crystal that Invents -- FF XIII]

Katou:What kind of place is "Cocoon"? Are the streets in the trailer part of Cocoon?
Toriyama: Yes. That is a part of the world protected by the Crystal. Cocoon is a space for the Crystal to invent many things that make life easier for its inhabitants.

Katou: What exactly does the Crystal invent?
Toriyama: The Crystal invents things like machines for the people to use, produces living beings and raises them, amongst many other things. The Crystal closely looks after its people's livelihood.

Katou: I understand the "closed" part, but am I right to say that Cocoon created itself and is progressively growing, while self-containing a closed-off society on its own?
Toriyama: It's an isolated space, but not completely. Outside of Cocoon is the underworld called Pulse. Pulse is a world filled with the monster's menace. First there was Pulse, then the Crystal thought "If humans were to live in this world, what kind of environment would be suitable for humans to live in?" The Crystal created Cocoon as the answer to that question.

Katou: So you're saying, that anything outside of Cocoon is considered Pulse? Is it dangerous to go outside?
Toriyama: That is correct. That is how the inhabitants of Cocoon percieve the outside world.

Aizawa: Earlier when the words "protected by the Crystal," "invents things", etc. arose, meant that the Crystal itself is personified by having conscious thought. Is that how the Crystals are like in FFXIII?
Toriyama: Yes, it's different from the Crystals we've had so far that only possessed magical powers. Changing the forumula a bit with Fabula Nova Crystallis, the crystals in FFXIII have the ability to invent things.

Aizawa: In the latest trailer there was an enormous thing being hanged and got blown up. Is that also something invented by the Crystal?
Toriyama: Correct. That is also something invented by the Crystal. It's one of the "outsiders", which has a name, but we can't reveal that yet.

Katou: The outsiders are...?
Toriyama: "Outside" refers to the underworld Pulse. Basically, things that came from Pulse or invented by Pulse's Crystal, or anything that does not belong within Cocoon, are referred to as "outsiders". A Crystal exists in Pulse as well, complementing the things within Cocoon.

Katou: There are different types of Crystals as well?
Toriyama: Yes, there are. Those who've been influenced by the "outsiders" are quarantined by the "Holy Government". The ones in shackles and wearing prison uniformers seen in the trailer are the ones currently being deported.

Katou: I get it! So the trailer shown this time completes the E3 trailer by filling in the front and back of it. Now we're able to see bits and pieces of the prologue.
Toriyama: With the E3 trailer, we focused on wowing the audience, but this time we decided to introduce the story a little. We inserted a long narration so that people can have an idea of what kind of a person our heroine is, and in what way does she live and breathe in this world.

Aizawa: Let's settle this once and for all. Is "Lightning" her name?
Toriyama: It is not her name. She refers to herself as "Lightning", and is called by that by others. We don't want to reveal her real name because you will find that out in the game. So please look forward to that.

Aizawa: We really want to know though, but all we can do is wait (laughs).
Toriyama: That's because we finally started to introduce the story (laughs). Please use future trailers and the trailer shown this time to your imagination in how we will incorporate them into the game. Look forward to it.


Final Fantasy XIII Interview 2 with Gemanga

[FF13] As for battle planner in the Tsuchida of FF10.

* As for the reason which appoints Tsuchida as the battle planner? *

North shoal: With the next generation machine, as a designer it stops wanting to stuff that and this. You drop that into actual specification well and you have expected to the professional place of Tsuchida's who keeps being packed.

Mt. Toriyama: The battle planner was requested to Tsuchida again in the edge of FF10.

Tsuchida: This time from first with gbeing speedy, the assignment has appeared to lively developmenth.

Mt. Toriyama: It makes the party kind of battle where you can feel the feeling of the raw body of the character and order does and increases. Without removing the role with respect to scenario of each [kiyara], we want appearing in the battle, it is.

* As for battle itself [enkaunto] system? *

Tsuchida: We would like to make the feeling which just a little is different. The enemy facing, it does not mean, start, with FF13 it starts from the place that gthe [a], the enemy ish.

¡FF12 like? *

Tsuchida: Like this when you do, it can make profitable state, it is it is not whether with, with the process which reaches to battle, is the user that we would like to try it can create circumstance. Until now when it is fast thinking we would like to acquire the feature other than fighting to the monster that be no other choice but to the expression that, you use magic, more it increases.

North shoal: The organization chart of the soldier, thinking of the setting of the extent which the soldier one by one can make episode, it increases, don't you think?.

Tsuchida: Setting the ecosystem and quality of the monster every location, when that thought ability and having feeling are necessary, there are also times when it is not the monster.

* There is also a job and an ability? *

Tsuchida: You cannot say yet, it is, but because interest of growth is the important element of the series, thinking of kind of those which you can enjoy properly, it increases.

* Concerning the youth of the fair-hair *

Mt. Toriyama: Actually, the party agreeing uniting, is not a story that, the world is rescued, without understanding, whether it is with, even in such sense the enemy, whether friend it does. (Him weak point lightning?)

Nomura: Being wild even character, it is exciting. Afterwards, you think that it becomes clear, but it is dense considerably does strange fight, it is.

By the way, with FF13 it means that the partner impression of [kiyara] is strong, e.g., [shivua] becomes the motorcycle, but that the other summons animal is similar.

Please teach the feel of ¡FF13 development *

North shoal: With FF13 using the white engine, until now it constructs the environment for software development which is not. If it can keep also the game which is made after FF13 using that engine with thinking, because it is about the [ru], that much you have suffered hardship, it is, but if this is gotten over, you think that it reaches the point where it can do rather good ones.

Tsuchida: Evolution of visual and, such it was not, don't you think? thinking, that those where new play where with you say is connected cleanly are your own work because the [ru], we would like to take the balance skillfully.
