now that we see how MistWalker publish their Asian release of BD, i wonder how they'll handle LO.
NTSC/J NTSC/UC and PAL covers around 8 different languages. Is LO worldwide simultaneous release still possible or just a pipe-dream for the development team??

erm, more & more info & previews rgd this game is coming out,

but most interestingly is this interview with the prez of FP+ (link C+P from neogaf

)

http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20070507...ffield_01.shtml

go read it

its very interesting (not only abt the game)

some choice quotes rgd the game

QUOTE

It's 120 people, so a lot of things happen.

Gamasutra: Do you have any examples of things you needed to cut?

RN: We had 400 levels we had to make, so some had to be cut to make others better. Characters are fine. We've got about 300 characters. There's a little more than seven hours of real-time cutscenes. We determine priority: there are A Cutscenes, B Cutscenes, and C Cutscenes. There were too many A Cutscenes - the ones where we make them really good. We had to reduce the number of A Cutscenes and make more B Cutscenes.

Gamasutra: Are they all real-time?

RN: Out of those seven hours, one hour is prerendered, and six hours are real-time. They don't really look different, though, it's almost the same. The prerendered scenes are for better lighting and for more visual effects like explosions or when a tower falls down. We needed prerendering for those scenes, but characters look almost the same.

..............................

Gamasutra: How closely involved is Sakaguchi with the Lost Odyssey development?

RN: Pretty close. It was very close when we were starting up the project. There was a Mistwalker office - which is a really small company, so it's basically just Sakaguchi. It's like the Sakaguchi office. It's like three or four people in that office. So we rented a big space next to Mistwalker for about ten people.

...................

Gamasutra: I've been hoping that, on the Square-Enix side, we'll hear from (Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy XII original director) Yasumi Matsuno again. Maybe you should hire him!

RN: Yeah...but Sakaguchi is talking to him now, so I don't know. He also started his own stuff.

so, stuff we know

1. fixed camera angle
2. during battles, the formation/position of the party is important
3. only 1 hrs worth of CGI, so maybe dont need more than 3 dvds

4. alot of the key persons on the dev team also made different, different jrpgs from different companies b4
5. the full credits for the game will encompass >100 ppl
6. w/o MS japan, sakaguchi would most probably still sitting in his one-man office, looking for deep pocket investors

p/s: i wonder if sakaguchi can help matsuno realise his next great project

Added on

p/p/s: SE also recently announce they'll do a UE3 multiplatform jrpg, keep an eye out for the "The Last Remnant", media should be coming soon

just watch the E3 trailer. somehow, i feel there's something "off" with the 3D models and the lighting. maybe still work in progress, eh?

looks kinda similar to [eM], now that i think of it

we get a scene of a little girl jumping off a cliff here too. LoL, Polka-copycats FTW.

yes, NTSC/J Asia - Jan'08 (English language - voice acting and lip-synched, text)

with 4 DVDs, they may include other language support (CHI/KOR/JPN/etc)

some tidbits of the famitsu xbox360 review

QUOTE

- battle tempo is extremely agreeable
- boss fights are tough but if you polish your tactics, they are fun
- Kaim's existence in the story is, according to Shigematsu's writing, very deep and well crafted. A virtuous story, as Sakaguchi also said
- event scenes progress with beautiful graphics, impressive
- battles have a noticeable effect on your characters, which develop in an enjoyable way
- it's a good RPG for adults to play and take lots of time playing through
- scenario is very "bitter"
- 4 DVDs with amazing video and beautiful music
- it's a shame about frequent loading and the poor lip-syncing

(everything is lip-synced to the English voicework, unfortunately)

Asian version is coming in January!!
