Check out this in-depth video interview on Final Fantasy XIII that took place at the GamesCom 2009 Conference.
In the interview the developers discuss a whole range of topics regarding FFXIII. In addition to being able to hear the English voice overs, they discuss:
* The city of Cacoon.
* What part Crystals play in Final Fantasy XIII.
* The Paradigm Shift and Roles System. Which is kind of like the “Jobs” of Final Fantasy game’s past, but allow you to switch “roles”/classes within the span of a single battle.
* The False Seed and the “Chosen Ones”.
* The Mission System and how they are received as Visions.
* The Final Fantasy 13 character Serah . . . FFXIII’s answer to the “cute” Yuffie, Selphie, Eiko and Rikku-style characters of past games (from left, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy X).
* How the Battle Ranking System and TP (Tactical Points) work
* How you use TP to call upon Summons . . .
* Why there won’t be a Japanese voice over option in America.
* And the possibility of a FFXIII downloadable demo.
And much, much more. The interview is in two parts, watch it below.
