The men behind Final Fantasy

На Деструктоиде аффтар настолько глубоко влез в очко к тандему из жалкого недомужика и его жабоподобного протектора, что я не удержался и откомментил даже. Хуй с ним, там в интервью - настоящий парад жира.

Китасе: "I don't think our relationship has changed over the years so much, but through the production of XIII-2, there were some changes I noticed about Toriyama-san. Things are different from the way we were making games 10 years ago. Now, Toriyama-san is more open to new ideas and also taking inspiration from the Western industry on how to make games."

Во-первых, уууу, "наши отношения" <3
Во-вторых, мы знаем, как Торияма учится у Запада - у него Tomb Raider и Hitman - RPG. Тут еще про это будет.


Китасе: "Yes, obviously Chrono Trigger tackled the same subject. This is a quite popular subject that has been employed by films and other media as well. The Final Fantasy franchise has never dealt with this theme, so we wanted to express an original take on it -- different from how Chrono Trigger expressed it."

Ни одна финалка. Really? Как насчет Ring of Fates? FFXI? Или, например, FFVIII, которую сам же Китасе и делал? Или, например, первой, сука, части?



Вопрос: "Right now, do you think Eastern gamers are more accepting of Western games than Western gamers are of Eastern games?"
Торияма: "We are in the era of high definition consoles, and graphics are expected to be a lot better and more real, so I think Western gamers in general prefer games with realistic visuals. I think we have always been quite proud of the visuals we have achieved and the high quality of visuals in our works. In that sense, I think Square Enix has always been keeping up with the visual direction the world is wanting, so we have given what Western gamers want, in that extent. Other Oriental publishers may not have achieved that all the time, so that makes me think Western gamers are put off by these games these days."

Это в продолжение темы о Торияму и Западе. У него,значит, спрашивают об отношении японских геймеров к западным играм и западных геймеров к японским играм, и что он отвечает? "Hurr durrr, у нас граааааааааафека, на западе любят грааааафеку, у нас она есть, а у других неееет, гыыыыыы". Пиздец.


Вопрос: "I was wondering if you have a favorite victory dance throughout the series?"
Торияма: "I like Serah's in XIII-2 because her victory pose involves a moogle. It's quite cute and charming."
Китасе: "This isn't necessarily my favorite but it stands out in my memory ... Tifa from FFVII. Prior to that time, there were very rough expressions on the characters. This kind of detailed expression was only possible at this time, so it was very exciting to see."

Тифа, которая не делает ничего, только выпячивает сиськи вперёд.
Сера, которая ээээ... инволвит мугла. Кавайно. Теперь уже точно нет никаких сомнений, что Мотя просто захотел сделать фанфик про своего любимого персонажа тринашки.

Примерно этим Торияма занимается на работе.

PS: Заголовок, кстати, там крутой. The men behind Final Fantasy. Это типа, the men who got behind Final Fantasy after it dropped its soap.
