That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all.AceBandage said:It'll be a mix of Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy.
Yeah I agree it could mean a number of things, except the fact that when the term real time is used when talking about RPGs it usually has to do with the combat system.cosmicblizzard said:Real time can mean anything. ATB is technically real time. Besides, hasn't he said it's real time before?
We'll just have to wait and see what he means.

duckroll said:Why would I need one?
Usually when duckroll doesn't translate something, it's because it pretty much has no useful information.cosmicblizzard said:Could you tell us the general gist of the column? Does it mention anything about gameplay?

duckroll said:No, it doesn't. It's just the director and producer talking about Ruri Island, which is the setting for the game. The director talks about how the continent is surrounded by mountain ranges and the only accessible point being that island port. As such it is heavily fortified and a major point of defense. It sounds like the ruler of the island carries certain ambitions and seeks magic as a resource to rise in power.
Somehow even though the entire empire is suffering poverty and decay, the town of Ruri remains prosperous. It's implied that the source of the town's wealth is related to magic, and there's a strange power in it which begins to attract monsters towards it, and the fate of the island is soon to be changed forever.
The world of The Last Story is supposed to be one where metal resources are scarce, and Sakaguchi is trying to limit the amount of sci-fi influence on the world setting, and he wants players to be able to enjoy a smooth experience of exploring around Ruri Island, a place bathed in the abundance of radiant sunlight.
