An Interview with Yasunori Mitsuda
Posted on 15 July 2008, 11:12 am by Zadine with 0 Comments.Day one at E3 2008 is over, and after the Final Fantasy XIII madness it is time for a short break. What we have in store for you is an exclusive translation of a (very) short interview with Chrono Trigger's sound director, Yasunori Mitsuda, that was posted at last week's Famitsu issue. Enjoy!
Famitsu: How do you feel about the decision to release Chrono Trigger for the DS?
Mitsuda: When I heard about it, my first feeling was "It's about time!" (laughs) Of course it was my debut title, but even playing it now the quality is so great, there is just so much depth to it. Actually I've been wondering what today's young gamers would think about playing it. In that way, it was very happy news for me to hear.
Famitsu: Looking back on the production of the original Super Famicom version, are ther any stories or memories that stand out?
Mitsuda: Oh, I can recall more than I could count. The time I was in a slump and just couldn't come up with any material, the working in and out of the hospital while being treated for a stomach ulcer, the time my hard disk suddenly died and I lost almost 40 song sketches...ah! It sounds like I've got nothing but bad memories! (laughs) But at the end, when the whole team got together and watched the ending, I cried my eyes out (and many of the staff besides me got pretty emotional). I think, "[Chrono Trigger] really is a game overflowing with the feelings of that team."
Famitsu: Finally, please give a brief message to all our readers.
Mitsuda: I'm sure many of the readers out there have been hoping for a port of Chrono Trigger, and now that wish is finally a reality. On the DS, we've done our very best to recreate the sound of the Super Famicom original, and I'm sure you'll be happy with the result. For those playing it for the first time, and those turning back the clock to revisit it, I sincerely hope you enjoy the experience.

Posted on 15 July 2008, 11:09 am by Zadine with 0 Comments.It was already posted in the very first E3 news post, but we thought it deserved to be posted again because the direct-feed version is now available. Square Enix has released the trailer in the official Japanese Final Fantasy XIII website, and we converted the video to AVI format so everyone can watch it.
» Official FFXIII website
If you can't watch the FLV quality trailer, install FLV Player by Moyea. It is a free software that allows you to play FLV files.
GameTrailers have uploaded an English version of the trailer in a low quality that has English text, which provides a bit of an insight to the Final Fantasy XIII world:
Pulse - A vast world stretching out beneath the floating shell of Cocoon, and the source of lurking menace
The summoned - Salvation of the ill-fated l'Cie.
l'Cie - Those marked by the fal'Cie for a greater destiny
The future belongs not to those who wait...
