Special Questions
Interview with Opone
Opone Kikuchi, our reporter at August’s Gamescom, answered a lot of questions from our readers.
Q: How did you feel about seeing FFXIV in motion for the first time? -Kaeru
A: Even before I touched the keyboard, my entire body was shaking with excitement!
Q: What did you feel was really impressive when you got to play? –Okka
A: Definitely the battle. There are a lot of aspects that can go into a
player’s battle strategy, like how to handle an enemy that tries to get
a positional advantage during battle.
Q: What did you think about the scenery? –hocuto
A: It was incredibly detailed. Even so, the staff present at the time
told me this wasn’t even close to what the finished product will be!
Q: How was my beloved Miqo’te?! –Rhye
A: Their expressions were dangerously cute. I think the Lalafell and Miqo’te expressions were exaggerated a bit more than those of the Hyurans.
Q: Does the FFXIV layout seem easy to get used to? –suim
A: I think it will be really easy to get used to. Like other
next-generation games, the screen is quite wide and there is plenty of
room for everything.
