FINAL FANTASY XIII INTERVIEW DETAILS

Flame War Advance found a new interview with the FFXIII lead character designer, Tetsuya Nomura, about the game's progress, and this time he sticks to just the gameplay details. The last time this guy gave an interview he maybe kinda sorta mentioned that Final Fantasy XIII would not be coming out this year, but he does give some good insight this time around the globe.

Tetsuya describes gameplay as adopting styles from Kingdom Hearts and even Dirge of Cerberus. Depending on the type of battle you face, and which weapon you choose, the game's perspective will switch from third person to first person views to complement your combat needs. Pulling that off smoothly sounds difficult, although I like the idea of different bosses requiring completely different controller strategies. Although, adjusting the artificial intelligence of either your enemies or your teammates depending on which viewing mode you're in could be a disaster.

I still want to know more about the rumors that the main character might let you play the role of the villain in the story, but Nomura didn't offer anymore details for FFXIII. However, he did mention that Kingdom Hearts 3 is on hold until Square Enix is completely finished with Final Fantasy XIII, which is probably for the best.

Leave the Kingdom Hearts action RPG gameplay in Kindom Hearts you douchebags! It seems my only hope for a good traditional Final Fantasy is if they ever re-release Final Fantasy 7 with better graphics like that tech demo.
