Ghostlander Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Nobody talking about the fact that you can take classes from your spouse now? That's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 All of the info in this ask is pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This gives me the impression that the third story is gonna have a good amount of content. I'm eager to see how it all turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedeathby2 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 After finishing reading the entire interview I'm now hyped once again. Also I actually liked this interview as the people in it really seemed to know each other and it made the interview process very natural. Besides that I must say that IS really did pull out all the stops to get Kibayashi to write the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Giamatti Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 It's good to know that they are really focusing on the story for this one. And being able to take the class of your spouse is really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Scientist Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Interesting how it was Kibayashi who suggested they allow Internet in addition to StreetPass. Thank you, Kibayashi-san! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Shogi Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I like that the spouses also gain something from each other from the marriage system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebos Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I have only been able to read a bit so far, but they seem to be saying all of the right things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Bunny Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My hype-meter had been going down for the game for a while now. Then I read this interview, and I'm now back up to full. The gaining of the spouses class is interesting...I can't wait to see Eugenics Emblem: Extreme arise due to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageOfAnys Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My respect for Kibayashi just quadripled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueL Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This just made me even more determined to avoid story spoilers, seeing how much effort they put into the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakaion Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Wow, this was a great Iwata Asks! I've always loved how in depth they go into the creation of and ideas behind the games they discuss. It really makes me appreciate the games that much more. This one was definitely a fun read and I'm glad to see them address and acknowledge the plot's weak points in Awakening, and how they made an effort to improve that for this game. Kibayashi's passion and overall engagement with his characters is good to see. I think we can trust him to make an interesting tale. (I'm also wary... especially after his "I really wanted to make sure that it would make players cry." bit...) Overall, the way they talk about the game sounds very honest and it seems like they really cared about making this a good game. And that they actually put some thought into some of the new ideas added, some of which had even been brought up back when they were making Awakening. It seems pretty promising.

Kirokan Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 All the story focus has me hopeful for tomorrow! Here's hoping Kibayashi did a great job. : ) Kibayashi"Even though you thought you were siding with evil, it wasn't actually all evil. And on the other hand, even if you side with good, it's not all good..." This will give hope to people finding fault with Hoshido. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueL Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 So while I was writing this, I started to really identify with the way that the protagonist is feeling and I started thinking "I've done something horrible!" (laughs) I haven't even played the game but the first Treehouse video made me feel this way. The way they bickered over you tugged at my heart strings.

Dandee Leone Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 My faith has been completely restored for this game after reading this interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 So how will the class sharing work for the more character specific classes? Will people be able to share Garu, Spirit Fox, Songstress and... Nohr Prince(ss)? If not, what class will the spouse get? Also, if the character starts as a promoted class that is shared by multiple base classes (such as Hero) what class will be made available? Only the class they are when they get married? Theoretically, a first gen character should have access of up to 9 different classes, including the base and promoted classes.

Lynsanity Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 So how will the class sharing work for the more character specific classes? Will people be able to share Garu, Spirit Fox, Songstress and... Nohr Prince(ss)? If not, what class will the spouse get? Man I hope this is this the case! Getting bit by a werewolf turns you into a werewolf, marrying a prince should turn you into a princess, and marrying a spirit fox... uh... I guess it's like you got taken to the spirit world? To also become a fox? Also, if the character starts as a promoted class that is shared by multiple base classes (such as Hero) what class will be made available? Only the class they are when they get married? Well, characters who start out promoted still have a base class associated with them, since they have 2 skills from that base class. For instance, Frederick in awakening had cavalier skills, not knight skills. So marrying him in Fates would probably give you cavalier class options.

That's true for Felicia and Joker so you're probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexian Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This interview was really touching. I felt a lot of emotions while reading. They all seem to get along very well, and we could feel the love they had for the game and the series. Their honesty was also a great point. They went all out to make a game that would make many people happy. I laughed when they mentioned how the head of the sales department changed his attitude after Awakening sold greatly... Money is everything. I think I'm going to avoid spoilers from now on. I want to enjoy this game fully ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenoss Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I now see better why If/fates is full of fanservice and otaku elements.. In the end is all about money.I enjoy most of the interview, and i'm really curious to see all the plot and see if i will be able to cry :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallPox Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Glad to see they acknowledged awakening's terrible story. Yes indeed. I'm releave to know that. "But on the other hand, the story felt lacking to those fans who were with us from previous games as they wanted a deeper and more complex story line." Probably one of the reason who push me to learn japanese. It was so bad I thought it was a translation issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
