Who were the favorite characters, summons, and arenas and why? Are there any quirks or rare and unusual things that casual players might not notice?
If you want to know the ones that I am currently fond of, then the character would be Noctis, the summon Bahamut, and the arena would be the Promised Meadow.
I like Noctis because he can fight with a great degree of freedom by making use of his warp ability.
I like Bahamut because he is just so cool (*laughs*)! I mean, he is THE summon that represents FINAL FANTASY, right?
I really like the things that happen during the latter part of the battle in the Promised Meadow (it brings back memories of the ending to FFVIII).
And things people don’t tend to notice…
We have put lots of little touches in to recreate the characters and stages from their original games, so please go out and search for them! (The last floor on the FFV stage has been recreated pretty much exactly like the original pixel art but in 3D.)
With regard to the battle system, we have tweaked it so that it is always possible to make a comeback and win, in any situation, so never give up when you are fighting. It feels pretty damn special when you manage to pull back a victory from the jaws of defeat!
