-- How is the development of Versus XIII going?
Nomura: Everyone is very excited over this so I think we can make something good out of this. Part of our team has been together since the FF7 days but since we've spent such a long time working on KH, a lot of spirit is going into the development of a long-awaited FF for us.

-- What kind of FF will it turn out to be like?
Nomura: The action elements will be high in the game but instead of defeating the enemies from an audience's view, I want to give people the taste of actually being part of that world. The assignment here is whether we can build an FF with the suspense and thrill of Third-Person-Shooting or not. In that sense, the game will be a slightly different type of FF.

Nothing much new. But then there's another Nomura interview in the Dengeki PS extra booklet called "Relay" and, although the interview focused more on merchandising, it has some interesting news in it...

- Apparently Square Enix wants to figure-ize more characters designed by Nomura but Nomura will instead be supervising more on accessories and apparel-related merchandises. He will probably make some original designs, too.

- It's confimed that Subarashiki Kono Sekai will have some action figures. Apparently there's a photo of a 15-cm-tall Neku and Shiki. No release date so far, though. (Apparently there's also a new figure for the PS version of Cloud)

- Still no plans of selling the Lightning figure since the game is still under development and there might be some alterations to her design. For now, the figure is only for show in events.

- No plans for a figure of Versus XIII main character too because the game is still under development and his design is still incomplete. However, they might think something apparel-wise.

- Everything shown of Versus XIII so far are still in temporary state. Nomura wants to do something new but it'll take some time to finish so the main character will have to keep wearing his 'temporary clothes' for awhile for now. Currently, Nomura's steadily finishing the designs of the other party members in the game so he should be able to show them someday. (hopefully soon)"
