Suzuki-san, we know that Virtua Fighter Quest features the cast of the VF series, can you tell us anything more about Virtua Fighter Quest at the moment?

Yu Suzuki: Well, in Virtua Fighter 4 it's realistic figures - the ratio of the size of the head to the body, is one eight. But for Virtua Fighter Quest, we're making it one to five [smiles]. There will be some RPG elements, but when it's finished it might be a little closer to an adventure game. We only started the planning stages last summer so I'm not really sure how it'll turn out yet!

and....

You seem like a very happy guy, why such a violent game like Shinobi? And is there going to be a Skies of Arcadia sequel?

Noriyoshi Oba: I don't think it's such a violent game! [laughs] The Skies of Arcadia sequel is in the planning stages at the moment.

hmmm... no news is good news, I am told. But I really want to see Skies of Arcadia 2 on GameCube in my lifetime.

Sounds a little like what the VF characters looked like in VF Kids. Personaly I think this is cool, but I know a lot of people will think it sounds "kiddie".

Anyway I wonder if they are going to bring back Taka the sumo, He was one of my best characters.

SKIES 2

yes! im upto about 50 hours in skies, and still haven't finnished it

so a sequel (it better come out here >=|) would be perfect!

PIAC,
I've played 76 hours and I'm still not done!

Michael8983 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 15, 2003, 06:53:24 AM »

If I recall correctly, the VF kids had heads that were actually as large if not larger than their bodies. So a 5:1 ratio shouldn't look all that bad. It probably won't even be noticeable since we're so used to seeing characters with large heads in RPGs.

As long as the gameplay on VFQ isnt dumbed down, i could care less how the characters looked really.... oh and i want Skies of Arcadia MMORPG!

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #8 on:** August 15, 2003, 10:16:28 AM »

I have to finish that game... Hopefully before Soul Calibur 2 comes out.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #9 on:** August 15, 2003, 10:19:09 AM »

I want to buy it before I finish it. At the moment I am unwilling to pay shipping costs involved with getting it. But maybe in another month that will be remedied.

Why don't you buy it from amazon.ca. They have two new sections: Computer & Videogames, Software. Unfortunately Skies of Arcadia is priced at $79.99. BTW you have free shipping on purchases above $39.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #11 on:** August 15, 2003, 01:00:42 PM »

YES! I can't believe that Amazon.ca finally has video games.

That's news to me. I will definately be buying it from them then.

The problem is that I am moving soon, and I am not sure if it would get here before I moved. I am not really sure that I want to pay $80 at the moment either though. Besides, I might be leaving my TV behind, and it might take me a while to get a new one.

Grey Ninja,
I ordered from Amazon.ca for the first time last month. If you choose to get free shipping, you'll wait a long time for your game. I ordered Skies of Arcadia on July 16th and got it August 11th. If I would have known, I would have choose a different shipment plan. It would have cost a little more, but it would have been worth it.

Funny, this has been up since February, and people are just noticing it. Oh well...

"PIAC,

Holy $#!t- 76 hours? I've been playing for like 10 hours or so and I can't get past that guy who burns down the forest.

>X< Kitten >X< · « **Reply #15 on:** August 16, 2003, 02:24:49 PM »

Mouse_clicker, I tend to leave my Cube on (don't even question it). I'm sure I only played about 40 hours or so in reality. I'm close to the end too so it does make sense.

I've only played about 30 minutes. I guess I've got a ways to go. huh?

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #17 on:** August 17, 2003, 12:26:03 AM »

Don't feel bad. I'm at the start screen!

Ninja - why don't you order it from DVDBoxOffice.com? It's CAD$70.95 and free shipping.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #18 on:** August 17, 2003, 04:40:43 PM »

Kitten, so you've left your Gamecube on, with Skies of Arcadia Legends in it, for 36 hours without playing?

40 hours is still a long time- last major RPG I beat ran me about 30 hours. Then again, I breezed through that because I couldn't beat a particular boss (mini boss, actually

) and leveled up all my character 10 levels. That tree burning guy is still giving me trouble. Either I'm just not good at RPG battles or my characters's levels are too low.

PIAC · « **Reply #19 on:** August 17, 2003, 05:24:33 PM »

well, i haven't left it on at all, and im 56 hours at the moment, and i know im close to the end of the game, but then i do spend a while just flying about looking for discoveries and such

Molobert · « **Reply #20 on:** August 17, 2003, 07:02:41 PM »

I'm at 48 hours or so, and I'm at the final boss I think. The first day I got Skies I played 8 hours straight.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 18, 2003, 03:31:15 PM »

I usually take a while with my RPGs........I'm in such a rush to find out more about the story. I took 90 hrs for FFX, and I haven't even seen the ending becuase my ps2 freezes whenever I try to go to the boss fight (Sin).

I've been playing for about 52 hrs but....

SPOILERS*

I just got the ability to fly under islands, recently got my Island and crew, and battled it out with the imposters for a bounty.....so I probably have a ways to go, right?

END SPOILERS*

yep there you have it. I love RPGS.....

>X< Kitten >X< · « **Reply #22 on:** August 19, 2003, 04:02:59 AM »

Mouse_clicker, I found all discoveries, got all my crew members, got all the treasure chests, got all chams, I've defeated all bounties, I finished the Moonfish and Piastol quest, I beat Elcian, I unlocked the three secrets, I got the title of "Vyse the Legend", and everything else you can think of in this game, I've done it. I beat it yesterday

I had 104 hours on that file, but it was probably just 70 hours or so.

Oh and Molobert? I played 12 hours straight the first time I rented Skies

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #23 on:** August 19, 2003, 11:43:07 AM »

Holy #$%&.

I don't know anybody who plays RPG's that extensively. I know one guy who liked to look in the barrels all the time in Breath of Fire, and I do enjoy getting all the Djinni in Golden Sun, but never have I met anyone who actually COMPLETES RPG's 100%. You've risen up a great deal on my respect-o-meter. And I still can't even beat that damn tree burner!

I bet I've got one of the longest gaming marathons, though- 18 hours straight for both Ocarina of Time and Grandia II.

>X< Kitten >X< · « **Reply #24 on:** August 19, 2003, 12:05:34 PM »

Well congradulation on 18 hours straight.

I would most likely fall alseep.

Yes I do complete all games 100% (Well at least I try...renting becomes a problem here but the games I buy are going to be completed at it's fullest.) But I use FAQ's to help me in SOME elements of the game. *Feels the "respect-o-meter" go down again*

As for the battle with De Loco you can't seem to win, well just use the Harpoon Canon as much as you can and heal yourself when you're damaged. I'm sorry but that's all it takes and that's all the help you're going to get from me.
