From Finalfantasy14players: During Day 2 of the New York Comic Con, I was fortunate enough to sit down with Sage Sundi (Global Online Producer at Square Enix) and Yasu Kurosawa (North American Online Producer at Square Enix). We went through a lot of different topics about various rumors - PVP, summons, airships, XBOX 360 version - and addressed some of the main complaints about the game - UI, anima regen rate, storyline, etc. The most important thing I gather from talking to them was that they listen to a lot of feedback from players and that Final Fantasy 14 should be enjoyed at a well-moderated pace. They want you to stop and smell the roses once in awhile or rather stop and marvel at all the various unique details in the game. Onto the interview: More »

From Wirebot:

I just wanted make a quick comment about the insane number of flashbacks Final Fantasy XIII has and wanted to ask if anyone else was feeling my pain? I am in absolute love with the storyline, but I can’t help but think it could have been told in more creative ways than the obscene amounts of flashbacks that appear every 20- 30 paces Lightening takes.

From Wirebot:

Remember those days when calling upon Odin, Shiva, or Ifrit would guarantee the instant annihilation of all non-boss enemies. Summons used to be epic, their power was so immense that no ordinary foe would stand a chance against one and we loved it! So what happened in Final Fantasy XIII? Why are the Eidolons so pathetic?
