Q:
after square and ea joined together, what will be significant different
for square and ea future games? (FF8, Bushido Blade 2, sport games,
etc) will their games be mixed? i mean, look at ergeiz, fighting game
that combined with namco and square character( only cloud and tifa) will
ea sport games have some extra from square? or will square games have
some extra from ea? (i think FF8 will have more mini games, like
soccer,basketball, racing, etc). also, what's the point of joining ea
and square? is it for square games that couldn't be released in US?
xenogear, bushido blade 2, etc)? thanks
AK:
There won't be significant differences in the games. You might see small
cameos, but if so, nothing major. The point of joining the companies is just
for publishing, NOT development or translation. EA has a strong publishing
presence in the U.S., and Square does in Japan. EA will benefit in Japan,
Square in the U.S.
Q:
Heya! Couple of questions to shoot at you:
1.) I've heard rumors from several friends that Squaresoft will be releasing
one, or all, of the Seiken Densetsu series on the Nintendo 64. Is this true?
2.) I've ALSO heard rumors that Squaresoft is re-releasing the SaGa (or FFL)
series in America. Can you confirm this?
AK:
1) Not in the least. Completely unsubstantiated rumors at this point. I'm not
saying it's NOT going to happen, but as of now, there's been no indication that
it will.
2) Sunsoft is re-releasing the FF Legends and FF Adventure on Gameboy, but no
exact re-release date is given. Maybe it'll be on the new color Gameboy that
Nintendo recently unveiled? Just a (wishful) thought.
Q:
Hey Andrew,
What's up?
My question is what the hell is going on with BOF3? I just found out
that it has been pushed back to May 14 instead of May 1. Is it because
of the translation?
AK:
I'm starting to worry a bit about Breath of Fire 3. It was originally scheduled
for early this month, and twice it's been pushed back on the eve of its shipping.
My understanding, from rumors, is that the game is 100% complete and ready to go,
and the delays are a strategic move (what logic it's based on is anyone's guess).
I heard rumblings last month it was going to be delayed until the fall... I dismissed
them as bull, since the release date was so close, but now I wonder...
Q:
Do you answer all questions sent to you? cause I sent a couple a week ago
and I never saw it again.

AK: I answer as many as I can, but I get a bit backlogged sometimes. If
I don't post your letter or reply, I'm sorry about that, but 24 hours really is
too few for a day. I do guarantee I read every letter I receive, however.
