Nmia had the opportunity to join the interview session of where Daisuke Inoue,Masashi Fujiwara as well as Fumihiko Yasuda attended. This game will be launched this year on PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One as well as PlayStation 5. Let’s have a look at the contents of the interview session. Daisuke Inoue (SQUARE ENIX’s Producer) Masashi Fujiwara (SQUARE ENIX’s Director) Fumihiko Yasuda (KOEI TECMO GAMES & Team NINJA Producer/Brand Ambassador - What made Final Fantasy Origin worthy of exploring further for the theme for SQUARE ENIX as well as for KOEI TECMO & Team NINJA? For Final Fantasy Origin, we took the FFI as a motive to build up a story, but in the original title of FFI we didn’t really got to see how Garland, who was a good warrior/knight, go down that path of evil . Therefore, we took the interpretations of what might have happened that led him in that path and kind of try to dive into that element, of to why he decided to go in the pursuit of chaos and go down that path. We are hoping to dive in deeper and to humanize Garland. - What sparked or kickstarted the collaboration of this project between KOEI TECMO and SQUARE ENIX? This whole project started from a numerous idea/concept of trying to create an action game where players go through various dungeon and locations to complete the game and also taking in to the concept/storyline of Final Fantasy I, on how Garland ended up going down to that path of evil, we wanted to incorporate that storyline and put that together and create a full fledge or very authentic action game. At the same time, we were already working with TEAM NINJA Dissidia Final Fantasy and with an approach of trying to create an authentic kind of action game, we decided to ask TEAM NINJA who is very skilled at making these action games and that is how the collaboration came to be. - The main character design is somewhat plain compared to the usual designs made by Mr. Tetsuya Nomura. Is there any reason behind this? Even in the original game of Final Fantasy I, the main protagonists are treated as strangers who came from some place unknown. We took the design motive from Final Fantasy 1 lore and were inspired by it. Therefore, we incorporated the concept in his companions as well so they are treated as strangers that are not of the world there are in that we believed has been reflected into their attire as well as you can see a little bit more of a modern design. For the character design, Nomura mentioned that in Final Fantasy I as well as the original game, you do notice that the characteristics aren’t really brought to the forefront, especially the fact that you can change their jobs and their appearances which takes that into the account that the characteristics were not the centre piece and not brought to the forefront. Therefore, Nomura decided to go down the same path for Final Fantasy Origin as well. - In respect of the darker turn for the narrative that we see in Stranger of Paradise, was there a purpose through direction that the team expected to explore, in opposite of what we have come to expect in the rest of the Final Fantasy or mainly due to the fact that we are playing as Garland. So this will be the latter where we will definitely be inspired by playing as Garland which was the basis of the foundation of the world lore of the game. It naturally led to the game having a darker turn where it has also been reflected in the character action , where the actions are more aggressive as well as exhilarating, something we have not seen in the previous warriors of light. - Through the trailer, job systems,dungeons as well as open world elements could be seen, should fans expect more of Final Fantasy staples in this particular game as well? Stranger Of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin is not an open world game, but things or elements in the Final Fantasy series that will definitely be in the game are Final Fantasy equipment and gears. As for the job systems, there are still some jobs that appeared in past Final Fantasy titles which we still haven't been able to reveal for this game, but through this elements we definitely feel that the players will be able to experience the Final Fantasy staples through the world lore. - The class system was one of the most attractive part of the demo. What was the biggest difficulty faced when implementing the Final Fantasy class system into this ARPG genre game and the class was the hardest to design? The job system is very iconic to the Final Fantasy series, therefore we wanted to be careful on how we try to implement it into this action game as we progress with the development. When we look at purely RPG games, players are usually in a party so its alright for people to have jobs they are good at and vice versa but, for this game we wanted to avoid making people felt like we were pushing and forcing various jobs to them , in order to make sure that didn't come off as the taste and players are able to enjoy the game, we incorporated a system where players could swap between jobs so that they are able to get by as well as made adjustments to the enemies movement to make sure that everything was about balance in this action game. - Has there been any changes made in terms of how much freedom players have in customizing the growth of our companions outside of equipment or even jobs? Are there plans to expand upon that kind of system? Aside from equipment and jobs, there isn't anything particular for companions or NPCs. Generally, the other NPCs will be able to do as Jack does as player progresses. - Will the usual Final Fantasy summons and espers be included in the game? If yes, will it only come in boss form? On the foundation we used Final Fantasy I as a motive, we found it difficult to incorporate some of the summons or espers that did not appear in the original game so we left it at there for that. - Will there be any other friendly creatures in the overworld besides cactuar? Cactuar is a Final Fantasy mascot, so we did take into account how we could incorporate it into the game so that it could be enjoyed by the players. We incorporated cactuar into the game as a bonus monster through which players would get good items if they manage to defeat it. Cactuar would be a monster players would want to encounter and at the same time we hope players will have fun defeating it. It will have a cactuar-like element and features where there will be thousand needles attack or it will run off randomly, making it a challenge to defeat it. - Will it be easier for players to get into Stranger of Paradise compared to other Final Fantasy games? Did the team have any considerations when designing the game as well as combat and progressions. With Final Fantasy being an RPG series, we understand some of the Final Fantasy fans might be playing action games for the first time and we definitely kept it in mind as we progressed with the development, making sure we created something enjoyable for the players as well. We have the story mode as well as safety mode to cater to that sort of audience, we also implemented a multiplayer mode that will be presented in a very different kind of approach in terms of gameplay for the players compared to the single player mode, and it will be able to help people take on some of the monsters they wouldn't be able to take on alone along with other players. - In terms of multiplayer, is it contained in the main narrative itself or is that a separate thing altogether? Players are able to enjoy the multiplayer mode in the main story as well. - Will there be a setting where players can adjust or optimize their own party member AI battle styles such as focus range attack, healing or melee to customize our best team? The party member AI battle styles wouldn't be customizable up to the level of Final Fantasy XII, instead the movement and battle styles of the party members AI will be different depending on what job players choose for their party members. For example, the party member attracts hate from surrounding enemies if the knight job is chosen for that member. Players will definitely see different kinds of action or movement that aligns with each selected job characteristic. - Will there be any endgame content to keep players active in the game? We are definitely planning to have some sort of end game content for replayability purposes.

Archetypal spookiness grips the world as the first of Magic’s two Halloween-themed sets brings players to the horrors of Innistrad Kuala Lumpur, Monday, 24 September 2021 — Wizards of the Coast will be releasing Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, the newest set for the world’s oldest and best trading card game, Magic: The Gathering (MTG). Revelling in Gothic horror and the introduction of powerful new Werewolves, Midnight Hunt releases on tabletop on 24 September 2021. The card theme returns to the world of Innistrad, MTG’s fan-favorite Gothic horror setting, which first made its debut in 2011. The immersive artwork on the cards illustrates the conflict between humans and supernatural threats, in a world where werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and zombies rule the night, while humans do their best to survive. If they can, that is. Midnight Hunt draws players back into a storyline that is familiar yet fraught with a new-found sense of peril. For the nights are growing longer and a terrible peril lurks in the shadows on the eve of the Harvesttide Festival. Hoping to ward off the coming dark, werewolf Planeswalker Arlinn Kord searches for the elusive Moonsilver Key to restore balance to the plane and protect the human habitants of Innistrad. Midnight Hunt introduces frightful new card mechanics to combat the evil roaming beyond the village walls. With 19 new werewolf double-faced cards (DFC), creatures will heed the call of the full moon to transform into their alternate monstrous forms. Nightbound and Daybound cards allow players to access two sets of abilities on each DFC, playing to the strengths of their creatures and Planeswalkers brought out by day and night. Players can also call on the power of the dead with the return of Flashback. The fan favourite graveyard mechanic returns from MTG’s original Innistrad set, allowing players to cast spells directly from their graveyard. In theme with the beauty of ornate horror, Midnight Hunt features brand new card variants including classically spooky black and white Eternal Night Legends and Land cards as well as Halloween, folk horror inspired Equinox cards. With dramatic contrasts reminiscent of classic gothic aesthetics, the macabre card designs will be revered by any die-hard fan of horror. The Midnight Hunt set will be available in Draft Boosters, Set Boosters and Collector Boosters, including the Midnight Hunt Bundle and two Commander decks.

Coming to Southeast Asia on 9th December 2021 SINGAPORE – 17th September 2021 – Leading video game publisher and developer, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Asia today announced new battle system information of The Battle Cats Unite!, the a new action simulation strategy game slated for release on the Nintendo Switch platform on 9th December 2021 in Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia). Battle System Features 1-Player Solo Mode In the battles of "The Battle Cats," you can produce the cats using money that you gradually accumulate during the battle. You win by reducing the enemy base's health to zero. Simply select the cat you want to produce and send it out to battle. Production consumes money, so consider how much money it costs to produce and the compatibility with enemy characters when choosing which characters to produce! You can increase the speed at which you can accumulate money and the maximum amount of money you can carry by spending some money to boost the "Worker Cat" in the bottom left corner of the screen. This will give you an advantage in battles, so be proactive and boost your "Worker Cat" early and often in battle! The "Cat Cannon" at the bottom right corner of the screen can be used to attack enemies at once and push back the battle line. It takes some time to charge up before firing, and when it does, you can use the "Cat Cannon." Use it at the right time to get the best results. Winning battles will give you XP. Use the XP you earn to power up and evolve your characters, acquire new characters, and power up your basic skills such as Attack Power and Cat Energy, etc. 2-Player Co-op Mode In this game, you can enjoy Co-op Mode with your family and friends. When playing with two players, the Equip screen switches to a special one, and you can easily view the characters either player wants to use. The basic battle procedure is the same as Solo Mode, but each player has their own "Worker Cat" and Money, and each player can produce and send out their own cats according to the money they have accumulated. When playing with two players, the "Cat Cannon" will switch to the "Boosted Cannon," which is exclusive for two players. The "Boosted Cannon" can be activated by either player and when activated, the Power Charge will grow. The two of you should synchronize your timing and press the button when the Power Charge is as high as possible. The more power you have in the Power Charge, the more powerful the "Boosted Cannon" will be. If you win the battle, you will receive XP. In addition, depending on how hard the two of you work, your grades and your title will be announced at the end of the battle. 2-Player Versus Mode You can enjoy two types of gameplays: "Single-Screen VS" and "Local Play VS". Organize the characters you want to use for each battle and set off to battle. In the Versus Mode, you can also use the "Random" option, which will randomly select cats for each battle, or the "Player Choice" option, which will select cats that are more favorable to certain attributes for each battle. Finally, in the match preparation screen, set the stage size, time limits, level adjust, and team limits, and then start the match. In the Versus Mode, check the Power Gauge displayed at the top of the screen. The first player to reduce their opponent's gauge to zero wins. Defeating your opponent's cats or attacking his castle will decrease his gauge. In Versus Mode battles, the key to victory is the "Trait Cannon," which is exclusive to this mode. You can fire "Trait Cannon" with an attribute that gives you an advantage by applying a trait to the enemy to match the ideal targets for your equipped Cats' effects. When the "Trait Cannon" hits an enemy, the opponent's attribute icon will react. You'll have to figure out which attribute will give your cats an advantage and which attribute will give your opponent an advantage. The battle ends when either side's Power Gauge is reduced to zero within the time limit, or when time runs out.

WELCOME TO THE LAND OF CELESTIAL DRAGONS, UNYIELDING WARRIORS AND WONDROUS WAR MACHINES “Grand Cathay is a land in harmony with the world around it. Every soldier knows their place in the grand designs of the Celestial Dragon Emperor. Known as the Harmony of Stone and Steel, this perfect alignment of purpose and will expresses itself in the disciplined armies of the Dragons.” Watch the new trailer here: Legendary Lords Grand Cathay is one of the oldest and most powerful civilizations in the Warhammer® World and has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years. It is ruled by the children of the Celestial Dragon Emperor, ancient and powerful beings capable of assuming human form and wielding the mysterious lores of magic known as Yin and Yang. Miao Ying, the Storm Dragon, rules over Northern Cathay and commands the armies of the Great Bastion. Cold and aloof, she has ruled over the northern provinces for centuries after its defense was entrusted to her by her father, the Celestial Dragon Emperor. Zhao Ming, the Iron Dragon, rules over Western Cathay and the Sky Road that leads into the Mountains of Mourn. A hardened frontier warrior, the Iron Dragon maintains the western edge of the empire and keeps the desert clans in order, even as the other Dragons question the sanity of their brother. Race Playstyle If Cathay could be described in a single word, it would be ‘harmony’. The Dragons of Cathay, and by extension their armies, are creatures of order, who seek balance in all things – including how they wage war. Whilst the armies of the Dragon Emperor are defensive in nature and built to stand their ground and grind the enemy down through determined defense and firepower, ensuring they fight as a single & efficient organism is the most vital element of their war effort. The longer their armies can maintain this harmony upon the battlefield, the greater the bonuses they are able to unlock. Army Roster As one of the most technologically sophisticated nations in The Old World, the Cathayan war-machine can call upon a myriad of the most ruthless and deadly units in existence. The core of the army is constructed around expert troops such as the unyielding Jade Warriors and the elite Celestial Dragon Guard, whilst devastating support can be provided by titanic Terracotta Sentinels, the masterfully crafted Wu-Xing War Compass and the ethereal Great-Jade Longma Riders. More information about Grand Cathay will be revealed over the coming weeks.

The success of our return to Xbox last year surpassed even our expectations and we’re delighted to be expanding our partnership with Microsoft to give Game Pass members the chance to experience the closest thing to being a real football manager.” FM22 brings new, progressive ways for managers to find their winning edge and instil their footballing style to cement their legacy as a managerial great. We’ll be unveiling new game features in the coming weeks across the Football Manager social channels and the Football Manager website.
