On September 15, in Makuhari Messe, Chiba ken, Japan, ‘Tokyo Game Show 2016’ was opened.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary this year, ‘Tokyo Game Show 2016,’ the show that represents Japan, is co-hosted by Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) and Nikkei BP, and specially cooperated with DWANGO. The event is organized into a business-day on September 15 and 16, when only game business people and mass communication officials can enter, and a public-day on September 17 and 18, when all the visitors can enter.

At New Otani Hotel near the event hall, Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia (SIEJA) progressed a presentation session presenting a new title. In this session, it introduced about the main titles published by SIE affiliated developers and major publishers and explained the features of the games.

On the second day of event, ‘World of Final Fantasy’ session, which is a role-playing game being developed by Koei Tecmo Games, was prepared, and a director Hiroki Chiba was a presenter for the session.

‘World of Final Fantasy’ is the game where the world views, characters, and monsters of most of ‘Final Fantasy’s which had been released so far can be met in one place. The story is mainly progressed by two characters, ‘Lann’ and ‘Reynn,’ and during adventure, they encounter various ‘Final Fantasy’ world views.





As a basic style, the battle is progressed after combining two main characters and more than 200 types of Mirages and creating a party, and the available skills are changed according to the combination of the party. Especially in this game, by applying inversed concept that the original character summons Mirage, popular characters of each game are summoned as ‘saver’ and they help user’s party.

‘Saver’ basically uses one skill, and the using skills are applied by the references from Dissidia series to enhance the image of the original work. Especially, since it can use only one skill, after considering its performance and effect, the user has to summon appropriate ‘saver’ to lead the battle advantageous.

Moreover, ‘saver’ participates in not only battle but also story, so it sometimes leads story as a leading character. Next, Chiba talked about the situation during production by saying, “The lines of ‘saver’ characters are all in full-voice. In case of Japanese voice, it was an enormous task as it took 6 months for recording work.”

A number of skills and abilities in the original work also appear in ‘World of Final Fantasy.’ However, the battle style is fighting with monsters together, and there is no any weapon or armor since the ability is changed according to the combination of characters and monsters. Instead, the unique items of the series can be used.

In case of the multiplay, PlayStation 4 version support general network mode, and PS Vita version supports ad-hoc mode. Although it doesn’t support ‘cross play,’ which is a link play between both versions, it supports ‘cross save’ so that the save files can be applied to both sides alternately.

In case of the background music, the major BGMs with different moods for each game are arranged to fit the atmosphere of ‘World of Final Fantasy,’ and as a result, the arranged version of background music is contained in the game. Especially, through lots of communications with composer Masashi Hamauzu, it was possible to create the mood that best fits the game. Later, you can meet the BGMs into the soundtrack album containing 4 CDs.

‘World of Final Fantasy’ subtitled in Korean will be officially released on October 25. For the initial premium, the promotion codes of English and Japanese voices in the game will be included, and the promotion codes to get ‘White Chocobo,’ ‘Light Moogle,’ ‘Astraia,’ and being able to summon ‘Sephiroth,’ will be also included.
