Q&A: How Square Enix Cracked Simultaneous Release With The Last Remnant
Q&A: How Square Enix Cracked Simultaneous Release With The Last Remnant At Tokyo Game Show, under the auspices of Microsoft, Square Enix showed off a completed build of its first Unreal Engine 3 game, The Last Remnant, developed at its Tokyo studio under the command of a team of Square Enix veterans, director Hiroshi Takai and art producer Yusuke Naora.
Here, the two answer questions about the company's first attempt to create a game that will have a simultaneous worldwide release -- on the Xbox 360, at least, where the game will ship next month in all three major territories.
Unfortunately, the PlayStation 3 version has been delayed (and questions about it were rebuffed by a Square Enix representative under the umbrella of Microsoft's sponsorship of the game's appearance at Tokyo Game Show.)
How does the team feel now about your first project using Unreal Engine 3?
Hiroshi Takai: Working on Unreal Engine has just been a very different way of thinking than we've created games in the past. It took us a while to sort of get the hang of, "Oh, this is the way that we have to make it do things on Unreal, versus what we've done before."
But once we got the hang of that, things went really smoothly -- we really haven't had any problems. I'm actually looking forward to trying out the next version of Unreal right now.
You alluded that there were some differences from using the Unreal technology from your internal technology. Can you elaborate on those differences and whether they presented difficulties, or new opportunities, during development.
HT: At first, we thought that we had begun something really difficult. As we got used to using Unreal, we definitely got a lot of new ways of thinking, and plus benefits in game development -- so like, speed, and workflow, and everything.
Yusuke Naora: The staff got so used to using Unreal, now they enjoy playing around with the engine a lot.
This game was originally conceived as Square Enix's worldwide product, to work and be successful in every territory. I want to talk about how that became an important part of the game and story design, and how you feel you've succeeded at that goal.
HT: Probably the main thing was, we started purely wanting to think that we wanted to make a multilingual game. We started from the beginning saying that we want the release to be simultaneous localization, simultaneous release.
So, thinking of the other markets, we tried maybe to have more realistic characters, so it was not so fantastic, not so, "Well, this does really well in Japan."
This will be more accessible to people everywhere. Also with naming and other things, we tried not to use too much English that makes sense to Japanese people but not necessarily to English speakers.
YN: Another thing to note is that the motion capture has been done with western actors all the way, and that feedback from actors acting, literally changed our way of thinking in designing the motion and everything.
It affected the story as well. There has been a good mix of the Japanese team and motion capture actresses and actors.

LOS ANGELES (November 12, 2008) &mdash Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in North America (Square Enix), and development house Gas Powered Games Corp., (Gas Powered Games) announced today that they have formed a strategic partnership. With the commencement of this strategic partnership, development has begun on SUPREME COMMANDER® 2, a sequel to the award-winning real-time strategy series.
This strategic partnership represents one of the first steps Square Enix Co., Ltd., a sister company of Square Enix headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and its affiliates (collectively, Square Enix Group) are taking towards their goal of increasing western development efforts aimed for the global markets. Square Enix Group has previously worked exclusively with Japanese development companies, so the decision to form strategic partnerships with developers located outside of Japan serves as a new cornerstone of its strategy to create games targeted primarily at consumers in North America and Europe. Additionally, Square Enix Group’s foray into the real-time strategy genre is a significant expansion of its product lineup, largely known for its leadership role in the genre of role-playing games.
"We see great opportunities in North American and European markets, both of which are expected to be maintaining sustainable growth over these coming years," said Yoichi Wada, president and representative director of Square Enix Co., Ltd.. "Therefore, it is crucial we create alliances with proven developers such as Gas Powered Games in order to serve these significant markets better by providing products and services in tune with customer tastes."
"Gas Powered Games is an accomplished development house that has demonstrated its ability to successfully create and develop intellectual properties," said John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix and Square Enix Ltd., Square Enix’s sister company in U.K. "We are extremely excited to begin working with Gas Powered Games’ talented personnel and see this strategic partnership as a significant step in our efforts to bring Square Enix titles to a broader global audience."
Creator of hit titles such as Dungeon Siege®, and Supreme Commander, Gas Powered Games® was founded in 1998 by one of the game industry’s most imaginative and dynamic visionaries Chris Taylor, who serves as chief executive officer. "It is truly a great honor to join forces with as renowned a developer and publisher as Square Enix," said Taylor: "Everyone at Gas Powered Games is thrilled about this collaboration, and the results will surely delight video game fans around the world."
Details on SUPREME COMMANDER 2 including gameplay features, platform(s) and ship date will be available at a later time.
Nguồn: Squareenix.comLOS ANGELES (November 20, 2008) — Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in North America, announced today that its new RPG, THE LAST REMNANT™, is available today worldwide for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
THE LAST REMNANT is a completely new RPG and the company's first IP that seeks to implement elements that appeal to users around the world. The development team is comprised of rising stars who keep new ideas flowing, and Square Enix veterans who provide their expertise from the FINAL FANTASY® series.
"The simultaneous worldwide launch of THE LAST REMNANT was quite a challenge, considering the multitude of languages the title had to be localized in," said John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix, Inc. and Square Enix, Ltd. "We couldn't be more excited that this title is available to gamers around the world at the same time. We hope people will embrace our latest RPG and the efforts Square Enix is taking to expand its audience base globally."
STORY
Long ago, the world was filled with Remnants — mysterious artifacts from an ancient civilization. But as time passed, the powers of the Remnants began to shift the world's balance. As the rift widened between those who ruled and those who were ruled over, a new era dawned: one of countless frays brought upon the world by those enslaved by their own lust for power.
Rush and Irina are the children of scientists researching the esoteric Remnants. One day, Irina is kidnapped by a mysterious group for reasons unknown. As Rush searches for his sister, the world is thrust into confusion while those who rule bicker over dividing the Remnants' powers.
With the appearance of a mysterious man who calls himself the Conqueror, Rush is drawn into this international intrigue. While battling with his emotions in the search for his missing sister, he discovers he is somehow connected to the enigmatic Conqueror…
Into whose hands will the powers of the Remnants fall?

Vừa qua, hãng sản xuất trò chơi nổi tiếng Nhật Bản kiêm cha đẻ của loạt sản phẩm ăn khách Final Fantasy là Square Enix tuyên bố sẽ mở thêm một studio trực thuộc tại thành phố Los Angeles, Mỹ. Đội ngũ phát triển mới sẽ đảm nhận dự án tiếp theo của hãng trên hai hệ máy Xbox 360 và Wii.
Đi kèm với thông báo trên là bảng "tuyển mộ" nhân lực khá "hấp dẫn": "Bạn đã bao giờ tin tưởng rằng đội ngũ phát triển của mình sẽ đi đúng hướng? Bạn đã bao giờ có cơ hội nhận bảo hiểm y tế khi mới vào làm việc? Nếu chưa thì đây chính là cơ hội tốt nhất dành cho bạn!" Nhìn những dòng quảng cáo trên, ai cũng thấy rõ Square Enix đang muốn xây dựng một studio nòng cốt trong tương lai.
Final Fantasy XIII chưa ra đời, Square Enix đã chuẩn bị dự án mới.
"Chúng tôi đang ấp ủ một dự án game theo thể loại nhập vai hành động thuần túy và thật mừng là nhóm phát triển mới tại Los Angeles sẽ đảm nhận phần việc quan trọng này, hi vọng sẽ có nhiều thành viên xuất sắc cộng tác với Square Enix", đại diện phía nhà sản xuất cho biết thêm.

"Chúng tôi luôn cố gắng nâng tầm ảnh hưởng của mình ra các quốc gia giàu tiềm năng, nhất là khu vực Bắc Mỹ, nơi những trò chơi nhập vai Nhật Bản hiếm khi thành công", phó chủ tịch Square Enix Michihiro Sasaki tâm sự.

Nguồn: GamekBắt đầu được giới thiệu từ cách đây 2 năm (2006), tiêu tốn bao nhiêu giấy mực của báo giới, Final Fantasy XIII trong mắt game thủ vẫn "mờ ảo" hơn bao giờ hết. Hàng triệu con tim trên khắp thế giới dõi theo từng động thái của Square Enix và tự hỏi liệu phiên bản thứ 13 - con số không hề may mắn - của series nhập vai huyền thoại có trở thành tựa game giành nhiều giải thưởng nhất năm 2009? Có thể lắm chứ, vì ngay trong năm 2008 trò chơi này đã bước lên bục trao thưởng đầy xứng đáng.
Thật vậy, đại hội MTV Game Awards 2008 diễn ra tại Đức ngày 21/11 vừa qua đã chính thức trao giải "Do believe the hype" (tựa game giàu hi vọng thành công nhất) cho Final Fantasy XIII. Để được vinh danh trong dịp này, sản phẩm tới từ Nhật Bản đã vượt qua 4 ứng cử viên "nặng kí" khác như Prince of Persia, Diablo III, Duke Nukem Forever và "người đồng hương" Resident Evil 5.

Dù không thể trực tiếp tới dự giải, nhưng nhà thiết kế cộm cán Yoshinori Kitase đã tự ghi lại một đoạn clip tỏ rõ niềm vui khi "đứa con" của mình đoạt giải. Kết quả trên phần nào cho thấy chiến dịch quảng bá rầm rộ của Square Enix suốt 2 năm vừa qua là hoàn toàn đúng đắn, đồng thời các fan của trò chơi nhập vai huyền thoại lại được dịp hi vọng đây chính là sự "khởi đầu đẹp" cho ngày ra mắt Final Fantasy XIII vào năm sau.
It has been two days since Square Enix opened a new teaser/countdown site for a game called Blood of Bahamut. Some scans from the latest issue of the monthly Jump Magazine have now confirmed that the title will be a Nintendo DS game.
