Xboxyde Interviews Father of Final Fantasy

[Dolla Dolla]

It's a short interview, but a good one. In it, Hironobu Sakaguchi reveals details about Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Cry On. Here's a snippet:

Gamersyde: To begin with, we would like to have some confirmation from you because a lot of people are still wondering if the European release of the game will include the Japanese voice track.

Hironobu Sakaguchi: Not only will you have the Japanese voices but there are also other languages such as English, French, German and Spanish. So you can decide to play with the Japanese voices and then choose the subtitles in your own language.

Gamersyde: Excellent! Blue Dragon sold about 200,000 units in Japan: are you satisfied with the sales so far and what about your expectations for the worldwide sales?

Hironobu Sakaguchi: I think I'm pretty satisfied since we sold about 200,000 packs but we also sold 100,000 games so that's 300,000 total which means that 66% of 360 owners have bought the game. I think it was a successful release.

Interesting about the numbers he said for Blue Dragon. I'm guessing that is sold through to retailers, 300k. But he does say 66% of 360 owners in Japan bought the game. Lost Odyssey will probably do really well, too.
