1.- Favourite game of all time?
- Sarah: GoldenEye
- Phil: Voodoo Vince
2.- Japanese game that they are looking forward to?
- Sarah: Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (Capcom)
- Phil: Dragon's Dogma 2 (Capcom). A month ago he would have say Armored Core 6, in fact he had a chance to talk to Miyazaki-san about it and congratulate the team.
3.- Question to Phil, how does he get along with Todd Howard?
They have been friends for a long time. He says that Todd enjoyed a lot the experience with the fans during Gamescom. Maybe he'll go to TGS next year.
4.- How do they manage the day between family time and work time?
- Sarah: They use parental control quite often. Gaming is a reward to homework and other daily duties. They also like to play together because each one is good at something (puzzles, shooting or research).
- Phil: Gaming is a good way for them to be connected now that their daughters have their own life.
5.- Game series, first party or not, that they would like to see having a revival?
- Sarah: Not her personally, but she has been asked a lot about Starcraft during the week 👀
- Phil: The MechAssuault/Mechwarrior series, it was ahead of it's time and there is a lot about that franchise to do. They don't have a plan right now, therefore this is not a "leak" :p xD but it would nice to go back to it someday.
6.- Question from someone writing lots of reviews on the Xbox Store: there could be a way to make the reviews more visible for the user writing them?
Sarah says that thanks for all the feedback and that she'll share the suggestion with the team. Phil says that they look at the reviews and thanks the community for them.
7.- Are the console wraps coming to Japan? Are they coming to Xbox Series S too?
Yes, likely before the end of the year. Regarding the wraps for Series S, the different design means more extra work and they are thinking about how to do them too.
8.- Question to Sarah: the person asking loves her fashion and is wondering if it would be possible for all the Xbox fans to know what she is wearing to buy it xD
She likes fashion and tries to look for innovative ways to represent the Xbox brand through what she is wearing. For example, the green dress from the BAFTAs in 2022.
Phil says that they should think about a "Sarah's Gear" and he wants to highlight how no one asks him about fashion xD He says that t-shits are his fashion xD
And that was it!
