Our comrades atFrench outlet Actu Gamingrecently had an interview with Keisuke Kikuchi at Paris Games Week 2019. Kikuchi revealed certain details on the upcomingFairy TailRPG developed by Gust. We’ve translated below the most interesting parts of the interview.
Actu Gaming asked Keisuke Kikuchi if other arcs of theFairy Tailmanga might get added via DLCs. Kikuchi answered that these arcs could be adapted in possible future games. For the moment, the main idea is that if there are DLCs, it’ll focus on adding bonus elements. And in the future, the DLCs might add bonus stories.
Kikuchi also mentioned that during the Grand Magic Games Arc, players won’t be forced into a succession of battles.
Kikuchi also mentioned how he regularly chats with Hiro Mashima, and how Mashima was very “open” with Gust adding new elements, as long as it stayed within the spirit ofFairy Tail. Needless to say, Hiro Mashima also participated in the discussion to decide which characters would appear in the game.
Lastly, seeing Mashima is a passionate gamer himself, he often chats with Kikuchi and theFairy TailRPG development team to share his opinion. Not asFairy Tail’s author, but as a simple player.
