Check it out if you're an RPG fan! A new work that combines nostalgia and newness "Last Cloudia" The key person in the development talks about the charm of this work

Thoughts in the new work

Pre-registration is currently underway for Aidis' new RPG "Last Cloudia." A demo of this work was held on January 20th, and the curtain closed while it was well received.

Various masterpieces including "Brave Frontier" have been produced , Hisatoshi Hayakase is also involved in this work, but what is Mr. Hayakase's thoughts on making this work and trying to release it to the world?

In order to learn about the thoughts of the creators and the numerous mechanisms that are likely to have been put into this work, we interviewed Mr. Hayakashi, the president of Aidis, and Mr. Hiroshi Shinoko, who is the producer of this work. I've been to

What are the goals of the two top developers?

――To begin with, what are your thoughts behind the production of this original IP?

However, the current Japanese market is often aimed at Japan, so in that case, let's make something that can compete overseas. We decided to make an original IP to deliver what we made to people who like this kind of game not only in Japan but also overseas.

――When did the planning and development of this work "Last Cloudia" start?

early rental

- So, does that mean you started development about three years ago?

Shinoko

-I see. By the way, what is the pillar that did not shake?

early rental

Shinoko

――Is there something that stimulates nostalgia because it is also nostalgic?

However, when you play consumer games and old games, you can feel the thoughts of the creators and you can enter the world by playing. It gave me a thrill every time I saw the scenario and the production. We think that's the basic style of RPGs, so that's what we're aiming for this time.

Shinoko

A post-clear world will also be implemented!?

-I heard that the story of this work is quite large.

early rental

Shinoko

-I'm looking forward to it!

Shinoko

--Does that mean that the end content will be unlocked and that users will be able to do more?

early rental

Shinoko

--I'm so excited!

Special pixel art and music

――Hayakari-san is associated with dots, but the dots in this work are also amazing!

early rental

Shinoko <I'm really happy that this dot illustration was well received by everyone at the demo held on January 20th.

――Is there something particular about the fact that you used dot illustrations this time?

early rental

There are parts that use 3D such as the background, and the expressive power of 3D has evolved from the rough polygons of the past, but I still think that dots are still more suitable to bring out this warmth. I'm here.

▲Part of the game screen is trimmed. If you look at this, you will understand how detailed and beautifully drawn it is.

A Closer Look at the Battle System

――What is the battle system like in this game?

early rental

Shinoko

-I see!

Shinoko

Once you get used to the game, you can buy the manual drive for those who want to play hard, and the auto drive for those who want to play more comfortably.

PvP will also be added

――There is one element that comes to mind when it comes to battles. Will there be a PvP element in this work?

early rental

--What kind of system will it be?

It's a scramble for an early loan. The battle system itself is the same as a regular battle, butWhen an opponent is attacked, previously set defense parties will automatically defend against it. It will be .

There will also be a mechanism to prevent Shinoko from being robbed too muchDon't worry about that.

The magic in this game is super strong!

Early rental

Shinoko

――Oh, then a unit that can use magic would be useful.

early rental

By equipping a unit with an ark and fighting and accumulating experience points called AP, it is a system that anyone can learn the magic of that ark. By the way, once you memorize it, even if you remove the arc, it will still be memorized.

--It looks like it's going to be pretty customizable!

Shinoko

Ability boards use materials to strengthen units, and each unit has a different set of abilities. Anyone can learn magic using arks, but units that are strong in magic can learn magic to some extent by advancing this ability board without arks. Also, since it is easy to increase the MP required to use magic, we are characterizing it from that point of view.

early rental

All the units that appear in this work have a strong puppet show that you can see in the main story, so please check it out!

-Are scenarios of that quality prepared for all units!?

Shinoko

However, I still want the units to empathize with me. So I prepared stories for all units. It's hard to prepare (laughs).

A worldview that has been carefully crafted

--However, when it comes to giving stories to all units, it seems like it would be difficult to create a setting that doesn't break the worldview.

Shinoko

--What does it mean to be made?

early rental

-Ah, do you feel like it's placed as an item that will help you progress through the scenario and subquests?

Shinoko

――Yeah (laughs).

Shinoko

――By the way, how many types of items are prepared that have no effect on the progress of the game?

early rental

――So many!?

Shinoko

▲This is the actual booklet distributed at the event. It is said that the contents are implemented as items in the game as they are.

Shinoko

Are there any events or collaborations after the release?

--Do you already have a roadmap for what kind of events will be held after the release?

Shinoko

early rental

――What about the collaboration project?

Shinoko

――How about the timing of the major update?

early rental

As for the functions, various functions are still lacking, so I would like to add them as soon as they are ready.

Shinoko

――Finally, please leave a comment for the users who are looking forward to the release!

early rental

So, I think that people who feel that they haven't touched on that kind of fun in a long time, and users who love such elements, will be able to enjoy all of 'Last Cloudia'.

If you touch it even a little, I'm confident that it will impress everyone, so please try it once!

Shinoko

That's why we're working hard to create a game that everyone can brag about, "I cleared this," "I know this secret," and "I got this item." If you can sympathize, I would appreciate it if you could pick it up once.

early rental

-It's the winter of 2019 right now (laughs).
