To start us off, can you give me a general overview of the game?

Habu: “There are a lot of games in the Digimon series, but this one specifically is based on the Digimon World series. The Digimon World series started in 1999, so it’s been going for about 18 years. The series has been loved by fans for quite a long time. The main concept would be specifically based on the Digimon virtual pet that started off the Digimon World series. The Digimon have a lifetime in this game, so they grow to a certain age and in time they’ll die. They don’t exist forever. In this short period, you have to figure out how to raise them, you have to feed them, train them for battle, that kind of stuff. If you raise them the right way, they’ll obey your orders. But if you don’t raise them the right way, they might disobey you or do something else. It all depends on how the player raises the Digimon. That’s the biggest concept.”

Just to clarify, they’ll eventually die even if you raise them correctly, right?

Habu: “Yes, they die either way. Whether you do it right or wrong, they have a certain lifetime. If you raise them the wrong way, their lifetime gets shorter and they’ll become bad Digimon.”

So we made it more difficult for the overseas release. We have “Easy,” “Normal,” and “Hard.” The Japanese version is Easy mode, then you have the higher difficulty versions for the overseas release. We also added more Digimon and more events—I can’t say the number specifically right now, but we added quite a lot of both.”

Habu: “A PS Vita localization wasn’t planned. The main purpose was to bring the game to PlayStation 4, to update the graphics for PlayStation 4, so we couldn’t put that back into PS Vita. The PS Vita market is pretty small overseas, so we wanted to bring out our best in PlayStation 4.”

You mentioned that Cyber Sleuth sold well, at least well enough to warrant an English dub for Next Order. How did you take to the positive reaction overseas?

Habu: “I wasn’t part of the PS Vita version of Digimon World: Next Order, someone else was in charge. (Editor’s Note: That would be Yasunori Fujiwara.) I was brought on for the overseas release. I wasn’t really sure how popular Cyber Sleuth was going to be in the states. We got to localize Cyber Sleuth because overseas fans signed a petition. We really felt the power of the fans. We’re already working on thinking about the next series, so we’d like to know what fans overseas think and try to put it into the new game.”

You have a new series coming out in Japan called Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters. What are your thoughts on it?

Habu: “I’m not on that project, but the Appli Monsters team wants to make something that targets a younger audience. It’s really different from Digimon overseas, which is more for adults. We want to deliver a good game to guys in their 20s and make a really high quality game for adults, so that’s the biggest difference from Appli Monsters. Maybe if Appli Monsters goes on for a couple of years and becomes really popular, we can make something that both Appli Monsters kid fans and adult fans can enjoy.”

Esse vídeo fez a versão de Vita parecer muito porca. Parece também muito inferior ao Re:Digitalize.
