Details are as below.Tales of Exilia | NAMCO BANDAI Games Official Website

Yoshihado Producer (hereinafter referred to as Yoshiharu):
It is a product of NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc., thank you.


Moderator:
It's a 15th anniversary title and it's been a series that has been going on for fifteen years now.

Yoshiagaru:
In December 1995, the first title was Super Nintendo's"Tales of Phantasia"is not it. I was not in charge of development at that time, I was in charge of promotion. It was a time when RPG was pretty popular at Super Nintendo at that time.

Moderator:
At that time Namco put out RPG was feeling "It is surprising".

Yoshiagaru:
Even though I had it out little by little, though. In the first place as the reason I entered Namco, the title I thought this was funny"Megamitensei incarnation"It was. Megami Tensei was originally from Namco.

Moderator:
It is about "digital devil stories".

Yoshiagaru:
It 's kind of a wonderful future. I did that, it was really fun, but since I did not have that kind of knowledge at the time, I do not know the company named Atlas yet, I wanted to make a goddess reincarnation, when I entered Namco, I did not make anything )

After that, I was doing RPG as well but it was hard to get root, or I did not have a long-lasting title. So, it was "Tales of Phantasia" that I could do with Super Nintendo to make a big one title.

This is a secret story, but at the beginning the title was "Tale Fantasia". There was no "ob".

Those familiar with the game industry may know, but it is former president of Namco and now he is an honor counselorMasaya NakamuraThere is a person called Mr. and you can see the software that this person made. I got a presentation of new software and said that "Tale Fantasia is funny English." Because I say "obviously".


Moderator:
In one word it became "Tales of Phantasia"?

Yoshiagaru:
Because I can not say "No, it is wrong" (laugh)

Actually, I made a leaflet with "Tail Fantasia", but later changed the logo with S and OF.

Moderator:
But since that time songs were in there.

Yoshiagaru:
It continues till now but inserting songs and putting in sounds, the battle scene has not changed since then at the battle scene. The basic skeleton was made from the time of Super Nintendo Entertainment.

The most impressed thing about Super Nintendo was that I heard that the human voice can be heard as it is. Because it was not at that time. Would you like to go to an exhibition and talk about business? So I prepare a voice for business negotiation and put it out from ROM, but I do not think that voices are coming out from ROM, I thought that it was video, "I can not divide it out of ROM" I was told, "No, that's true, then I will do it again" then I handed the controller and I can operate as it is, so it was surprising, "Oh, that's true."


Moderator:
And when I moved from Super Nintendo to PlayStation, the movie entered.

Yoshiagaru:
I agree. Since PS is a disc medium, movies are included. Even though I put the theme song at the very beginning, I feel like I want to play games with the sense that I am watching television animation, is not it that the animation opens up? I thought that I wanted to do that in the game, so I made it by putting in animation movies,"Tales of Destiny"was.

Moderator:
Does that mean the skeleton of now?

Yoshiagaru:
I agree. It is also from Destiny that tie-up with theme songs is an artist.


Moderator:
Whether to put a theme song like to animate like to put a voice, where is the base?

Yoshiagaru:
Role playing game's role is not it? That's why the hero does not speak like Dorakue. Player = Since it is a hero, the main character does not talk. In "Tales of" this is different, the hero has a setting as a character, also has a personality, we will talk. So, strictly I am making it thinking that it may be different from role playing game, I often make it thinking that it is "character playing game" well.

Enjoy your character yourself. What kind of behavior does the character do, what kind of world saves the character, story that develops mainly on the character?

Moderator:
To show the character is that the "Tales of" series has been doing all the time.

Yoshiagaru:
I wanted to make something like a world story, setting, they made adventure and made a story.

Moderator:
Even in Tales of the past, I remember about pretty much the characters, did not they? I always remember Rion and so on. I felt like I was still surviving.

Yoshiagaru:
I agree. Because there are each background story, there are personality, so let each stand up. By expressing such parts properly, that character will become the only character, I am making such a way of making it.


Moderator:
Does not it make it hard to make the next character?

Yoshiagaru:
No, there is. Especially I always think that I'm in trouble with Ojisan characters. Since there are obvious parts of adventure game or adventure drama, that is why people who have experience and know things properly will want to tell young people something like that.

Moderator:
"Tales of Graces"Speaking of, Malik.

Yoshiagaru:
Yes Yes. Even though its odysan also has various personality and bad things, there are various things, but it will be the same each time. But if this is OBASAN it is not quite a picture (lol)

Moderator:
There are not many Obasan characters. However, I have no choice but to dare to go there, milf or the like.

Yoshiagaru:
I'm a milf ... ... I will think about it next time.

Moderator:
In the series, even the character of the same scientist is a little bit different in character, and you think carefully each time. It must be hard work.

Yoshiagaru:
Of course there are character images that I would like to draw, but as I make it, obviously there is a balance as a game, and I will not go to make everyone a scientist. Then the role sharing comes out, thinking there, I think that it will become the same as the previous time and I will think about how to change it there.


Moderator:
Because there are also roles in battle.

Yoshiagaru:
This is also a game, it can not be helped. In that sense, the heroine can play more than the hero. Girls, like the first fantasia, can be an artist, a heroine of the royal road in recovery, or even a heroine to fight.

On the other hand, it is rather difficult to make the hero a magician.

Moderator:
It is difficult to be called the hero and the art system.

Yoshiagaru:
There are people who can use art, but after all it is absolutely a player character, so I'm thinking in action scenes "cut it!" I do not want to destroy those pleasures of such players.

Well, even though I really want to make different characters at all.

Moderator:
It is too hard to choose a voice actor that fits the character.

Yoshiagaru:
Well, in the case of the "Tales of" series, the hero is basically an audition. There are many people from big names to young people, but I choose flat from them.

Moderator:
Is it Mr. Yoshihide who decides it?

Yoshiagaru:
No, we all do it. This character has an image called with such a voice.

Moderator:
Is there a great big name dropped?

Yoshiagaru:
I drop it normally. When the big name is applied, "Oh, this guy is awesome!" Is the first time, but when I listen to the voice there are times when it turns out to be "a bit different", so I am sorry It will be said that.

Well, even if it says an audition, it does not decide only the hero, when asking and asking, if the image is different, say "Do you want you to do a slightly different role?", See the script of other roles I have something to say.


Moderator:
Well, do you have another role as receiving the audition for the main character?

Yoshiagaru:
You have a pretty good idea. Listening at the audition, "There is something I think that it is better for you". Because everyone is talking and listening. So, this man came by the role of heroine, but there are also things to let a boy do.

"Tales of Rebirth"Akino Watanabe at the time of Mr. Akino was like that.

Moderator:
Mao? Mao thought that Mr. Watanabe would aim from the beginning.

Yoshiagaru:
No, he came first as Claire. But I thought that boys were better, after all I heard that boys are also doing it, so if you try it, it is perfect. There is such a thing.

Moderator:
In the case of Tales, even when recording, we record everyone as much as possible.

Yoshiagaru:
It seems like an animation recording is not it. I am making a picture and recording while looking at the screen, but in the case of a game there are many things that the screen is not made. I do it without looking at the game screen, so it is true even if you record separately if you say it. Because you can fit later.

But in the case of Tales, there is a story and you have to do a play, so there is inevitable multiplication, so if you record separately, there may be things that the connection is different. Since it is not easy to do, I collect as much as possible, record it one after another, cut it out and make it data, but as it is a play, I like the voice actor 's ease of being like "I received this like this" Is not there? I want to make use of that part, so I basically have them gather.


Moderator:
Is not it difficult to gather up pretty well?

Yoshiagaru:
I can only do it on weekends in a week. Everyone was filled with another recording on weekdays. So there are many Saturdays and Sundays recorded.

Moderator:
But why do not you think that this series will continue and you have to change it somewhere else, or try to make time?

Yoshiagaru:
No, it is already frequent. Every time I think each time. As I thought, once I finished my mother ship, I think I should do next time. In general, the next guy is already running at the stage when it finishes one at a time, but further thinking what to do with the next guy, two years later, or three years later will be something to make it completely different ,And. For example, what if it is not Tales?

Moderator:
Is there something like Tales' unique binding?

Yoshiagaru:
I think that it is also among the feelings of everyone that you must stop this. When you take it all in once and try to shape it, it is said, "Do you think that this Tales is OK?"


Moderator:
To take in new things, to preserve elements of promises such as showing characters.

Yoshiagaru:
I agree. In the case of Tales, I always think that I'd like to keep the place where the enemies also have reasons.

Moderator:
It is not a simple good and evil dualism. There are reasons for fighting them, they look like.

Yoshiagaru:
I want to bring something realistically there. It is fantasy and it is a story of a completely different star, but if you do a completely different way of thinking because it is different star people, you think that it will become a thing that can not have a sympathy. It is a completely different world because it is a place I want to feel like being affinity or real, if possible, but in reality the things being talked about are real.

If you say now, you say that Osama bin Laden was killed. I would like to take in what I mean. Continuing to do it for a long time with the retaliation, that is nothing but I think that I would like to do something like a business that can not avoid doing.

Moderator:
You often say "I want to leave trauma in the hearts of players." I think that there are many stories "stabbing" like that with Tales, but what is the reason for that?

Yoshiagaru:
There is a story of good punishment often, but even enemies have enemies and there are reasons, they are not really bad guys, or they may become friends, that is really realistic I think that it is something I want to put in such things.

Although games are still apt to be seen lightly yet, I think that I would like to make a story properly, not to be defeated by animation or movies.

Moderator:
That is 15 years, and so on. I also do an event every year. I will do it this year in Pacifico Yokohama.

Yoshiagaru:
I did it in Yokohama, people at a remote place did not come so much but this year we have live viewing too.

Moderator:
I really enjoyed seeing that nori once, I can see the various series, I thought that let's try other than my favorite series.

Yoshiagaru:
Even in the game"Tales of the World Radiant Mythology"There is a festival software like something like that, but that kind of feeling is developed in real. Afterwards voice actor crossed the character and raw voice actor was seen. This time the guest artistMisonoPlease come and sing it.


Moderator:
Once I looked back on the previous "Tales of" series, let's ask Baba producer about this "Tales of Exilia" to ask. Mr. Baba, thank you.

Baba producer to appear.


Hideo Baba Producer (Baba):
Hello everyone. My name is Bandai of Namco Bandai. Thank you.


Moderator:
That's 15th anniversary title "Exilia".

Baba:
I am doing my best. Now it is already a lot of fun, at the stage of entering the pursuit from now on, it is the stage of entering adjustment.

Yoshiagaru:
It seems like selling soon (lol)

Baba:
Not long yet, it takes a lot of time to adjust (laugh)

Moderator:
This time there are two heroes, and you first choose which point of view to start with.

Baba:
I agree. If you start with Mira's point of view, choose Mira, Jude if you start with Jude, respectively. A big story of the story does not change, but it has become a mechanism that the way of engagement will change depending on each viewpoint.


Moderator:
Which way do you want to play?

Baba:
From my personal point of view, I am a man, so I would like to do from Mira.

Yoshiagaru:
Is that so? If you were a boy, would not you like to try it with a man?

Baba:
so? I am using Mira when I play in development now. There is no special meaning though (laugh)

Moderator:
This time there are 2 main characters and character designKosuke FujishimaWith the teacher,Momota InanomiBy the teacher 's two people.

Yoshiagaru:
I wanted to do this all the time.

Moderator:
Was not it so messy?

Yoshiagaru:
The story of "I want to do" was done for two days ago and I could not do it because the timing did not match or I was busy, but this time it took me a long time to prepare.

Baba:
Because there is a 15th anniversary and the flow which I have cultivated so far, I definitely want to do it with the two of you. However, there are also differences in the touch of the picture, so I tried very finely about the point that you must adjust the taste so that the two characters can coexist even in the game.


Moderator:
Did you feel comfortable to draw the hero separately with two people?

Yoshiagaru:
Rather it 's funny, please say.

Moderator:
Which one was you, Mr. Inan, did you decide which way to make Mr. Fujishima sensei?

Baba:
That was decided at the stage when we decided the character setting in us.

Moderator:
This time, it seems that there are two heroes, but I heard that they are doing a new challenge besides that, but what is the story like?

Baba:
There are things that I want to return to the origin, I am making strong fantasy colors, such as strengthening the spirit color or strongly. Because the base is "Tales of", I hold this opening, this time, hosting this gore ★ AssociationEuphor tableBecause I am doing what I am asking to do.


Moderator:
How is it, for the first time, I think that it is the first time to form a tag with the Euphor table in the game.

Baba:
In realityGod EaterI was watching the opening of the game so I thought that the quality part was already guaranteed. Among them, there was a part that expresses the world of the game called Tales, but I understand it well well, the animation itself moves quite nicely and it has a tremendous background drawing finely And, even if I look at the whole thing, the intention that we want to convey in the movie was expressed exactly on the contest, and there is nothing to say.

Yoshiagaru:
As Tales,"Tales of Symphonia"Because I had OVA done all the time. The reputation of Sinfonia is also very good, and as us we have a sense of security "If you do it so far, do it."

Moderator:
This time, Skit (Makuma skit by appearing characters) is Euphor table as something?

Baba; I agree. I am letting you do with the drawing of Euphor table.

Moderator:
This time the skit also enters the battle scene.

Baba; This time I implemented a fighting chat, and during the battle a character will come in to the upper left of the screen and talk.

Yoshiagaru:
Even though we had a bargaining call in the middle of the battle in the middle of the battle, it was difficult to understand because there were other calls and monster voice included, but this time I feel more fighting and collaborating this time It is designed to give you the feeling you are doing.


Moderator:
The battle of this time is a link system, and even in combination with Jude and Mira, other characters, you can link together using the link, right?

Baba:
I agree. Different characteristics change depending on the linking character, and the content of support changes.

Moderator:
Can you select the person you want to link?

Baba:
It's easy to choose. Pochitto with the button.

Moderator:
I am interested in characters like Elysee this time, but are you linking with Elise for a while and have something good, do you get a good liking?

Baba:
Everyone hears it, that is a little secret (lol)

Moderator:
There might be something good.

Baba; It may be there.

Moderator:
By the way, what does 'Exillia' mean?

Baba:
Although it is a coined word, there is a word "Exilion" which expresses a much bigger numeral than "Million" or "Virion" in English, replacing it with "Exilia". I put in various meanings, but one thing, I mean a lot of people in life and encountered a lot of events.

Moderator:
There are always catchphrases in Tales, but why did you do this time?

Yoshiagaru:
Did you decide?

Baba:
I have decided! It is "RPG of unbelievable beliefs".

Yoshiagaru:
It seems to be Baba-kun. Baba-kun is a royal road, shiny and likes what I've heard, pretty much like the producer likes it. I love guys who go on a so-called royal road with Zhodong. The theme song artists are also so. Really is already big name.

Baba:
No, it's easy to say, it's not an easy decision (lol)

Yoshiagaru:
I did not say it was easy to decide (lol)


Moderator:
Does the song you ask for this time Hamasaki-san are also closely linked to the story?

Baba:
I have always talked about what the intention of Excel is, "what kind of intention is there in the story" and "what kind of things do the characters want to convey"? Please put in such a message. "

Moderator:
Hamasaki-san was not served?

Baba:
...... No, it's not a bad idea but let's make good things for each other (lol)

Yoshiagaru:
Yeah, not limited to this time, I will show you all the stuff like "It is such a character" and "It is such a story" and I will make it.

Baba:
Of course, this time, of course, it is soft and interacting (laugh)

Moderator:
There is a festival at the end of this month, but will information come out there as well?

Baba:
This time, I was sticking to the event on 29th May, and there are some parts that I can not quite talk about, so this time Mr. Sawashiro prepared a video letter.

Miyuki Sawashiro (hereinafter referred to as Sawashiro):
Hello everyone. It is Sawashiro Miyuki who played "Mira = Maxwell" as one of the double hero in "Tales of Xillia". Machi ★ Assobi, are you enjoying it?

I am sure I'm all right. Please have a few valuable hours of your holiday and let me tell you a little about Tales. I played Mira, she is a spirit. It seems that it will become spoiled when you explain more roles, so I can explain it to the point so far, but as you saw it, it's rather a handsome man, and a willing man also seems to be strong I am playing a woman.


Q:
What kind of character is Mira?


Sawashiro:
The story is spun from the two perspectives of Mira and Jude, but since the beginning began with Jude's viewpoint, Mira knows a lot of things I do not know with that he is a mysterious person who knows something in various ways Although I go on and on and on and on and on and on, I myself was watching Mira with the same perspective as Jude that I do not really know what this person is, a good person or a bad person.

After I received the script of Mirarto at hand, I got to touch the place like "Oh, I thought like this," then I went a little bit shoulder side and I could walk together, I think that it is a very cute person who is not only feelings I do not have, such as taking care of my friends, being in love with someone, having to fight against those who have a justice different from myself very much became.

It's a serious person as "raw" is attached, but I feel like I touched a very wonderful story.


Q:
What kind of lady is Mira seen from Mr. Sawashiro?


Sawashiro:
Still in distance sense, I was the first pajamas party at a company with my colleague at work, it was about like, "Eh, that's better like this!" Or "Eh, that would definitely say more from myself It's about the first time I've told a comment like "I want to see it slowly from now on, like I'd like to see it slowly, Inside of me, I feel Mira with that distance feeling without permission.

Q:
By the way what is a pajamas party?

Sawashiro:
I wonder what girls gather to get along and have a party to reveal the night (lol)

Q:
About the other main character Jude.


Sawashiro:
When I heard the voice of Jude who was doing Mr. Yuanaga who is doing it first, it is a boy that is firm about not helping if I do something wrong, "I guess I can live alone, I can not live without help from myself "Sounds like a very firm boy," I heard. However, in the game, it was the setting that Mira with legs on the ground and Jude, a boy whose mind has not been decided yet.

Jude is quite close to Mira, but he has a temperament, too many people take care of it, do not think too much in myself, if someone thinks too much "Korat!" It is a child who can do it properly and get out of the way properly and go ahead, but if you say Mira, how many batambatans shut the door, Well, it is a person who is saying "What is it?" So, there are some situations where it is impossible to solve problems such as solving quickly, "I should have consulted it soon There is something that seems to be like ".

It is the same as it is seeing the two people, but it is somewhat different. Jude is a promising boy in the future who seems to become a bigger man more surely if he can get a serious "life" (laugh)

Q:
What about memories at the time of recording?


Sawashiro:
Anyway, for the past year or so I have been told that the words "more sense of mission" have been produced over and over and over again, but it is difficult, anyway. As Senbon Knock, I do the same scene again and again, so do it anyway and think where the problem part is, think about someone who is not doing the scene, "Like this is it?" It is a rare scene to talk about rare, as it seems that somehow caught squatting, managed to finish a break and managed to finish when finished.

Apparently, it is the impression that it was done only works. I thought as if all the staff members were so tenacious that they were all ah, it was a scene that seemed to be "an adult with a fighting spirit is amazing".

It is an impression that you participate in one culture called Tales, rather than going out to the game. There is a person who is making important things for 15 years, there are people who touched it, but still it is interesting to touch new things and it has been continuing for fifteen years, so it is no longer a culture, In addition to that one word, as you like it, as you can fight after all, I imagine that you can say "If you fight in Mira of Sawashiro as it is!" It was.

Q:
Please give a message to the people I see!


Sawashiro:
As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, people in our staff are increasingly enthusiastic and building up characters, so I think that I became more loved characters. Since there are a lot of cast people who really caught up with it, I hope that you can move it and fight or let it fight.

There is a Tales event every year at Pacifico Yokohama on May 29, but I will also participate for the first time this year from Mr. Yuanaga and this year. It seems that more and more information will be released there, so if you have time, I hope you will come and visit there too. Well then, let's have fun! It was Sawashiro Miyuki!


Baba:
We are still working on the exilia yet, but I think that I would like to deliver it to everyone in the early stages, making it even better. There are also things that are 15th anniversary, so a lot of staff are working hard so hard, I hope you will look forward to it. We look forward to your continued support of the Tales of Series in the future. Thank you for today.
