"Please wait a little.... little longer"

"Every year we have this kind of questions."

"When will it be released?"

"Until now it has been 8 years after its first trailer was shown in 2006."

"First we planned to make it for PS3, though we changed to PS4 because it has been 8 years already."

"By the way is PS4 available in Thailand?"

"It takes a lot of time for JRPG until it is ready for sale.

"From now on there will be events about FFXV coming. Please wait for them."

*He really said "surprised"

**He forgot to answer about FFX-3**!!

**That's quite short answer

**I think he may not know the detail of this project

**Someone asked again "Is that your favourite Thai food?" He simply replied Oishii Oishi (delicious)

Shinji Hashimoto visited Thailand Comicon Event @Siam Paragon, Bangkok in 10 May 2014. He showed the old FF 25th Anniversary clip and old FFXV trailer from E3. After that he talked about FF History, his work, Q&A, etc.My group've chance to sat in the front row, recorded sound clip and video. (You can see at below.) I wrote some interesting information and Q&A in Thai. Thanks my friend (ultimaweapon) for translated Q&A to English.FF 25th Anniversary Clip and old FFXV trailerMr. Shinji talked about his work. This clip start when he talk "it has been 8 years" (FFXV)---------------------------------When Hashimoto started talking about FFXV, everyone in the hall clapped their hand and cheered. He smiled and said...FF Fans: (laughing)**PS4's sold in Thailand since November 2013**---------------------------------[Q&A with FF Fans]**I'm the one who ask Question 1A : We would like to keep it secret. It just only a few months from now. I'm pretty sure you will be surprised.*Actually it is not only in June, there will be many events from now on such as San Diego Comicon, Tokyo Game Show, and others.We might tell you what is our plans, but it's better you see by yourself at Tokyo. (laugh)A : Our company has developed a lot of mobile games. And the development team is quite big.Our mobile games will become popular. For console game such as FFXV is also nicely done.This clip start from Question 3A : We think it's could grow up. If our games are released, please support them.If not, you know what will happen to that game.A : We are sorry. They are secret. Please wait. The game will come out fantastic.Well, is Kingdom Hearts popular in Thailand?FF Fans: Yes it is!!A : Then please kindly wait a while. We are preparing those information.**Reference : http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-16-sony-sells-all-its-square-enix-shares-for-28m A : We don't think this became a big news. (laugh)Back in 2001, Square had financial problem and Sony had bought our stocks.Now the situation is contrary.From that time we have good support from customers for our products, so SQEX is back on its legs, but Sony has declined.The President of both companies had negotiation and resulted as everyone knew.We did not have argument. Since once Sony helped us, so it was the time we help Sony back.Sale of PS4 is no problem and it is still available.(Mr. Hashimoto wanted to convey that SQEX did not have financial problem.But Sony needed to have better cash flow from SQEX selling stocks.)A : Duty of developers is to create games those satisfy players.If a game in developemnt seems to be not interesting, we will terminate the project.A : When we checked the quality of the game, we did not satisfy. (so it was cancelled.)If we would develop it for console, we think it should be a game for adults.(The target of Chocobo series is children.)Anyway thank you for your comments. We will consider about this game.A : Your Japanese is very amazing!! FFVII is special for me.I always heard this kind of questions and I feel like I am Hashimoto XV, Hashimoto Kingdom Hearts III, Hashimoto Chocobo Series.These are lots of hard works. (laugh)We know that everyone want us to remake FFVII. From now on we have to realize the old FF series.But now we've to released FFXV first. It's been 8 years, so we've to released it first.A : We have Dissidia for PSP. You want us to port it for PS Vita?FF Fans : We are asking for new episode!!!A : You want a new one!!? for PS Vita? Oh. I'll inform to the development team.If you have anything you want to tell them, you can tell me.You also can apply for jobs at SQEX. There is possibility for everyone but it might not be much as we have people from around the world looking to work with us. Our company also requires high qualification for new staff. But if anyone is interested, you may apply via our Homepage.A : If the game did not satisfy players, the team would reconsider how to improve characters or other aspects to meet players' expectation.A : If FF fans in Thailand play English version, that would be.... no problem?**About CGI, I will inform to the development team, which now this team is developing a new project that I cannot reveal any detail. (FFXV and FF Agito)This request about CGI movie is new. I'll try to inform our staff every messages from Thai Fans.---------------------------------[Q&A with Press]A : JRPG has unique characteristics. We think no one can imitate. Therefore JRPG can keep moving forward.A : It depends on the decision of the director. Each director has his own idea of "fantasy".FF will be back to old style or not depends on the director of that project.A : Yesterday we also had business matching here, and we had discussion with many Thai animation companies.We think Thai companies are capable and we will see which points we could cooperate together.About events, we have to check our schedule.If we are available, we will come.A : This question is quite hard to answer. Each FF has different directors.We have to assign the director to match the concept of each game.A : It must be FFVII that everyone keeps asking me.Because it is the first FF in 3D, based on sci-fi world, and the story between Cloud and Sephiroth.I was impressed. And there was a lot of secrets in Advent Children which made me love it.A : I want to see the big temple that located near the river.I heard that the temple is very beautiful, but I've never been there.This is my chance. (It could be Wat Arun)After arriving, I have been only this place and hotel. I had a chance to see protesters. Those are all.In addition, Fried Curry Crab is very delicious.A : We have discussed with Mr. Nobuo and we have already arranged in many countries.If Thai Fans request for it, we will inform him.You can request to some companies in Thailand and they could contact us for the concert.It is not hard. If the concert has its popularity in that place, we can arrange.---------------------------------After that, our group have a chance to take photo and get his autograph. Then my friend helped me asked the last question.[My personal question]A : Do you love this game? (surprised)I will check our staff about the possibility of the new one.---------------------------------More pictures from my camera : https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.686014011456723.1073741859.147549281969868&type=1
