Could this be Xseed’s first Nintendo 3DS game?

When an enemy targets a party member, like the group’s mage Yuris, the game draws a glowing line connecting the two fighters. Did you notice during last week’s presentation these lines were color coded?

Shortly after AQ Interactive absorbed Cavia and its other studios, Taro Yokoo announced he was leaving the company at an unannounced date.

This new battle video shows off The Last Story’s combat, recently explained in detail by director, Hironobu Sakaguchi, at a presentation in Tokyo.

Mistwalker head Hironobu Sakaguchi demoed The Last Story’s battle system by showing boss battles. Afterward, he showed character customization and oddly enough banana attacks on innocent people.

The upcoming Last Story presentation in Japan…is being given a TV commercial.

The Last Story’s main quest clocks in at 30 hours, maybe more if you explore every nook and cranny in dungeons. Afterwards, you can replay the Wii game using your saved data.

The Last Story emphasizes replayability over length.

Sakaguchi and a member of the Blue Dragon team share the origins of The Last Story.

Korg DS-10 Plus is a powerful tool and to demonstrate its versatility one musician made an entire album with AQ Interactive’s touch screen synthesizer.

Yokoo explained he does not have a dispute with his employer and the reason for leaving is so he can increase the breadth of his work.

Marvelous Entertainment’s 3DS zoo-simulator is being worked on by AQ Interactive, who own Xseed and the teams from Cavia, Feelplus and Artoon.

Famitsu posted a long list of Nintendo 3DS games announced for Japan, which includes a few new titles like Tales of the Abyss, Cubic Ninja and a Puzzle Bobble game from Square Enix.

AQ Interactive de-brands Artoon and Feelplus into AQ Interactive group.

Cavia, the studio behind Drakengard and Nier, has been dissolved.

AQ Interactive may be dropping out of the video game publishing business, but their North American subsidiary Xseed is not.
