Xenoblade Chronicles producer on localization changes, Western influence and more footage
The following comments come from Xenoblade Chronicles executive director Tetsuya Takahashi...
On changes from the Japanese version in the NA/EU version...
"We made some minor bug adjustments and revised some of the written content for localization. There were also some places where we made minor adjustments to the game balance, but none of the changes resulted in significant differences from the original (Japanese) version."
On appreciating western game design...
"I like Western game design a lot, so there were places where I referred to it without thinking about it. Xenoblade is not just influenced by Western game design; it has also undeniably inherited the DNA of Japanese RPGs."
