A Gust of fresh air

Gust certainly has a full plate, as they're currently working on four titles. While specifics on the platforms for these games weren't shared, it's very likely some of them are coming over to Switch. We know at least one of them is an Atelier title, which certainly seems like a lock for Switch.

This information came from an ActuGaming interview with Gust producer Keisuke Kikuchi, who had a considerable amount to say on Fairy Tail, another project the company is tackling. Check out his comments on the title below.

The majority of the interview is focused on Fairy Tail. Here are the key tidbits:

- they chose to start the story from the middle to have a game with many characters and more advanced developments
- these developments include techniques and magic
- they also wanted to start when the guild is destroyed so players have to start from scratch while having all content in place
- Hiro Mashima was very open to the addition of original content
- all new content from costumes to new scenarios were approved by a committee composed of Mashima and others
- the focus is on existing characters, not creating new ones
- they are considering bonus items and possibly additional scenarios as DLC
- as far as dealing with the arcs of the story not covered in the game, that would best be done in a future installment
