Fairy Tail devs discuss the series creator's input on the game

Fairy Tail as a property wouldn't exist if not for Hiro Mashima, creator of the original manga. Thanks to his hard work, Fairy Tale has jumped to anime, movies, and now a console game. In an interview with Comicbook.com, game producer Keisuke Kikuchi reveals that Mashima is deeply involved with the game as well.

"The game's story primarily focuses on the Grand Magic Games and Tartaros arcs, so it's in line with the original canon. As for the original features such as character episodes, quests, and various other elements, we do submit our proposals to the original publisher Kodansha as well as Mashima-san himself to review and approve. ...there are just so many characters in the world of Fairy Tail, and we really had a hard time trying to select the playable characters. So when we did that, we took it to Mashima-san and he also provided valuable advice on each character."
