Two new interviews are up from the developers of FFTA2. This last one is pretty interesting since it talks about a Job Class that never made it into the game and how originally the story was going to be much darker and Luso was originally from Ivalice and not from some other world.

Ugh, I think my eyes just rolled out of my head!!

Luso was living happily in a village, and then in the opening of the game, all the villagers were killed.

Yuichi Murasawa That’s rather dark. [Laughs]

You mean, rather dull, don't you? "Hero's village destroyed!" is like half the JRPGs ever made.

...the idea for the dark story came up before the concept for the game was settled. If we’d gone in that direction, I wonder what kind of game we would have ended up with. [Laughs]

Hiroaki Kato I’d be curious to see. [Laughs]

We already saw that. IT WAS FINAL FANTASY TACTICS. YOU KNOW, WITH RAMZA??? Why won't you give us more of THAT!?

Man, the [laugh] is like a punch to my soul. ;_;
