Takeshi Arakawa and Yoshinori Kitase were in the Uk promoting Dissidia: Final Fantasy and IGN submitted to them questions provided by their readers.

Kitase and Arakawa answered a wide range of questions from characteristics that define Final Fantasy, the PSP game Dissidia, a possible continuation of the FFVII compilation, and whether Japanese voice options for FFXIII will be available.

Here are some key quotes from the pair, check the full article at the source.

[Characteristics of Final Fantasy]

Yoshinori Kitase: One of the characteristics of this series is that it sometimes revolves around crystals. The characteristics of the series may have been a little bit vague up until this point, so with this particular game, Dissidia, we're going to put the characters into two groups; the evil side, Chaos, and the good side, Cosmos. By this particular division, the vague concept of the series might become a little bit clearer.

[On favourite characters]

Yoshinori Kitase: Because I was directly involved in the development of VII, I like the characters Cloud and Sepiroth.

Takeshi Arakawa: I played Final Fantasy V a lot, as a player rather than a creator, and there's a character called Bartz who's my personal favourite.

[Possible further FFVII projects]

Yoshinori Kitase: In Japan, the Blu-ray version of Advent Children has just been released. That's meant to make a mark to end all of these productions. But, all these games of FFVII have just been spawned off the cuff with small ideas; one idea just turns into another. In this sense, there's a possibility we might end up creating more FFVII games in the future

[Japanese voice options for FFXIII]

Yoshinori Kitase: Obviously, when we talk about XIII it's for PS3 and Xbox – with PS3 being on Blu ray there would be enough memory, but on Xbox probably not. At the moment we're thinking of releasing the voice in English only
