Of course, when it comes to Japanese role-playing games, in any role-playing game in Japan you're supposed to collect a huge number of items, and magic, and you've got to actually combine different items together to make something really different.

I think what a lot of people see as unique is using different technology or different techniques [to make games], but I feel like, as long as you have a core that's unlike others, that's what 'unique' is.

Of course, I would like to know what [Sony and Microsoft] do with their machines, but there is no game that I feel the need to go see. So far, from what I’ve seen on the show this year, there does not seem to be any games that I would like to have created myself.

The obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences.

When I look back I can tell that after I started having a family, I certainly wanted to make games that could be played with all the family members.

To create a new standard, you have to be up for that challenge and really enjoy it.

Anything that is impractical can be play. It's doing something other than what is necessary to continue living as an animal.
