- How often do you usually play games?

There are times when I play every night. Since the beginning of the year, I have a lot of time, so I play every night. I completed "Crisis Core - FFVII - Reunion" the day before the shoot. So I feel like I'm fresh out of it and surrounded by the miasma.

- What was your first encounter with the FF series and what are your memories of it?

My first encounter with FF was watching my friends play FF7 and FF8 when I was in elementary school. I wanted to get one myself, but they wouldn't let me buy one. I bought FF9 for the first time with my own allowance. I thought of that, so I went to a used game store and bought one that was a bit cheaper and played it, which was my first encounter with FF7.

- What are your memories of FF7 (the original) and your favorite characters?

I was a boy in school, so I liked Cloud, Sephiroth, Vincent, and other characters that tickled my middle-aged heart a little. Now I really like Tifa. When I was growing up, I liked to see factories. I get excited just by looking at the steamy, steampunk-like pipes that are gurgling and emitting steam, and I'm sure it all started with FF7.

- How would you describe the fun of FF7 to someone who has never played it?

It's the identity. Whether it is a movie, a play, a drama, or a game, I think that in the end, a story about the search for identity is what creates sympathy around the world. FF7 is a story about confronting one's own thoughts and past, thinking about justice, and considering the future of the planet. You think like this, but maybe it's not true, or maybe you want to do it this way, and while searching, you establish your own identity, make up your mind, and take a step forward. The difference in strength between a step taken without thinking and a step taken with an established identity is depicted as the characters grow. I think the sense of immersion and empathy there is strong in FF7, and I would like to recommend that aspect of the game.

- What was your impression when you played the previous title "FFVII Remake"?

I was excited simply because it was a remake of a game I knew, and I was able to feel the nuances of emotions and the atmosphere of the town with all five senses, which was not possible with the original game. There were many things that I learned anew, many things that surprised me, and I really felt that I was able to feel FF7 and the town of Midgar.

- What are your expectations for the latest "FFVII Rebirth"?

There are many things. I think we will go to Junon, Cosmo Canyon, and Costa del Sol. I think that the new, more beautiful images will bring out the character and atmosphere of each town. I'm the type of person who takes side trips to each and every one of these places, as well as the story, so I'm looking forward to that as well. Also, the date event, the gold saucer. In the original, we had separate save data for each of them. In the big picture, I think everyone is interested in Aerith. As a fan, I think that if the "remake" has a guardian of destiny named Fealer, there's no point in releasing the remake unless there's a change from the original. If we assume that "Fate" is the original FF7, I expect that there will be something different, and if we take "Lifestream" to mean something about life, then the title "Rebirth" seems to make sense.
