| I wonder what specific action/adventure games they'd publish, if they do what Iwasaki says and take that route once in a while...... |

The interview is, conservatively speaking, highly awesome in every way. All the details Iwasaki gives are good to know.
Like this:

So, is there a special meaning to the name "XSEED?" How'd you come up with it?
Jun Iwasaki
The "X" in XSEED points at many words such as experts, experience, extreme, expectation...
Those are all words we would like our clients to immediately think of when they come into contact with our group.
"SEED" points at each one of us, as we challenge ourselves to something we believe will grow, as well as the product we will be handling.
"Taking our past experience and bringing ourselves, our clients, and the products to full bloom," is what's in the name. |
Here I thought maybe it was just an FF8 reference

"Considering the amount of time necessary from initial evaluation to localization and then to the actual release (for RPGs), realistically speaking, four titles a year (one every quarter) would be ideal. But again, we are not limiting ourselves to just RPGs, so we may have more titles down the road."
an RPG every 3 months (or 4 whenever in the year)? that's pretty much the best announcement since they said they'd bring over SH3. what i want to know is, how far 'down the road' is he talking when he says there are more? |

Since the company is in its infancy, I'd bet he meant at least after 2006 for that amount of publishing. More than 4 games a year would be a lot for a small company like theirs. I'm impressed enough that they're tackling these 2 big projects.

As mentioned above, XSEED started off late last year doing marketing projects for Japanese clients (which we currently still do). The work ranges from advertising planning, creative, market research/evaluation/group testing to PR. Through our relationships and through these marketing services, we were fortunate to land these two titles earlier this year.

If that's true why didn't they announce that they had it instead of waiting?
I think also the Xseed is just a way to spell exceed and look cool doing it. He didn't mention that but I'd bet it's true. Nice interview. |
