Quotations

«Whenever there's a problem, their response is quick. They explicitly answer to the toughest technical questions. And on the other hand, they also respond to even the smallest issues, like, if we ask for assistance when we can't get [the machine to run] a good performance in one of our scenes. Microsoft's support is one of the reasons why we've been able to schedule our RPG's release simultaneously with the Xbox 360's launch.»

«The volume of data in Enchant Arms won't fit into a single DVD. It's an RPG, so we're thinking it would be inevitable that we release it on two discs. But to be honest, that's even looking grim. We're not counting in the pre-rendered movies, and we're already in this situation. So we've got a bit of a headache. We're trying to come up with various solutions, such as compressing the data. The Xbox 360 allows data to be read from the hard drive, so there shouldn't be much stress when it's used [compared to playing from DVD]. The memory is another point in terms of transfer speed. The Xbox 360 comes with 512MB of main memory, which is very helpful. But on the other hand, the transfer rate from DVD-ROM is about 7MB per second at slowest. So if we go by simple calculation at that rate, it'll take 60 seconds to fill up the 512MB [when playing from DVD].»
