Interview: Lord of Arcana producer, Takamasa Shiba
We were recently fortunate enough to sit down with the producer of Square Enix’s upcoming PSP actioner Lord of Arcana, Takamasa Shiba, at the firm’s PSP Showcase in Tokyo.
The game – which is completely different to card-based predecessor, Lord of Vermillion – is much like Capcom’s Japanese super-smash, Monster Hunter; Shiba-san looked as though he’d been getting a good Monster Hunter grilling from the assembled press on the day.
Shiba talked about about the rivalry with Monster Hunter, the game’s lack of online co-op, Zombie Dragons, what he wants from the PSP2 and the rise of portable gaming.
Lord of Arcana launches in Europe on February 4 and the US on January 25. It released in Japan last October.
