![How was this team of veterans gathered? Was it difficult to hire everyone you wanted?
Katsuhisa Higuchi: I asked [Senario Writer Kazushige] Nojima and [Music Producer Hitoshi] Sakimoto to join partly because of our connections from our days at Square. Working with them felt like a reunion, and we were able to freely exchange and challenge one another's ideas. [Senario Draft Writer Keisuke] Makino, [Scenario Director Hironao] Fukuda and [Character Designer] Max [Berthelot] are all incredibly talented, and I was constantly inspired by them. Challenges are an inevitable part of development, but the creative freedom we had working on an entirely new title outweighed those difficulties.
What in your previous experience in the games industry has helped you with making Eternal Anima?
Higuchi: For me, it is the full breadth of my experiences. I have been making JRPGs for over 40 years, so I have encountered all kinds of situations that help inform how I approach challenges these days. Of course, we cannot know if a potential solution is the best course of action until we try it, but I believe there is value in simply knowing how to respond and move forward as a team.
What sets Eternal Anima apart from the other retro-inspired JPGs coming out recently?
Shioda: The biggest distinguishing feature of Eternal Anima is its Future Sight Battles. At first glance they may look like familiar turn-based battles, but experienced JRPG fans will notice the difference as soon as they play. We believe Future Sight Battles honor the legacy of this gameplay style, while also striving to progress the genre.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4krgnkyiqrcqlpfbj7zwwz5x/bafkreigsefmunwb6lgg2twruqaftao623buzcqpygknj5kh25rmcaqedkq)
