![Interviewer: Compared to the OG, it seems like this game will kick off fairly well in the heart of the story, which makes me curious how it will handle the sequence with Professor Gast's video tapes in Icicle Lodge. After all, Professor Gast is really a key character who lies at the origin of the story's drama.
Hamaguchi: That's a real insightful observation [laughs]. We've depicted that stuff in a really interesting way this time. Professor Gast's recordings in the Icicle Frostbelt are extremely important to Aerith's character, so we've made sure to cover that thoroughly. When people in the press ask how long it takes to acquire the Highwind, I always tell them you can get it around the four or five hour mark early in the game. The demo this time covers Chapter 4, and takes place right after you've obtained the Highwind. In the original game, you cross the Icicle Frostbelt after the Forgotten Capital, then head to the Great Cavity, then to Junon, then you get Mideel. So people are skeptical if four or five hours is enough time to cover that. I'll say that we've made the game start in a way that's totally different from what I expect people are imagining at this point. There's a truly huge surprise there in terms of how the game starts off, so I hope everyone looks forward to that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nswouy7gwa5nyag4shprsjob/bafkreibtqvo647fzootw343yihrvb24f44bniwugwnaj6pcpkk7irperei)
