MGS5 PSP & Torico Interviews

Posted in Interviews, Japanese, News at 10:24 pm by yuka

The Last Guardian interview can be found here. One of the questions asked by the journalist to Ueda is ‘what is the name Trico stand for?’. Ueda answers “Torico can mean, to be charmed or taken captive, Child (ko) of Bird (tori), Bird-Cat (tori-neko). Apart from the cuteness of creatures, we also wanted to imply the wildness of the animal too in the title.”

In another interview, Kojima also mentions something interesting about the teaser site that was up for E3. He says that what looks like “5″ or “S” is 巳 – the kanji for Snake :) and because it looked like “e” too, they figured it’ll do as the E3 teaser site… and the “P” is for PSP. And it’s going to be based this time in Costa Rica. The full interview can be found here. (Metal Gear Arcade – how cool?)


Steam was advertising, but also, funny trailer. Made me sign up for a Beta.

Trico = The Last Guardian

Posted in 2009, E3, Japanese, News at 11:20 am by yuka

The Kojima Productions has definitely been ‘up to’ something, as can be seen here. The link from my previous article was basically the E3 special site. And rumours proved correct, this time.

FFseries continues on with the announcement of FF XIV.


What was known pre-E3 as Trico now has an official title: The Last Guardian. According to famitsu, Fumito Ueda told their journalist that they wanted to give the fans another source of joy to their lives.

Blood of Bahamut, comes out on 6th August in Japan. The soundtrack
 is due out on 12th August. An exclusive in-game code is to be attached to the CD, but what that in-game item might be, there has been no word.

A fan-made game trailer of Mega Man can be found here. Kind of like Paper Mario.
