Nexon Held 'Durango: Wild Lands' Launching Preview Event
On January 9, 2018, Nexon hosted a 'Durango: Wild Lands' launching preview at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul, Jongno-gu. The event was organized to introduce the features of the new mobile game `Durango: Wild Lands`, which is being prepared for service, and was attended by representatives of Nexon, including Vice President Jung Sang-won, General Manager Noh Jung-hwan and What!Studio Producer Lee Eun-seok. Jung Sang-won, vice president of Nexon, said, “Durango: Wild Lands, which will be launched in 2018 as Nexon's first self-development, is a hard-earned title prepared with a sense of duty to throw an important meaning to the development direction of the existing mobile games.” Also, he said, “Users will be able to experience new pleasures that will be fun just by collaboration among users and exploration. I would like to ask you a lot of interest in the new adventure of ‘Durango: Wild Lands’.” ▲ ‘Durango: Wild Lands’ launching preview event was held. ▲ Vice President Jung Sang-won said, “I would like to ask you a lot of interest in the new adventure of ‘Durango: Wild Lands’.” According to the announcement, 'Durango: Wild Lands' is a pioneering open-world role-playing mobile game developed by Nexon's What!Studio. This game deals with a unique story that modern people, including users who have fallen into the era of dinosaurs due to an unidentified accident, start with their bare hands and pioneer wild lands. As an intention of the game development, Producer Lee Eun-seok from What!Studio said, “We are aiming at playground-like MMORPG, not an amusement park.” Then, he introduced about the play style by saying, “In the amusement park, the rides (contents) created by the developers are arranged, and the visitors merely enjoy along the route. But in ‘Durango: Wild Lands’, we offer a variety of nature, infinite land, animals of the dinosaur world, and playgrounds with a variety of production tools, rather than rides, and users can combine these materials to enjoy limitless possibilities and accumulate their own interesting experience.” As aforementioned, ‘enjoy limitless possibilities and accumulate their own interesting experience’ is one of the biggest features of ‘Durango: Wild Lands’. Likewise, users can infinitely enjoy the free and in-depth production, construction, cooking, and farming in the game. In-game combat, which is the main content of a regular role-playing game, is not essential for Durango: Wild Lands. It is possible to enjoy only lifestyle contents in the village. 'Durango: Wild Lands' is made up of a vast space that many users can gather together, and there is no instance dungeon to distinguish channels or enjoy just a few. The field where the game is going is composed of infinite islands that lead to the sea road so that users can enjoy the pleasure of making your own land and pioneering. Since in-game combat is not an essential factor, the user can continue his settled life such as making a favorite place to his own land, building a house, and cultivating a field, and the user also can create a tribe when passer-by becomes a neighbor. As the village grows larger, it often repeats friendship and fights with other tribes. ▲ Producer Lee Eun-seok said, “I will do my best to continue the service for more than 10 years.” Nexon launches formal service on January 25th through Android OS and iOS. At the time of domestic launch, it will start operating as a single server in Korea, gradually expanding its service area and ultimately plan to launch a single global server service. In order to provide seamless global service, overseas beta test is ongoing since July last year. Overseas beta testing in 14 countries, including the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Russia, Brazil, Australia, Vietnam, Canada, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, recorded about 2.8 million downloads as of January 8th, 2018. The number of unstable islands created during the test period is about 220,000, showing that it is getting high interest. Meanwhile, the business model of the game presents the convenience, time reduction, and exterior appearance to be a game that can be continued for a long time. The convenience services such as 'Durango: Archive' where the useful information of 'Durango: Wild Lands’ can be easily accessed, and 'Durango Maps', a web viewer that was first introduced in the overseas beta test, are also ongoing. Producer Lee Eun-seok expressed about the service by saying, “I have been through a lot of research and testing to develop a new game, and finally I am glad to be able to show it to domestic users on January 25th. I will do my best to make 'Durango: Wild Lands' go beyond Asia and be loved all over the world and continue to serve for more than 10 years.”

Interview with Producer of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius
On the afternoon of November 19th, 2017, Square Enix's 'Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Fan Festa 2017 (FFBE Fan Festa 2017) Seoul' was held at Ilchi Art Hall, located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 'FFBE Fan Festa 2017' is an event to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the "Final Fantasy" franchise and to thank users for being "Final Fantasy" mobile game with the highest number of downloads in the world. The Seoul event was the fourth event to be held in Paris, Taipei, and New York. Square Enix's Hirono Kei Producer and Fujimoto Hiroki Global Version Producer have had time to meet with over 350 pre-selected users. After finishing 'FFBE Fan Festa 2017 Seoul', the two producers had time to receive questions about this event and games. ▲ Acrofan interviewed two producers of 'Final Fantasy Brave Exvius' about events and games. Q1. What kind of pleasure did you like to have as a fan event while holding 'FFBE Fan Festa 2017 Seoul'? (Fujimoto) 'FFBE Fan Festa 2017 Seoul' is the 4th event of 'FFBE Fan Festa 2017', and since the corners of all the events are fixed to some extent, users probably knew the contents roughly. But what I wanted to emphasize in such an atmosphere was the new information part. It was prepared so that the users who came to the venue could think "I did well at participating in the event". (Hirono) There are two things I wanted to do but could not do. First, I wanted to stream live events for each event so that users around the world can get the latest information in real time. Also, as there are many events going on in the limited venue, I would like to invite all the users from all over the world to connect and enjoy the event together. Of course, these events could not be realized because the users are from all over the world and it is difficult to decide easily where to set the standard time. But I want to try it someday, so I am worried about how. Q2. What do you think about the Korean fans after participated in this event? (Fujimoto) During the Q & A session of the event, I felt that the users were very insightful. I was impressed that they were thinking deeply about the contents of the game, and I was once again able to realize that they are playing the game with their hearts. (Hirono) I was looking forward to the event since this is the first time holding the event in Korea, and I am very pleased that many of the core users have come. When hearing the voice of the core users in Korea as well as all the countries where the event is held, and I feel that what we are doing is never wrong. Also, some of users who warmly welcomed us and asked us to come again were very impressed. Q3. Did you have the most memorable user in the event today? (Hirono) It is memorable that the proportion of male users who participated in the event in Korea was higher than other previous events. (Fujimoto) At the end of the ceremony, we had time to give some gifts and a female user was additionally selected through rock-paper-scissors. She spoke Japanese very fluently, so I asked her how she studied Japanese. And I was so surprised to her answer that she studied by herself. Q4. While there are various types of mobile games using IP of Final Fantasy, what can you say about FFBE's differentiating personality to users who have not yet enjoyed this game? (Hirono) I think it is the greatest advantage of this game that users can simply enjoy the characteristics of mobile games, but they can also play RPG games with depth. There is a little inflexible, but I think this part is also a part of 'Final Fantasy' that can be appealing as a game. (Fujimoto) The biggest advantage is that users can enjoy the world of 'Final Fantasy' in a single game through various collaborations while enjoying a lot in the original world view. The collaboration with Final Fantasy XV can be a typical example. Q5. Unlike the recent mobile games, 2D dot graphics are being produced around the center. Is there a reason for this? (Hirono) 'Final Fantasy' series has gotten out of dot graphics and accepted new graphics, but among the long-time users, there is a perception, "Final Fantasy that we know is still in 2D graphics.” So, we have developed the game with the idea of "If it was a series of 2D dot graphics, would not it be like this?" Thanks to this, I think that it is another pleasure to meet the character that appeared in the 'Final Fantasy' series from the seventh to the present with the admirable image of 2D dot graphic. (Fujimoto) Of course, we do not stick everything in 2D dot graphics, but when we recall the summons during game play, we show the 3D graphic presentation such as that the summons break out the screen in 2D graphics. Q6. Compared to other Final Fantasy mobile games, the songs of FFBE is also high. Is there any part that you particularly worked on? (Hirono) Just as graphics, we tried to re-create songs until Final Fantasy VI, the atmosphere of the early works, so you can see that old songs were implemented with the latest technology. When Agematsu Noriyasu of Elements Garden, a music production group that was in charge of the songs, first composed, he said, "I started with a simple syllable similar to the early works, fleshed out, and now became this form." Because the melody line itself is simple, I can tell you that the biggest advantage of ‘FFBE’ songs is easy to remember. Q7. In this work, Yoshitaka Amano's illustrations were used again. What story did you share in the process of making the illustrations of this game? (Hirono) Amano is an artist constantly involved in 'Final Fantasy' from the earliest days to the latest. When we asked for an illustration, we emphasized that the main characters of other Final Fantasy works will serve together in the world view of FFBE in the form of “Vision”. So, in the first publicity illustration, we asked to make the main characters of FFBE be with the main characters of the previous work in the form of “Vision”. In addition to this, since we already delivered all the stories about season 2, which is currently underway, from the first time we gave request, so it also contains implications about the season 2. Q8. Is there any Final Fantasy work or element that was the most influential to you? (Hirono) Rather than being greatly influenced by one work, as favorite works for Square Enix staffs who participated in various Final Fantasy works are all different, I think we are influenced by various works eqully. However, we got advice from Hironobu Sakaguchi, indispensable in 'Final Fantasy', during development and changed the color of windows and fonts of characters. Q9. At first there was a strong feeling that it was a combination with 'Brave Frontier', but the originality is gradually expanding as the game progresses. What do you think about the direction of 'FFBE' in the future? (Hirono) We would like to get feedback from users and evolve it to the form that users want. And although we have not realized it yet, FFBE is basically a one-player game, so I thought it would be a great idea to expand social elements in the future considering that there are few social elements even though it is a smartphone game. Of course, there are many people who are familiar with the current atmosphere, so it is under consideration in which direction we should proceed. Q10. Since the starting point of the Japanese version and the global version are different from each other, system and contents are often interchanged. How do you plan to handle these differences in the future? (Fujimoto) First, we don’t have any plan to match the service of the global version with the Japanese version. This is because it takes time to translate and prepare after releasing the Japanese version and the global version is following the Japanese version and develops its own content to show its individuality little by little. Because of this, there are many features that are not available in the Japanese version but only in the global version, and we will continue to develop it to meet the taste of global users in the future. Q11. There is an event commemorating the 30th anniversary of 'Final Fantasy' in many franchise games. Is there any special preparation for 'FFBE'? (Hirono) In fact, this year's Fan Festa is also the 30th anniversary event of 'Final Fantasy' in FFBE. Of course, in the Japanese version, various events are held until early next year, but in the global version, it is also true that we have not prepared any outstanding events other than this event. (Fujimoto) Instead, unlike 30-day of free summoning event for the 30th anniversary at the Japanese version, we are giving a benefit for 10 days each for a total of 50 days every time when Fan Festa is held so that it can fill in a missing part a little. Q12. Previously, the SaGa for the Game Boy series was released to the North American market under the name “Final Fantasy Legend”. Is there any plan to carry out the SaGa related collaboration event in the global version? (Hirono) In Japan, we have provided 'SaGa 1' and 'SaGa 3' characters in collaboration with 'Imperial SaGa' game, but since this 'Imperial SaGa' game is not available in the global region, I do not think it's easy to just borrow characters from the SaGa series without an opportunity. Q13. When did you think you did well to start the 'FFBE' project? (Fujimoto) I think I did well at starting this project when communicating with many users around the world. I haven’t been many places in this Fan Festa but I was glad to meet the users from overseas and receive direct feedbacks. I was surprised to people who visited events from many countries including Spain, Argentina, Philippines and Singapore. (Hirono) I have a lot of good memories I got since I started the project. I am particularly pleased to be able to get involved in the great franchise called "Final Fantasy" and to promote the game more widely. And the fact that 'FFBE' is recording the highest downloaded number among mobile games of 'Final Fantasy' franchise will be memorable in developing the game with many people.

NCsoft Lineage M Showcase 'THE SUMMIT'
On the morning of the May 16th, 'Lineage M' showcase 'THE SUMMIT', organized by NCsoft, was held at The Raum in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The event was prepared to introduce the features and vision of NCsoft's new mobile game, 'Lineage M' in the presence of officials including NCsoft's vice president Kim Taek-heon, vice president Jung Jin-soo, executive director Shim Seung-bo, managing director Lee Sung-goo and general manager of mobile publishing, Kim Hyun-ho. At the beginning of the event, Kim Taek-heon said, "Implementing the value and legitimacy of Lineage on the mobile was a new challenge every moment, and it included all the experiences we have accumulated over 19 years since the release of Lineage into Lineage M." And, "I would like to ask you a lot of interest and support for NCsoft's new challenge, Lineage M." ▲ 'Lineage M' showcase 'THE SUMMIT' was held. ▲ Kim Taek-heon said, "We have put all of our 19 years of experience into Lineage M after the release of Lineage." ▲ 'Lineage M' will be showcased on Google Play and Apple App Store on June 21. According to the announcement, 'Lineage M' will be showcased on Google Play and Apple App Store on June 21, and a pre-character creation will be started at 24:00 on June 16th (00:00 on the 17th). Lineage M is a mobile MMORPG that embodies the main elements of "Lineage", a PC online game launched in 1998 by NCsoft. Not only the characters of various classes, but also the main elements of "Lineage" such as clans, large-scale hunting, siege, etc. are included in Mobile Aden World. As the platform is changed from PC to mobile, the visuals are enhanced and the UI system is optimized. 'Lineage M' embodies the main elements of the game such as the original Lineage's characters, hunting grounds, monsters, and non-player characters (NPCs), and users can choose one of the following classes: knight, fairy, monarch, and wizard. When you access the game, you will first play the game on the island "Talking Island" for beginners, and you can use the game in the same areas as the original Lineage, such as Giran Village, Heine, Dragon Valley, etc. The familiar NPCs such as "Pandora" and "Orim" can be found throughout the village, and the familiar monsters such as werewolves, oaks, and skeletons are waiting for users in the hunting grounds. The map of "Lineage M" is an open world format with all the hunting areas in the game opened like the original Lineage. Until now, the mobile RPG has been limited to systems such as users have to hunting ground 1-1, hunting ground 1-2, which can not move hunting grounds in certain order or use hunting grounds according to certain conditions such as level, but 'Lineage M' allows users to move to other areas regardless of conditions so that they can feel the atmosphere of the original game. The control of 'Lineage M' has further improved by fitting the control of the original 'Lineage' to the mobile. Typical examples are 'Arc Selector' system and 'Quick Slot' system. The 'Arc Selector' system allows the user to select lots of subjects by drawing a region with fingers, so they can select all the monsters in the region by drawing a circle on the screen. The system has the advantage of being able to easily select multiple objects on a narrow screen at a time. 'Quick Slot' is a system that users can use several skills, magic, and items consecutively after registering them in advance. In addition, automatic hunting and automatic looting are implemented so that users conveniently and easily enjoy the game even with the limited mobile controls in which they cannot user keyboard and mouse. PvP (Player vs. Player) system of "Lineage M" was developed with the goal of "exciting combat", and users can check their detailed PvP combat history and ranking in "PvP Book" in "Lineage M". If you win a PvP with another character, you can send a provocation message to the clan to which the defeated character belongs, or you can teleport directly to near the character that defeated you. A system that facilitates party hunting in open fields is also introduced. In the battle of the party unit, if the party leader specifies the target, the target is displayed on the party members' screen, and the party members can touch the 'attack' button to perform the concentrated attack. "Trial Dungeon" is added as a content of "Lineage M" for raising characters. The "trial dungeon" is an "individual instance dungeon (one-time hunting ground)" which could not be seen in the original "Lineage". The hunting area in the original "Lineage" will be provided as a private hunting ground. Users can acquire experience points, items, and Adena (in-game money) in the dungeon, and since it is a private dungeon, users do not have to worry about competition or battle with other characters. A community function, which is one of the main functions of "Lineage", is also enhanced in "Lineage M". To begin with, in "Lineage M", a "voice chat" function is implemented so that users can use voice chats with other users without a separate application for communication. Moreover, NCsoft will launch "MTalk", a mobile app for communities linked to games, on Google Play and Apple App Store on the May 16th. "MTalk" is a community app connected to the game, and it has functions like real time interworking of character and clan information, chat with clans and communities, interactive and posting notification, management of clan calendars and schedules. Meanwhile, NCsoft also announced the pre-order record of "Lineage M" at the press conference. Since April 12, it reached 1 million after 8 hours, 2 million after 3 days, 3 million after 12 days, and it exceeded 4 million on May 15.
