Good interview, I liked a lot of the questions.
Keep on the watch for the end of the interview where they ask Ms. Eri Nobuchika some questions.

Sure, but... a link was given providing thousands of words of information about the man. Seems that might answer your question.Gattsu25 said:

whoever kept asking those retarded questions in the interview really deserves a good kick in the balls. with steel toe boots no less.

Nice to see that Tokyopia is finally up to something. 
What stupid questions? I thought the interview was great, the only extra thing I would have perhaps asked him perhaps what he thought about Nintendo's approach with the DS (going for extra functions instead of immersibility with better graphics/sound). (and I'm kinda kicking myself for not, as I had the chance to when I saw him speak :[ ).Johnny Nighttrain said:
If you have seen him talk in public then you can understand he likes to do this, he's a very humble man who likes to keep his cards to his chest. Even whilst presenting at a symposium I went to where he had the whole stage, he's the kind of guy that likes to let his work do the talking, he showed a lot of examples of his past projects when discussing his approach to creating games, rather than a lot of explanation.Wario64 said:

everything but the last 1/3 (maybe even 1/4) of that interview was worthless.Stryder said:
let me ask him that many questions, and i'd win some kind of award for being the man who knows how to ask excellent questions.
Yeah, I did find the interview more entertaining or informative for the first half, there might have been some filler questions at the end there as he had a chance to ask some more things, but it all was good info imo.
I wouldn't go as far as to say the interviewer deserves kicking in the shins with steel-toed boots. :lol

Well, it's not like they had to post the interview at all, anyway. Sheesh.

I reciprocate the same feelings. Although I didn't know Japanese and just hung with my friend who was chatting it up with him he was a very nice and warm sort of person. Humble is such an excellent way to describe him, that's what my friend thought as well.Stryder said:
Ok enough musings, more people read this interview! Even if you don't like the silly questions there are a ton of really solid ones.

Seconded. I mean, I love Miz - he's not the best/most famous dev in the world, but really -- standards...?

like it would've made a difference. we got almost no new/good info out of it.MightyHedgehog said:
If this was an interview that was supposed to get "new info" then I would feel cheated, but it doesn't seem like the interview was for that purpose. It tells us a lot about how Mizuguchi thinks, which is cool. It's nice to know he's an "all big" or "all small" kind of guy - no half measures! Somehow I don't think he's going to make something on the big end of the scale with the Bandai tie-up though.Johnny Nighttrain said:

that's all you need then.
he asked a crap load of videogame related questions, 99.8% of them sucked. there's soooooo many better questions or topics they could've talked about.
"do you take your ipod with you?". you know he wanted to reply with "alright dude, obviously i do. enough with the stupid questions".
im telling you guys, that interview was an insult to everyone involved. but not the dude asking the questions, since obviously he wouldn't understand why,
The dumb questions were only a third in then they get good. Those are ease in questions. But judging by the answers after the first few questions the interviewer fucked up. But the last part was very good. From the way it started, it could have easily been an interview that had no substance at all.
You don't get it, do you? This interview isn't for hardcore Mizuguchi-worshipping dorks who want to know the next 72 games he's working on. It was just a general chat in a club about what's going on, what his influences and interests are and so on. In that respect, I thought he did a decent job, especially for a first-time interviewer.Johnny Nighttrain said:

I think that we may have stumbled on a problem that will be very important for the future of the gaming press. This kind of article (perhaps not i Q&A-form) that portraits the person is a necessity to reach a wider audience. Let's face it a lot of interviews are basically fact sheets in Q&A-form. I don't know how many times I've listened to an interview made by another game journalist that never leaves gaming at a micro level (gameplay details, number of levels, multiplayer modes and the classic "how many polygons does this engine push?" etc etc). Sure, most of the time, the game is the story but not this time and this interview is definitively something I would print.
Lets hope Meteos ignites the love for his studioUncle Dukey

Yeah. This is a whole lot more interesting than the "interviews" that really read more like a preview of an upcoming game.

I can't believe we're having a "my Mizuguchi interview can beat up your Mizuguchi interview" pissing contest!! everyone get over it, now!

I think it is an excellent interview. It's extremely interesting to see where he gets his influence from, because I think it's very non-traditional, which you could guess from his games. But who would have ever guessed that the concept from Lumines would be from a painter from 100 years ago? His whole mantra about synthesis of the experience demonstrates that he's really working on another level than just "games" it's all about the complete experience for him. Great stuff.
