Will a cool middle-aged man appear in Armed Fantasia?
  - Everyone has different criteria for what a cool middle-aged man is. So I can't promise anything, but I'll do what I can. I'd also like to have a cool middle-aged woman show up in the game as well.


Unlike Wild Arms, Armed Fantasia has characters with birthdays(in the calendar of this world?). Is this a factor in the story?
  - I can't reveal the details, and I don't have any plans to reveal it any time soon. But there definitely is a reason behind it. But don't think about it too hard. I'd be happy if you just celebrated the birthdays of the characters!


Are there any Anomalies in this game you're really satisfied with? Or are they still a secret?
  - The design work isn't over yet, so I think it's a bit early to have a favorite. You want a lot of Anomalies, right? Anomalies are one of the best parts of an RPG, so I definitely want there to be lots of them!


If Armed Fantasia also has a secret boss like Ragu O Ragula from Wild Arms, has kaneko-san already decided on a name and setting for it?
  - I've already got the setting and name all set in my head, and the design is already completed! However, the setting for that Anomaly requires the world to be created first. So that's what we're working on first. All that's left is to put them in the game. So please support the campaign!


Alicia's favorite sport is basketball, but since she's 5'3" (which is a pretty normal height), why does she play Center(a role that normally requires a tall player)? Is she above average for Londenium women? Is it because she's so powerful? Does she simply have a strong presence? I'm curious as to why she chose Center.
  - Regardless of amateur or pro, in the real world a Center needs height to win. But Alicia and the girls at the Order simply play for fun. That may be why she is good at that position. It's definitely not because I want to see Alicia in a uniform playing an active role under the net or anything(unconfident).


I am also expecting some fascinating enemy characters, do you have any plans to introduce them in the future within the Kickstarter period?
  - If this is a concern, we will consider it whenever possible.


Does Sigurd play guitar?
  - Since he is a man of little play, can he play guitar or something? I wonder?


You talk about customizing ARM and learning skills, but what exactly does customization do? Is it like the Wild Arms series, where you could use money to power up your ARM?
  - We plan to explain it soon.


Are you interested in making a strategy book for Armed Fantasia as well?
  - It will only be complete & finished when the strategy book is released... I'm worried if the overseas staff can make the usual (Wild Arms-like) strategy book...


Will the ARM design have more variations from what is currently presented or will it be customizable?
  - Designs will increase. The lower grade ARMs will have a more retro design.


Will there be items in the game that remind you of Pennyblood? I'd love to see an item that reminds me of all the excitement we're having right now!
  - I hadn't thought about that. But maybe it's possible to have them live together in a setting that is not unreasonable? I'll suggest it to Machida-san next time.


As for vehicles, I would be happy if I could also control the vehicle from my point of view as if I were driving it, is that a possibility?
  - I can't answer anything about camera behavior now, as it will come after the map is further verified. The specifications for vehicles will also come after the world map is verified.


Do you have a set gender and age (adult, child, etc.) for Strisch?
  - Male!


For Euclid, who loves animals but hates them, please collaborate with pennyblood's Luca-kun!(* Luca is a 10-year-old boy who transforms into a cute, white wolf.)
  - Depends on how animalistic he is!


Soleil has a wealth of skills in the state of affairs, in Armed Fantasia will buff debuffs be so important that they can affect the battlefield?
  - I think buff debuffing will be important. Because our development team loves buff debuffs.


Who are the Four Heavenly Kings that Mercedes is referring to? Ingram and the other party members are five if you exclude Mercedes, right? Will there be people like the Avesta that appeared in Wild Arms 3? Or are they more unique?
  - Now it's a mysterious Four Heavenly Kings. It is a secret.


I have a question related to role changes. Is there a compatibility bonus for using initially equipped ARMs (for example, only the combination of Ingram and a gun can use special techniques etc...), or is there a suitability for a particular role derived from a character's original elements?
  - We have talked with the person in charge of the battle system so as not to make too big a difference.


What is in the mysterious ring on Soleil's left leg?
  - I can't answer that right now.(* Kaneko-san said wait a minute and did not answer after that. It does not seem to be something that can be easily answered.)


Does Holy Key Church have some sort of uniform instituted?
  - Uniforms are available. But we haven't had the designers draw them yet.


It looks like you can achieve the stretch goal "to implement a Card Mini-Games", but do you already have an idea of what it will be?
  - It's set in stone...but I wonder if it's set in stone...(there may be changes).


Does the packaged version come with a paper instruction manual?
  - The physical version will probably not come with a paper instruction manual.


Pennyblood's Baby Cthulhu training looks very interesting. Do you plan to implement a similar training element in Armed Fantasia?
  - We are aiming for a system that allows a great deal of customization around the characters, so we are not currently considering any customization other than around the characters.


Looking at the character profiles, I see that there is still a rich food culture in Londenium. Will you be implementing such off-shoot events, such as Euclid fishing, Mercedes working in the fields, etc.?
  - There's a possibility that the food could be church-made synthetic food, you know? Offshoots are only seen at events, and the basic worldview is not associated with the slow life.


I saw the description that the force break is activated by the trigger button, does the force break action occur immediately after the button is pressed? Or can I select the command after the force break is activated?
  - You can select the command!


With the rose design on the Mercedes pouch and belt, I have a feeling that there was a woman like this somewhere. Does this really mean that this design is respecting someone else's design that does justice?
  - It has a rose design because her last name is Rosenberg. So it is her family crest. It is probably unrelated to the girl in the first-class guest room.


Of the six ARM types, which do you most want to use, Kaneko-san?
  - I would most like to use a cane that looks easy and strong. I would also like to use swords and guns that look technically very strong.


Sigurd mocks himself as a loser, but metaphorically in terms of dog breed, what dog would he be?
  - A big, strong but quiet Siberian Husky, I think.


Do the main characters have a motto?
  - It depends on the work, but we decide & publish such things only after we have finished writing the scenario.


Are there any ARMs that are rare in terms of availability?
  - All ARMs are for sale in the store. But there is some kind of item drop factor.


I still wonder if there is already a set up for Alicia's friends?
  - It exists at the level of delusion.


Is it your policy not to implement ammunition consumption when attacking?
  - No bullet restrictions.


Please let me know exactly how the packaged version will be available.
  - The physical version will be available as a Steam version or a package for each home console. The compatible console must be selected in advance and will be sent to your registered address.


What are the staples of Strisch?
  - Acorns, maybe.


Does Kaneko-san himself not appear as a monster?
  - In the initial phase, the campaign staff proposed a stretch goal, "Let's get a Kaneko-robot as a hidden boss," but I immediately rejected the idea. I have no desire for that kind of self-aggrandizement or approval.


Are there any NPCs whose conversations change depending on the operating character?
  - I'll be glad when that happens. As for the rest... you already know the answer, don't you?(Please support us!)


Are role names assigned to each party member?
  - Not at the moment, no. That kind of thing is something you think about after the user interface manager tells you to think of something because of the space available.


Can I go inside the private house?
  - We are currently considering it. Being able to enter a private house is synonymous with building an interior. Therefore, there is a cost involved.


How do you carry that big ARM around?
  - It's a secret. If we start worrying about such things, ”the people of Londenium can't go to the bathroom, but is that okay?” That's what I'm talking about.


If you have any nicknames for characters other than Euclid, please let me know.
  - So far, no. Euclid's "Yoo-kun" was also just Ingram calling Euclid that when he was a child.


I think the Strisch vest is very cute and I think it would be even cuter if I could do variations, color changes, and add ribbons, but that's not part of the costume change, is it...?
  - I'm certainly curious though... (I'm undecided).


Are there any pairs of party members who are noteworthy for their interactions?
  - It's Soleil and Strisch!(* Strisch is not a member of the fighting team. In other words, he cannot seem to answer the question because it is still a secret.)
