WarCry: What makes your game stand out?

Kim Young-Gook: It's the different play style.

It has been quite a while since online multiplayer games brought so much fun to the gaming world. But the booming online game market brought so many copycats following one or two very popular online gaming styles into many beings only to fail. We knew that unless we tried something entirely new, we wouldn't have any chance to survive. We approached our game design with new perspective. And that is, I think, mainly the reason why we are getting attention from the gaming world now.

Gamers get excited when they discover new experiences. And I don't say that only Lunia gives these fresh experiences, there are great games which have totally new and different game styles. Lunia wishes to be shoulder to shoulder with one of those great games.

WarCry: We've seen the term "arcade RPG" associated this title, which is not something a lot of people are familiar with. What does that mean?

EA started their conference with an impressive set of stats, stating that over two billion units of Sims games have been sold to date. Yes, that's two billion. They talked about how over half of the new gamers coming into the market today were casual gamers, while showing a picture of an elderly lady playing Wii Sports bowling. They said they would be pushing hard for the casual gamer over the next year, with over 40 games set to launch on Pogo. However, EA also admitted they had to strike a good balance between the casual and the hardcore, and they wouldn't be leaving out the core gamer in their approach.

With that said, they went into some demos of their big upcoming titles for 2007. A brief demo of Skate on the Xbox 360 was up first, which you can read about in our recent preview.

Next up were a few trailers for the next iteration of Need for Speed -- Pro Street -- and Crysis. The Pro Street trailer seemed like it was over almost before it started, and it didn't really show any gameplay. Crysis,

For months now, the denizens of Vana'diel have been racing the chocobos they have lovingly reared. Starting this month, the new Chocobo Circuit will allow adventurers to join teams and vie in direct competition for points, bragging rights, and items. Players will also get the chance to put their money where their mouth is with the introduction of chocobets.

What is the Chocobo Circuit?

By popular demand of breeders from all corners of the world wishing to prove the superiority of their birds, the Chocobo Circuit has opened at last. By now, many adventurers have gotten a taste of how fun and challenging chocobo racing can be. This will be the last major update to chocobo racing. Any future changes will only be minor modifications.

After painstakingly raising chocobos from the shell to the stables, breeders can now enter them in races against other adventurers from around Vana'diel. In addition, both breeders and common spectators alike can now enjoy a day at the races, complete with chocobets which allow you to lay down gil on the birds of your choice! These features will make the Circuit an enjoyable pastime not only for those already hooked on chocobo racing, but also for those who h
