– Takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth
– Humans heritage put in a spaceship, taken off the planet, but it crashes into another planet, cargo scatters
– Ship’s computer trying to recreate the ecosystem from the Earth on the new planet, but is creating strange plant and animal life instead as a result of the crash
– Set 1,000 years after the crash
– Ship is mysteriously releasing poisonous elements into the atmosphere, you need to stop it
– Work together with the planet’s species (Ewok-like race called the Guardians)
– The Guardians have used technology from the ship to quickly advance their own
– The Guardians weren’t human-friendly at first because the crash caused a lot of damage, but help them because they want to drink alcoholic beverages humans make
– Regarding a release in other territories: “I think it’d be a good thing for the industry if we took a moment to rethink what Japan’s games should be doing. There are gamers worldwide, of course, and making games to meet their needs certainly isn’t a bad thing, but I feel like we’re throwing out too many Japanese values and the uniqueness of our games along the way. A lot of Japanese kids don’t even play games these days, right? I want to teach them again that games are a lot of fun, just like how our parents taught us when we were kids.” – Yoshihiro Sudo, Kadokawa Games
