IGN has published a new interview with The Last Story director Hironobu Sakaguchi. In case you’ve forgotten, the Wii RPG is due out in a little over a month.

Sakaguchi commented on the game’s battle system, what it was like being a director again after a long hiatus, how the team dealt with the Wii’s SD resolution limitation, and more.
