Indeed, it was awesome meeting you Kazuki! just only wish I knew what they were saying

Thats a pretty cool costume Kazuki.

And I totally forgot about you taking those screenshots.  Nice addition though.

MxO finaly gets some advertisment! In 720p none the less! Nice interview.

Hi everyone!

I know you all want to know what we are taking in the interview so I translated our conversation in English!

Here are the texts:

Me: Hello there. I’d like to interview a player who came from Japan!

Kazuki: Hello

M: What is your main in-game character name?

K: It’s Kazuki.

M: What SOE game are you playing?

K: MXO!

M: How long have you been playing MXO?

K: I have been playing MXO for about 3 and half years since it was beta.

M: What do you like about MXO?

K: Fighting and story are really fun but I really enjoy meeting with the players from all over the world and that’s one of the reason I still play the game.

M: What country are those players living in?

K: Most players are from the US and UK but I have met some Italian and Greek players. I enjoy playing with many players who are not native English speakers as well.

M: What was the reason you chose MXO among SOE games?

K: I love the original movies so I was keeping my eyes since it was in beta period.

M: Do you have a hard time to play with the foreign players and also what is the fun part of it?

K: At the beginning, I had trouble communicating in English but eventually I started communicating just fine and it was a good English lesson for me!

M: Have you had any miscommunication?

K: I didn’t understand slang words at first so I looked up the dictionary and found what those words mean. Sometimes, I found the meaning later on and found what others meant after the game play. lol (I have done the same thing too! By Momochi)

M: Is there any new SOE games you would like to check out?

K: I’d like to check out “The Agency” the most.

M: How are you enjoying SOE Fan Faire?

K: Most players are very friendly and I am having fun.

M: Good luck on the costume contest! Thank you for the time!

K: Thank you very much!

Special thanks to Kazuki! Hope I can see you all at next Fan Faire!

This is very cool.  I am so glad SOE interviewed Kazuki, what an honor.

I was watching in the background hoping to see some other players pass by. I think sput and I passed behind the cameraman lol

Kazuki FTW!

Friggn Sweet! good to see something on MXO.

/blush
I didn't think we were so closed up during the filming.

Thank you for the video interview and nice comments! I am honored. I must be the luckiest fan faire attendee in 2008.

I will be happy if it encourages players living away from the fan faire venue, as you can meet nice people.
I hope to see you again in this year, even though I am not sure I can. (11 hours flight is not a problem for me, but it is difficult to take a vacation in most Japanese workplaces. )

Also, I am very sorry I cannot be online these days due to busy schedule, but I will be back soon.

Congrats on the interview Kazuki!  I remember watching you and Momochi taping it.

Again, it was a pleasure and honor to meet you at fan faire! /bow ^_^
