Famitsu recently took the time to talk to Takeuchi-san, Producer on Lost Planet 2, and Oguro-san, the Creative Director of LP2. They shed some light on the customization, the Vital Suits, and even a new type of VS called the Cross (pictured above). Check out the interview below.

Scenario

Takeuchi-san: There will be different kind of tribes in the game besides snow pirates. We hope to show more of the content of the game at TGS. The only thing I can say at this point is the off line campaign mode contains a lot of contents which are able to play deeply even off line with AI.

Customization

Takeuchi-san: There are items which are provided only on both campaign mode and battle mode, but no plan to combine or mix items like Monster Hunter series (laugh). 

Action

Takeuchi-san: I wish I could provide the opportunity for uses to go wherever like ground, ocean, sky, they want.

Oguro-san: Sounds like we seem to be talking a little too much (bitter smile).

Takeuchi-san: It should be okay since I’m just talking about the image of the game (laugh).

More, including info on the new VS, after the jump.

Vital Suits

Takeuchi-san: There will be much increased number of VS in the game.

Oguro-san: Basic models are around 20 kinds, but there will be a lot in different colors, so the total number of VS will be huge.

Takeuchi-san: I think the most convenient VS in LP2 will be the “Powered Suit”. There will be a new armor which has been developed under the project name of “Cross”. The project name was taken as is from a comic book (laugh). This “Cross” is like the armor featured in Ghost and Goblins.

Oguro-san: The “Cross” is able to do anything a human can, while the powered suit is a kind of VS……….. 

Akrid

Takeuchi-san: If a player wants to play specifically against AK boss, it becomes possible to pick up a boss stage once completing an episode.
