Louis Answers:
1) What does FWH mean to you?
|
| |
-
It is a brand new start. We wish to create something different, something unique that people will look forward
to play and also feel with a real texture.
|
2) Why do you want to start something new?
|
|
 |
| |
-
It is a dream, and also as normal individuals ourselves we seek good entertainment contents and wish to have
diversity. It would be cool that something new be brought to the market to provide new energy, breath new
life and give more choices. Who don't want to see more fun stuffs right?
|
3) How do you design FWH and what are your color concepts?
|
|
 |
| |
-
I am a fan of the older games of Final Fantasy especially the settings of a magical world, on the other hand
we liked the medieval settings. By combining the two pictures together we begin to form this idea. For the
colors we do not have fixed rules. The ideas jump out when I begin thinking in the character's shoe.
Sometimes it was Charles who gave me the insights form his drawings. For example the main character Sab the
Fighter is colored black with minor yellows since he is a very confident character.
|
4) What is the position of FWH?
|
| |
-
We thought of it as a very different product than the Japanese Capsules where they are priced the lowest
possible with a figure of approximate shapes and colors of the original. We are really keen on having our
Toys (products) consistent with our original character designs and have as much original colors on them. We
are making them with a higher than normal quality but yet at a reasonable, lower than medium leveled price.
And if you consider that the price also includes shipping to anywhere in the world, that's exceptional!
|
5) What are your plans for the future?
|
| |
-
We have many different ideas. However at this point it is too early to say where and how we are going
towards (forward). But one thing is for sure, there will be the next coming series and we look forward
that one day, this 1st figure series will be rare collectibles!
|
Charles Answers:
1) How do you introduce Fantasyworld Hero?
|
|
 |
| |
-
I would say it is a collection game with a medieval fantasyworld setting. Basically you collect your own
characters, form your own party and collect treasures together with your teammates!
|
2) How do you define your passion of drawing?
|
| |
-
I started drawing when I was little, it's a childhood thing. I always think it is wonderful to be able
to dream of things and then draw it out, making it real. I feel satisfied in doing so!
|
3) How do you design these Fantasyworld Hero characters?
|
| |
-
When we begin creating this series, we have a common goal in mind. We wish to create something that both
genders would find appealing. We pictured what it is like in a fantasy medieval world, and we thought of
a dukedom with generals, forests and magic kingdoms with magical characters and animals!
|
4) Can you describe the main characters?
|
|
 |
| |
-
We have two main characters in the Story: Sab the Fighter with an enormous sword and Lint the Knight who
usually closes his eyes. They are like Ryu and Ken in the Street Fighter Series (just to help you understand
better). They create such a contrast to each other which made them into
|
| |
ultimate rivals. Sab only follows his own instincts while Lint is very disciplined with his very own code of
conducts. However, they do respect each other. I think that is what everyone is looking up to in life, a rival
you could meet who on the other hand is also your respected friend.
|
5) What about other characters?
|
|
 |
| |
-
If you recall the story, Myra is the "Dream Traveller". She is a very special and important character in
the story. We expect that as we move forward on the Fantasyworld Story we will disclose more on who she is
and how different pieces tie together. Tubu rock is more like a monster in the Fantasyworld who live its
life peacefully but with a bit of curiosity.
|
6) What will be your future movements?
|
| |
-
We are expecting to open up more areas in the Fantasyworld and develop more on the story, so stay tuned!
