Tetsuya Nomura recently conducted an interview with Gemaga. Unfortunately, it's in a language which we can't begin to translate ourselves. Thankfully, Autumn Thread from NeoGAF has translated the important bits of the interview. The interview discusses when we'll get the chance to see some gameplay fight scenes from Final Fantasy XIII as well as some other Final Fantasy information.

We've included the translation below.

Final Fantasy XIII - Nomura mentions that before the end of the year we'll see the battle scene in FFXIII, Blu-ray is a bonus and because of that uploading to the Blu-ray discs is faster. Also, they have no immediate plans to release information on the voice acting cast.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII - "The Goddess Etro" which was spoken of in the dialogue between Noctis and Stella is not the goddess shown in the painting drawn by Amano.

Final Fantasy Agito XIII - The current battle interface is temporary. Shown in the latest pictures is three people in a party but as production moves along it will become more.

    well that will be a rea UPDATE cause i really was getting fed up of nonsense every single site making a big fuzz about things like characters names. Gameplay videos is whta everyone wants to see this game has taken so long and almost nothing has been shown. Well although this might be good because the less you know about the game, the excited you are about it, well in my case that is XD

     I might recover my lost respect for the saga if they release a version with a good spanish voice acting.

    Until they are ready to show some gameplay this game is seriously dead to me personally. It's taken them way too long to do so and it has become a bit tiresome. Plus all these "news" posts about character names and some random screenshots is a piss-poor attempt to keep the title in our heads. Really pathetic SE...

    no it wasn't. ff12 was awesome.
    anyway I don't mind seeing gameplay, but would be better to show it just before the launch. o/ I mean before internet, you didn't see millions of videos of games etc. It was fun to see what kind of game it was after you bought it ^^
