Today is the last of the Famitsu interviews with the director, and there's some great stuff in there!
* Forgery items. You can make fakes of items (go to a specific shop) and give them to other players or use them to complete quests!
* "Wouldn't it be fun if you received a fake item?" (personally I think the answer is no!) For example, you can make fakes of the Warp Stones that don't work!. These items are pretty valuable and hard to come by, and when surrounded by monsters and using one to escape... a copy will just drop to the floor, and do nothing!
* The director was playing the game himself and forgot about the fakes. His warp stone didn't work and he complained to the development staff about it!
* Fakes can also be used to complete quests. E.g. there is a quest to give a book of magic. If you don't want to give the actual book, you can get a copy made and use that to finish the quest. However, this may have consequences later...
* Also, two opposing sides may want the same item. Use a fake and you can give them both what they want!
* Giving items away. Using Pawns, you can give anything to other players. Anything? Anything. Surely you can't give away one-only-in-the-world unique quest items, though? "No, you can give them away too! If you receive one, you may be able to complete a quest as soon as you take it on! It created a lot of work in checking everything, but we wanted to give players complete freedom."
* Bring anyone back to life! When you die, you have the option to use the "Pulse of the Dragon" to bring yourself back to life on the spot, one of the Arisen's powers (sounds like a consumable item). If you are going to be allowed to do something like that, then... why not let you use it on anyone?
* For example, at a certain point you may have to kill one of two people. Do so, make sure the correct reaction has occurred, and then you can sneak back and bring the one you killed back to life.
* There's an escort quest to take this girl to a certain spot, and its really hard. If she dies, you can then choose to use one of these items to bring her back to life and finish the quest.
