Hard to believe this was real.
>fails to ask any substantial questions we didn't already have the answers to
>fails to ask kikiyama to release any older versions of yn or its songs
>fails to word questions or phrases correctly (Kikiyama instead of KikiYama, Lisa instead of LISA)
>literally wastes half the interview talking about himself and the faggot last question
This probably just killed any chances of Anons wanting to interview him or get any work done on finding the older lost versions of YN.
Just another reason why Toby Fox is a faggot.

Remember when some anon here and his friend made a thread claiming he was Kikiyama by providing some graphics and a good chunk of people here, and all over social media believed it? Remember the interviews to Kikiyama in the past before that? So anyway, nice publicity stunt from meme game dev.

 No.10045

Best part about this interview is that all of the information in it is irrelevant, and KIKIYAMA has been known to be alive for half a decade. Also, it might not even be real.
Toby fails to conduct himself well in any interviews, literally spent half the interview with the bitch from Live a Live talking about Garfield. The way he conducted himself in one interview boiled down to "skip" for every other answer when it came to faggot questions.
I'd like to think this is a shitpost but either way this is the biggest loss for YN fans since DD.

seriously, why does the interviewee respond with monosyllables? is he a deity who only deigns to speak to us in this way?

 No.10069

>>10068

It's mentioned in Toby's preamble. Kikiyama is infamously elusive and he didn't wanna scare him off or something, so sticking to yes or no questions (aside from the dumb meme one at the end) was one of the three self-imposed restrictions (the other two were that they couldn't be about the game's content, and Kikiyama got to pick the number of questions).

I'll be honest though, even with these restrictions (and assuming this guy's the real deal, for simplicity's sake. we can't prove it, but we also can't prove a negative, so that debate is a bit of an exercise in futility), the questions really could've been better. I see why the interviewer went with the ones that he did (except #5 and #10, those were objectively lame), but half of them seem pretty obvious in retrospect, and all of them would've benefited from further elaboration on Kikiyama's part.

I think avoiding the game's actual content is a smart move since Yume Nikki benefits pretty heavily from its wide variety of possible interpretations, so casting too much light on it would've been lame. However, he really should've ditched the Yes/No gimmick so that Kikiyama could talk more about the process of making it, and maybe about some of his inspirations like LSD Dream Emulator. Oh well.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I don’t even think the questions were too bad, a lot of the answers have some significant implications in my opinion. Plus the Denny’s order at the end was funny as fuck.

kikiyama is a private guy, and they deserve that privacy. Who cares if the questions were simple yes or no? Who cares if things seem unsatisfying? We thought this guy was dead for nearly a decade, of course they’re gonna answer with ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and nothing else. Who cares. Kick a foot ball

And this is quite sad. Nobody really cares about neither the game's history and fandom surrounding it. Especially newcomers. Sure there are always exceptions, but how much of them in the entire fandom? Probably not even 1%. I believe we should preserve as much as possible and carrying it through the generations of Yume Nikki fans, for everyone to watch and learn.

Also people say a lot of things about kikiyama and just say "obviously everyone knows" but doesn't actually point to what they get it from so I'm confused. Japanese also doesn't have 3rd person gendered pronouns so I don't they could tell that from the original interview.

It's pretty apparent that YN and Cave Story inspired a lot of the elements we see in Undertale.
It was interesting to note that Kikiyama didn't make any traditional rpgs before starting work on Yume Nikki. I honestly wonder what Kikiyama's art, be it manga or games, were before and after YN. Maybe he goes by a different handle and Yume Nikki is explicitly only for the Kikiyama handle. Either way, I thank him for bringing this wonderful game into the world

 No.10307

What would you guys have asked? I think I would have asked why they stopped developing the game or what a version 1.0 might have looked like. Or just anything they would have included if they had the chance

 No.10308

Honestly, I'd have asked if Kikiyama still had access to really early versions of Yume Nikki and if there was a chance of said versions ever getting reuploaded.
