I assumed it was a cultural thing with the Japanese and he was trying to be polite but I'm probably way off.

They sit very proper like here in Okinawa; I imagine it's a cultural thing.

Everyone was just being polite, this way you are closer to the others and have less of a gap between the people who sit opposite to eachother.
To lean back would look sort of lazy.
Outside of the interviews, when we were having casual talk and drinks, everyone did sit very normal and comfortable

Jesus Christ... Rui Anderson where have you been all my life!?

Oh, also grats dude. Do you keep track of how much you spent on all that stuff? My guess is ~500,000 USD.

Haha nice. You have pictures of your other game series collections?

Ahh damn, we were having a "Price is Right" moment at the office trying to figure out how much all this stuff is worth. lol

***Makwa*** · 2013-01-31 11:27

Congrats dude, that crystal looks pretty freakin' awesome.
Also, your art is badass.

**shepardG** · 2013-01-31 11:31

I thought I had a decent little ff collection, Wowzers, you can call me "schmuckers" cause I'm jelly

**kuronosan** · 2013-01-31 11:35

So fucking jealous that you got to meet Uematsu.

**Randis** · 2013-01-31 12:36

Thanks everyone!!!

This. If I met him and Hitoshi Sakamoto at the same time, I'm pretty sure I'd have a heart attack IRL. Having that much collective nostalgia and badass talent in the same room... ugh...

**Sho** · 2013-01-31 12:51

So, let me list out how jelly I am in 10 parts, no real order:

1) You meet the legend, Nobuo Uematsu.
2) You get a Famitsu page spread.
3) Your fiancee is gorgeous.
4) You are an artist of epic and amazing Final Fantasy.
5) You draw art of Nobuo Uematsu, and turn around and present it to him in epic fashion.
6) You are presented a one of a kind, FFI Crystal.
7) You get to meet Rui Anderson.
8) You have a Final Fantasy collection that surpasses mine.
9) You got to travel to Paris.
10) You meet the legend, Nobuo Uematsu. Because listing him three times expresses my infinite jealously.

Lets trade lives. OK go.

That's pretty awesome man, makes me smile. It's a great feeling knowing that Final Fantasy touched someone's life in a good way and it came back around full circle. I bet you never dreamed of that happening to you when you were a youngster.

This.

I'd be fucking giddy like a 12 year old girl to meet the legend in person. He'd probably have to physically stop me from humming many of his tracks.

Because it's polite and makes you look like you're listening to and paying attention to the speaker and interested in what they're saying, instead of trying to look 2cool4school?

**Guitarman** · 2013-01-31 20:08

First off, jelly like a mofo about your fiancee. Good lord. Hold on tight and never let go.

Second, congrats! I would love to meet Uematsu

Oh! third, love the willy-wonka vibe from your Uematsu painting. Very imaginative.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2013-01-31 20:22

But we Americans ARE too cool for school!

Still jelly, though.

**Silenka** · 2013-02-02 05:40

I'm a little late. But wow. Cool that you got to do the interview and meet all those people, but even cooler that your art is so amazing. And your fiancee is hot. XD And your collection is awesome. Keep doing super awesome art (I actually have seen the kitty moogle one plenty of times around the internet).

**Khajit** · 2013-02-02 14:17

So.. Did you score a foursome with those interview girls and your fiance? I was wondering what could be so exciting about an interview at the start but that really does look like a great experience. if it's impossible to wear that hat I will be HIGHLY disappointed.
