Jade Empire Limited Edition Q&A

GameSpot has conducted an interview with BioWare’s Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, in which the joint-CEOs answer two pages of questions about the Limited Edition version of Jade Empire that was recently announced. A little something to start you off:

Q: What content can fans look forward to in the limited edition?

Greg Zeschuk: The first thing a fan who purchases the limited edition of Jade Empire will notice is the unique packaging. In particular, the original cover art has been modified to have a holographic background and a completely different background color than the regular version. We’ve been working with Microsoft on the packaging for a while now, and it looks really sweet. We’ve had a great time working on the custom package because we require actual proofs of the package rather than just digital versions, so we’ve got a whole bunch of cool Jade Empire hologram box prototypes around the BioWare offices.

Inside the swanky new package is a new character model (Monk Zeng) and his new custom style (spade staff). Monk Zeng is one of our favorite playable characters. He’s one of the more unique designs and looks awesome in-game. His spade staff is also one of the more powerful weapons in the game. The limited-edition package also includes the full-length Making of Jade Empire video produced by G4TechTV. The Making of video includes a lot of custom footage from the BioWare offices, scenes from the motion-capture sessions, game footage, and interviews with BioWare’s Jade Empire team members.
