Some new Mashima interview is out
>Mashima didn't truly feel like Fairy Tail (the original manga, not the sequel) was over until the anime ended.
>There are two reasons why he thought FT wouldn't last more than 10 volumes: one is because it felt right to make it shorter than his debut manga, Rave Master, which lasted for 35 volumes; the other is because he wasn't sure he'd be interested enough to even go beyond that point. (Reminder: FT has a total of 63 volumes.)
>Reader feedback is the reason why FT lasted as long as it did, and he didn't have any sort of ending in mind until he was drawing the Tartaros arc.
>Rave's plot was more or less fixed from beginning to end; the only major change he made to the story was switching the last boss from King to Lucia. In comparison, the only thing FT had set in stone was "Natsu is a boy looking for the dragon who raised him."
>The FT anime's voice cast had a huge influence on how Mashima wrote their characters, particularly Happy, who became a more complex character than Mashima ever imagined thanks to Rie Kugimiya's performance. This was done by Mashima's request, as he asked them to give their own interpretation on what their characters are like.
>Natsu has so much in common with his actor, Tetsuya Kakihara, that Mashima started drawing Natsu to look more like him.
>Mashima had no direct influence on the anime's casting; it was entirely an anime staff decision.
>He coincidentally met with Makarov's actor, Shinpachi Tsuji, around the time Makarov was supposed to die on Sirius/Tenrou Island. Because Mashima enjoyed talking with Tsuji so much, he decided to keep Makarov around. (This may be why Mashima felt more comfortable with Makarov dying towards the end if he didn't decide to back out for different reasons.)
>Mashima feels that storyboarding FT's original OVA episodes is harder than just drawing the manga and letting the professional anime boarders do the rest.

Or there is a known hint, for example for each time reset the chronophage takes out a planet. Drakken only needs a record of how many worlds were eaten to figure out the amount of jumps.

>When he was starting out with Rave, it almost faced cancellation due to sub-par reader surveys, so he was forced to get to the interesting parts of the story (i.e., the stuff with Haru's missing father and the intended final villain) much sooner. This had a huge influence in why he based FT's story around what he thought would be most interesting at each given moment.
>Mashima gets plenty of rest and playtime despite his workload (i.e., making three weekly manga at the same time for two-and-a-half months).
>His current weekly schedule is as follows: he storyboards on Sunday, meets with his editor on Monday, draws at least eight pages a day from Tuesday through Friday, and works a different job on Saturday. Each day he works for 9-10 hours, plays games for 2-3 hours, and idles around through the rest of it.
>He draws more slowly and carefully now than he did before, but his switch to digital drawing means his work goes faster anyway.
>For him, drawing colored pages is the hardest part, and storyboarding is the most fun.
>As a writer, he recommends that if you ever get stuck between writing what you want or what the readers want, always choose the reader, even if you prefer your way deep down; also, try to be as objective with your editor as possible.
>Mashima always reads everything in fan letters and Twitter, including criticism. However, he will never disregard his own gut feeling on what he feels he should and shouldn't write.
>He feels fortunate to be someone who's gotten to write both what he wants and what the readers want, which is a struggle for many artists.
>He used to clash with his editor over his personal desires for his manga, but since Fairy Tail is rooted heavily in pleasing the readers, he's made that his biggest motivator in writing stories.
>HERO'S was conceived as a love letter to the fans, since neither Rave nor FT would've lasted as long as they did without their support.
Explains a bunch about FT really. Hack

So it would pretty much be the final boss of Bravely default

>Rave master was what he wanted to write
>Fairy tail was what the fans wanted hin to write.
It's a damn shame it has to be like this.
