"You'll find the AI very improved"

"There's more variation in their styles, so more variation in the experience -they fight according to their type"

"I'm not interested in creating something for purely commercial purpose. I'm focused on creating something unique"

"Otaku culture actually has a lot of power"

"My definition of an Otaku is that it's a person with a lot of power - who pours that power into something they are really into along with others" ...And Is Goichi Suda an Otaku?"   Yes!, [laughs] I'm an Otaku, I've been an Otaku since I was in Kindergarten"

"Suda spent time considering other weapons for Travis, including Beam Whips (-thought about that myself), Nunchuku, and even a projectile weapon. "But the image of Travis with the Beam Katana was so strong, I couldn't risk changing it. The sword is Travis's true identity, he's in many ways a modern Samurai."

"He gets to pilot a giant robot, this lets you fight on a larger scale - there will be plenty more variety as well"

"This game will be like one and a half times the size of the original - this is mainly due to the fact we have so many new and cool bosses"

"Defeating a boss brings up a Super Mario Bros style flag sequence, where Travis walks away in 2D and gets on his bike"

"There's a very important difference to how the game now looks -"Weve introduced high dynamic range rendering as well as effects like motion blur - the game has improve, shifted closer to the vision I really wanted to deliver In terms of the world we use a smaller portion of the town, because players told us it was too big in the first game and, as this sequel is very much focused on Travis, I wanted the world more centered on his everyday life"

"If there is a chance, of course, I would like to make adventure games, but I have no plan right now. However, I am interested in making a new Mondo related story for new hardware"

"The DS version of "Silver Case" is still up in the air. Actually, the game has already been completely ported to the DS, but I have decided that the game itself is very old. Therefore, it is certainly necessary to remake it properly to fit in with the current generation of gamers. So, for now the game has not been released"

"As for the "Moonlight Syndrome" IP, unfortunately it doesn't belong to Grasshopper, meaning we cannot do anything for that right now"...

Any word on MotionPlus?

He's like a batshit version of Ueda.

Why did you star out the swear words in the post? I understand the title, but why the post?

I dont know if you guys know, but taking a shit can feel good, painful or both.  I can't really say which is the case for this guy.

Well he's saying it was like so because he felt like he was getting rid of weight, mental baggage, like exorcising, shit.

I'd like to see more involved blocking. I was mostly using high and rarely low, enemies didn't indicate what way they'd hit. Similar for the actual attacking. Maybe with some visual cues (perhaps in the lock-on targeting circle's color?) they can make that a more integral aspect of the game.

That mech should be cool, I wonder if you use it in the city during an event, it sounds too big to fit in just another indoor level or something.

Also, it sounds short. 5 times the bosses but 1.5 times the length of the first? I guess that's cool too, it should be a much denser experience, but at least that alone indicates the open world is probably not as involving as some may have wanted, though personally I didn't think they'd expand it all that much, it's just not what the game's been about, and to make the sequel about that they'd probably need another year in development.
