Japanese gamers aren't really into action games right now. They're into role-playing or strategy games with a lot of stats, but action titles are still really popular across the US and Europe.

Building the future, and keeping the past alive - are one and the same thing.

I was born in Japan and raised in Japan, but those are the only things that make me Japanese, I've grown up reading books from all over.

My problem is that whenever I shoot, I do it Bruce Willis "Die Hard" style - in a very cinematic fashion.

What I'm doing is creating a game. I'm not making a movie. To make the game more enjoyable and captivating, and to make the player feel like he's present in that setting, we need the cinematic element.

I want my games to teach a message about life, by presenting situations where the answer isn't a clear yes or no.
