Caltrops - Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball





	[quote name="Fussbett"]...is not to be missed, by the way. It's a very short and enjoyable read. <a href="http://bellsouthpwp.net/r/a/racerg/itagaki-xbn-winter2002.html">http://bellsouthpwp.net/r/a/racerg/itagaki-xbn-winter2002.html</a> <b>XBN: Who is your personal favorite DOA girl? </b> Itagaki: Kasumi, for sure. I feel responsible for her. Do you know that some hackers made a nude code for her in DOA3? It broke my heart. I feel very close to her after that event. It was an attack on her. <b>XBN: Kasumi is the youngest, right? She's 17. Are you okay with sexualizing with a 17-year-old? </b> Itagaki: Why not? In Japan, that's okay. Maybe it's 20 in America. Remember though, I was 27 when I created Kasumi. I'm older now, but 17-year-old girls are still gorgeous. Still, I'm not the kind of creator that lets my own tastes overwhelm the game. I make games for the player, not just myself. <b>XBN: Would you be comfortable featuring, say, a 15-year-old girl as a sexy character? </b> Itagaki: In Japanese tradition, people become adults at the age of 16. I think the legal age is 20. But there are cultures in the world where girls get married at 13. I guess the current status of society will limit what we can or can't do. But when we design characters, we design them for the Japanese cultural standard. Fussbett: I was kinda surprized that a video game magazine was asking questions like that.[/quote]
