No question that criticized FFXIII in any way was asked, and most of the questions selected were either complete fluff or concentrated on the production side of the game (and about half came from one website, since there were about 10 websites represented I'm guessing the majority of us asked in-depth or critical questions that SE didn't want Kitase to answer or possibly even hear). I couldn't really read much into it for those reasons, but I did get the hint the content that he considers FFXIII-2 to be an 'improvement' of the previously great FFXIII rather than a 'fixing' of the previously flawed FFXIII.

There's a reason why we didn't put up a feature on the Q&A. I'll see if I can get the transcript of it from one of the other sites because I forgot to bring a recording device.
