I guess Dead Fantasy wont be "Fantasy" for long.
On another note (but because you mentioned him) here's what Itagaki responded to PlatinumGames' Hideki Kamiya's claim that no one has improved 3D action games since DevilMayCry:
"Was he asleep for 8 years?...There are 2 types of people out there who like to make controversial,splashy comments.There are those who are truly outspoken,and there are those who are just trying to cover up for their weaknesses.We have a saying here in Japan-'The weaker dogs bark more'-and i sincerely like to remind him to make sure to stay awake for the next years."
This was in the last issue of Edge,and personally i also found Kamiya's statement quite arrogant.Not very typical for a Japanese.But Itagaki isn't a typical Japanese also.

But anyway,sorry for the off-topic insertion.
