finally the last PSP game ?
I'm continually surprised that they're still supporting it, so who knows. There's still time for more ^^
Heh, so much for that Cero Z rating.

How graphic does the game get? In 999 a lot of the details are written so your mind fills in the gaps, but since Zero Time Dilemma is cinematic how far did you push the limits?

I can’t go into too much detail since that would spoil the fun. I’ll leave that to your imagination! In terms of the level of violence originally we were going for a CERO D rating which is 17 and over. We realized that with those restrictions we wouldn’t get the same visual and emotional impact we wanted so at the end of the day we went with a CERO Z rating, which is the highest rating in Japan.

I always see most Japanese box-arts as attempts to fit as much shit as possible onto the cover before it implodes. Releasing an RPG? Don't forget to get all the NPCs on the cover!

That or tits.

Disagree. you're much sooner see a minimalist approach on box of a JP cover than anywhere else.

I could be wrong but I don't think the worldwide release was ever meant to be simultaneous. I've seen a load of people commenting along those lines, and I assume they're basing it on the Gematsu article which did say they'd release worldwide in Spring at the top of it, and did get a Gaf thread which highlighted that bit, but the article links to the Japanese debut trailer. The trailer does have English subs but I'm not actually convinced the date was ever meant to be taken as a worldwide one. The Siliconera article only lists Spring for the Japanese release, and The Vita Lounge also only says that they'll be released worldwide, not that Spring is the worldwide date. It gives Kadokawa's Fall Media Briefing as a source, but all I can find for that is this, and that doesn't seem to suggest anything simultaneous either.

(I know astronomically speaking Spring ends on the 19th June but releasing it on the 16th seems to be cutting it a little fine or winning on a technicality or something :p. Even moreso because I tend to think of Spring being March through May)
