So, looks like along with other recent news, the game's director is doing another global press tour and was recently in Taiwan, resulting in
this fairly detailed interview.
The interview has a good number of new images, though not much new information. Apparently the game will have 15 stages; only nine are shown, with no indication given on whether the larger number includes stages that appear to feature multiple areas. There was one portion of the interview I did find interesting, provided below in English by way of Google's translation, with pertinent text in bold.
Regarding the performance scale of the "clothing destruction" factor that everyone is very concerned about, the new appearance of Yang Ping said that because of the perception of women, it is unlikely that there will be too much exposure. He thinks this part may be handed over to another country in the South. It’s better to play the game on the island (laugh) (Editor: “ Life and Death Fight: Beach Volleyball ”). As for whether there is a difference in the performance of each platform version, he revealed that the official will publish a table of differences between the platform versions, including the difference between "specification" and "content" .
While admittedly, the comment about "exposure" is in reference to clothing destruction, the overall context in relation to what we're seeing from costume selection makes me wonder whether we really shouldn't expect anything too provocative. Call me crazy, but I notice the more skin (or bare chest) baring attire, like Honoka's black bikini top from the recent trailer or Tina's default outfit, all seem to feature an added jacket.
Maybe more concerning is the suggestion that Koei Tecmo will be releasing a table showing platform differences, including "specifications" and "content."
I watch trailers and look at some of the images from the game, and although the stages all appear overly sterile, I do appreciate the general improvement to the characters' graphic fidelity (if not necessarily their bodies), but going by the various statements made by the developer, I can't help but think the game is going to be rather schizophrenic, in its attempt to please too many disparate audiences.
