Did they say that in this interview or you heard it somewhere? Also, is that all they say about it and any other things about the game you heard?

It's written in the inteview.

Just skimmed the rest. Stuff about information overload risk what with them annoucing three games at the same time, doubts over how bringing Kiryu back would be accepted what with the new lead character (Haruhi?) being more popular than they expected, and so on.

So you can read Japanese hey? If so that's pretty cool
