Opdated OP with interview of Kotaku to the Tecmo Koei president:
- President of Tecmo Koei Hisashi Koinuma talks about the faithfulness of the game to the manga:
“The first game needs to follow the source material,” Koinuma said, “but the later sequels can incorporate more and more original elements. That way the fans will come along as the game version progresses.”
- Kotaku asked:
“So, the game will have Levi?” I asked. “Of course.” he replied.
