Well, it would be interesting if they set it around the Meiji Era where West powers were trying to get their hand on Japanese politics and the Samurai were being fazed out. Japan has a lot of impressive historical locations. I guess the Feudal Era would be more impressive though since it has more fighting and clan wars until the Tokugawa clan came into power. I mean, they're doing some seven years war in an upcoming game for Assassin's Creed. Well, until Tokugawa came into power, it was like a 100 years of war. 100 is a bigger number!
Joking aside, I can see why he wouldn't want to do it. Since ninjas and samurai are done quite a lot. Though a historical look at Feudal Japan doesn't seem like a bad idea in my opinion.
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward = best game ever made.
