There was a lot of good information that came out of this interview. I really like how people are focusing on one question out of the many that was asked. There is so many other things that could have gone wrong with this, just check out the hundreds of other interviews that has the same questions followed by the same vague answers given in response.
I'd say this is damn near as good as it currently gets for someone interested in competitive soul calibur and for people who want some insight as to how the director of the game was thinking when creating the game.
