Lengthy interview with Takaki from 4 gamer

I used GT so some things might be off (although props to Jui for clearing up some stuff at the discord) but here are the most interesting points
>He explains the idea behind his studio logo is that they are toy makers and the toys coming out represent the projects they have in mind. Accordingly, the girl waving the flag is meant to represent SK
>It seems he wants to make a game his elementary school daughter can enjoy
>He confirms again that the 3DS line is over but that he intends to connect it with the PS line, with PBS being the turning point for this. I'm guessing he means Kagura and Naraku
>He wants the next game to be numbered. So yeah, SK7 as title is all but confirmed now
>He's not worried about newcomers not understanding the story since he believes as long they like the characters, they can work their way through the plot
>He also says he would rather expand extra features like the dressing room than JUST focusing on the plot
>VR support is coming on a patch and he hopes people will like it. Needless to say, is only for the dressing room
>Takaki enjoyed the gatherings held to promote PBS and was surprised people asked him to sign things he wasn't involved with
>He's really happy with the results of the steam ports and wants for his games to reach more people, so PBS' port is extremely likely
>He's well aware of the overseas fans but he just doesn't really understand what western fans will like. Occasionally, he'll think about it, but he feels that if he tries to outright appeal to the western fanbase, it'll just fall flat.
>He acknowledges the differences between western and eastern ideologies and he's trying to balance the fanservice to avoid controversy. He specifically mentions having less sexy packages as one thing they take the west in consideration.
>He mentions that aside of having much more meetings and being busier, there hasn't been much change after being promoted at Marvelous last year
