To celebrate their 600th issue, Japanese gaming magazine Dengeki PlayStation put out a questionnaire to numerous game developers, using these informal interviews to ask them about specific details on their projects. Arc System Works’ Toshimichi Mori, who is perhaps best known as the lead mind behind the BlazBlue franchise, was asked about the possibility of his series crossing over with Guilty Gear.
