This interview was conducted and published by Saji-san, a hardcore player who also writes for Famitsu. He has some pretty interesting gameplay vids on his Twitter page, do give him a follow here! https://twitter.com/sajiy1

SEGA's Dx2 Shin Megami Tensei Liberation (henceforth shortened as Dx2) will be celebrating its 3.5th anniversary on 22nd July 2021! We sat down (remotely!) for a chat with the Producer Tanabe-san, who is joined by his two newly minted directors Iwasaki Tomoki-san and Yamamoto Hirokazu-san, who will be in charge of development and management respectively!
Let's hear what they have to say about the future of Dx2!
Changes coming starting May
Saji: Dx2 is entering it's 3.5th year soon! What do you think about that?
Tanabe: It's all thanks to the players that we managed to operate for three and a half years in the cut-throat mobile gaming market, thank you so much!! We are in the midst of preparing a big summer update along with a 3.5 Anniversary campaign, which we hope will be able to satisfy everyone! More details will be unveiled during our live stream on the 13th of July.
Saji: Any major changes to the 3.5 Anniversary (compared to the past ones)?
Tanabe: For starters, the management structure will be overhauled starting May.
Saji: Could you elaborate?
Tanabe: Moving forward I will be undertaking more challenges (TL note: Likely means he will take a more active role in other SEGA games), so I have appointed two new directors to oversee development and management! Development will be helmed by Iwasaki-san, while management will be lead by Yamamoto-san.
Saji: I see! Seems like we'll be shifting into high gear with these young directors!
Tanabe: They might be young, but these guys have been part of the Dx2 team since launch, so rest assured they have plenty of experience with the game.
Saji: Could you explain the difference between producer and director for our readers?
Tanabe: To put it simply, the producer is in-charge of the business-side of the game, while the directors are in-charge of the game's fun and quality. This doesn't mean they're only in-charge of greenlighting stuff but rather, they are involved in (and hence responsible for) the entire process from conception to eventual release.
