Well, we can expect some Musou in an hipotetic Japanese Total War, ergo PSO2 a-like game.

Wait, isn't this the same guy who screwed over (or rather fired) Tomonobu Itagaki?

Yes, since he worked from December 2001 – November 2010 (9 years).

Then again he is also the guy that was in charged when they rebooted Ninja Gaiden and created Dead or Alive 2 and beyond, which really was the start of that fighting franchise (since the first one was very VF like with girls).

Says in his Linkdin that he has been working in that position for 8 months, since October 2014.

I think that is still mobile development, since Sega Networks isnt an official firm now...its more like Sonic Team or R&D1 happen to have internet presence

Fair enough, I trying to remember the whole incident, the only thing I can recall was that Itagaki not pleased about his contract not being honored.
