It's an interview about the initial stages of development of 999, and what was changed or not in the final version (so don't read it if you haven't played the first game YET)
Spoiler:
Finally here are some nuggets:
http://www.siliconera.com/2010/12/17/ch ... ranking-5/
http://www.siliconera.com/2010/12/23/ch ... ranking-1/
These are posts ranking the 999 characters according to popularity (again avoid if you didn't play 999 YET)

Yeah, Lotus definetly came as a surprise to me too. I understand why June is so high on the list though! Clover is one of my favourite characters, but I would never rank her no. 1... am I wrong to assume that it got something to do with the way she's dressed or something
?

There's no big mystery, really. Just notice the top 3 are precisely the females. Since most of the gaming population is male, these polls are just informally transformed into "which chick did you like the most?". Clover then wins because she's so over the top adorable, the way she dresses, the semi-loli effect, and also because of the axe ending (it's a bit weird to me, but many people love that ending). Lotus loses because despite of the boobs she's probably a bit too motherly.

Yeah, I thought Lotus would rank waaay lower because she's the most mature out of the females, but apparently just being female is good enough to almost override that.

Clover, June, Lotus, Snake, Santa, Junpei, Ace, Seven, The Ninth Man
And taking into account that Japan loves (note the use of the word 'loves') young women/girls, I think it's a pretty fitting scale of most hot to least hot. If I were to rank characters from most hot to least hot, I'd just swap Lotus and Clover, and then I'd pretty much agree (but what Ace lacks in hotness he makes up for in dignified...ness <3)
(but if it was 'favorite character' rather than 'hottest character' the list would look a lot different)
Also wow, in Clover's concept art she looks really really ugly

Are you talking about the official art with the ultra suggestive pose? 'cause I can't agree with that at all.
I don't find her earlier designs too attractive, but that's it.
And people should remember how the voting for these lists goes: each person only votes for their favorite. So characters like June who receive very polarized opinions (people frequently seem to either love or hate her) don't actually "pay" too much for being heavily disliked by some people. It's only those who really like her that count. Contrast that with say Jumpei or Ace. Sure, many people like them, but being the favorite is another story.

Yep, which is why I hope anyone making such a poll would have the foresight and good sense to just remove him. He's really no more of a character than "Guy x" and "Cap" (hell, arguably All-ice has much more of a specific presence than any of them), and no one feels the need to count those.

Concept art, not official art
(although tbh, I don't particularly like that style the official art is drawn in........... the sprites are much better imo)

It's hard to ignore the guy since It's a game about the number 9, and he's #9. Kinda gets a free pass no matter how unworthy.

I'm not saying I don't understand why he tends to be included. Just pointing out that including him in a "worst character" poll makes the poll worthless: I expect he would hog so many of the votes it would make the voting for the remaining characters meaningless.

And the 9th Man's face in the beginning was epic. Maybe I should write a story about what could happen if he hadn't die...
And I heard there's a novel version of 999 in Japan only. Is that true?

I'm in two forummafia games, and I'm GMing a third one, along with tons of Epicmafia, and I have a cold.......... heh heh ^^'
For the art design, it looks like they're doing a '2d sprites with 3d models' sort of thing, which I think is fine.

2D sprites with 3D models doesnt sound so bad. Maybe the actual backgrounds in the novel parts will be 2D.
I think I read somewhere that 2D sprites would be used only for flashbacks... Don't remember where right now... (maybe in the neogaf thread... or here...)

@groupoid: the "snippet" is something we're also talking about in the 999 thread.
Spoiler:
Like I thought, you're talking about this quote:
"Uchikoshi: Actually, there’s something very important hidden throughout the entire game. If you figure out what, make sure to write “Spoilers!” when you talk about it online. I tried to make a game that people would want to talk about, even after they finished it. The ending wraps everything up pretty well, but there are some things that are still left unanswered, if you look carefully. You can discuss those things with your friends and other people on the internet."
My opinion, the "very important thing" is obviously Zero's identity. This is THE single most important mystery in the game, and the most deserving of the "Spoilers" warning. As for the "things left unanswered" the wording implies they are minor stuff. I think he's merely referring to ambiguous stuff like All-ice or Snake and Seven's actual involvement in the plan. Didn't find that quote particularly noticeable the first time I read it months ago, nor I do now. Plus if you check question 33 in the Q&A:
Q: Is there any end secret not revealed?
A: I believe all the important parts have been revealed in the game.

I may be mistaken, but I was under the impression that this quote was not from the Q&A...
Edit: It's not from the Q&A. It's from the interview I posted at the top of the page.
http://www.siliconera.com/2010/12/24/ch ... old-story/
Which ties in to the point I was making before about taking him literally or not. The Q&A was WRITTEN by him (or the answers in the Q&A, I guess), which means there was some care in the choice of words. Interviews, on the other hand, are generally not, so you should always take specific wordings with a grain of salt, as it were (or maybe it's a lump of salt for interviews, and a grain for written?
)

Anyway, to be honest, I doubt Speed Racer's clothes' design have little more to them than "looking cool"; considering most of the game is first person, I think it would be a little cheap to have a plot point be related to something that should be apparent, but that you can't actually see.

Actually if you compare Zero in Good People Die with the official art of Zero from 999 the mask is ever so slightly different.
