Translation: fairymisao

Editing: Sol Radguy

Host: Archive.org

Decently long interview with Daisuke where he talks about his childhood, character design/story inspirations, and music. The original document had some typos and punctuation errors that I fixed. The translation itself isn't bad, but I'd like to double check some areas one day.

Guilty Gear X Drama CD

A bunch of the cast have a big fight over some Old War Technology (black tech).

There are significant errors in Ed Chang's translation (& possibly in Aegis High's & Volcanic's, which worked off of Chang's text), the biggest of which is the infamous "Johnny Sfondi" last name mistranslation. Cross-reference information presented in these texts with more recent confirmed canon before using it as a source or citation. The errors weren't made in bad faith and are just honest mistakes.
