Sorry, but I never pictured former Tecmo big man Tomonobu Itagaki as aDragon Questguy. The guy who practically made the in-game breast bounce cool isn’t the guy I’d picture with his face in a DS, playing an adorable and colorful RPG. In the time between when he left Tecmo and when he started at Valhalla Game Studios, Itagaki had a couple of years off. Here’s what he told Famitsu that he did during that time:...
