Famitsu has updated its website with (what is likely to be) a snippet of its magazine coverage on Steins;Gate. I’m going to be completely honest here and give my unbiased opinion on the game’s female characters.

They’re not very moe.

Hopefully, some other artwork of the characters will sway my opinion. I shall eagerly await in-game CGs (over the current “sprites”). For those that are wondering, the character designer is huke, the same person that brought us BLACK ROCK SHOOTER.

From what I understand from the article, there’s going to be a lot of “time” and “time travel” related stuff. Early in the game, the protagonist will meet the main girl even though she supposedly died a few hours ago. So yeah, time-related stuff…As to the character’s names, they haven’t provided any furigana yet so I’m going to hold back on referring to the characters with their names since I could be spelling it wrong.

I’ll be providing my crappy “second-handed” translation of any interesting information I find directly here. Any information that I’m confident in and have confirmed will be posted over at Wikipedia.

Anyway, it seems that they’re aiming for a fall release at the moment. That’s not really all that far away so it’s fine by me though I was personally expecting a winter release.
