Here is a snippet of an interview with Iizuka-san, by Dengeki Online Translation courtesy of @SonicJPNews on twitter "I received opinions saying 'Green Hill is a stage too familiar!', but this is a place where I wanted to appear when looking at the whole game. The reason is… I cannot tell you yet..." ahh, mysterious!

About it looking like a downgrade, it's definitely improved over the last 3 different looks we have seen of it, the newest being the screenshots which have better lighting than the videos. Polishing comes last in development which can go a long way.

Either way still excited, there's not enough negative for me to be that worried. I did suggest awhile back that the third character could be a customizable character, my only evidence of this is the "Join the Resistance" slogan the adverts depict.

If the third character will be a character creator, I wonder how flesh out it would be. I've had similar ideas for one myself so I wonder if there would be the choice of abilities, type-classes or the choice to be dark or heroes. Yeah there's that and the way Iizuka has been talking about the third character can exactly back that up cause I can't remember the specific things, just keep your eye out for the concept, oh yeah also Sonic Team is really experienced in character creators, working on Phantasy star
