Uh oh! This thread is gonna be flooded with One Post people. So here goes my question i guess (i guess all the questions have to be about Bayonetta i guess...so sad i really wish he would answer my DMC question).

I really like the characters of Jeanne and Rodin. Do you think she might have her own game in the future with him included?

[aXL99]

Will there be any bonus levels or hidden paths in the game?

Who came up with the idea to use film reels for flashbacks? It's actually quite clever! One of the cuts from the recent TGS trailer had Jeanne running Bayonetta through with a rapier. That's some pretty brutal stuff.

I'm guessing that's how Bayonetta came to meet Madama Butterfly in the underworld. Speaking of which, those hands and feet Bayonetta summons belong to her, yes? Will we get to see what the real Madama Butterfly looks like?

The level design in Bayonetta is absolutely nuts. I love how Witch Walk also is incorporated into a destructible environment while the ground she stands on is falling to pieces. Just how was the team able to balance all that in the gameplay?

Just curious, which game engine is Bayonetta running on?

Okay my turn, I hope this question doesn't seem to foward. Is there a certain woman that helped inspire the character of Bayonetta? Or is she just your ideal woman?

I actually asked that same question, not sure if you wanna ask another question just in case it gets answered in the next podcast in 2 weeks. That way you don't waste your question.

A couple questions:

-How important is Jeanne to the story? Is she more important than Luka? I ask because I've seen a lot of Luka lately, and less Jeanne.

-Would you consider Bayonetta the best game created by you and your team?

-Do you have any current plans for after Bayonetta is released? Any new game ideas? Or will you be producing a sequel for Bayonetta?

-Can you give us any type of hint as to what the end-game bonuses are? Sound Test? Art Gallery? Interviews with Bayonetta? Behind-the-Scenes of the development?

Mr. Kamiya-san...

-It seems like, since DMC, you have made your games for a different system each time with the exception of Okami. Was this planned? Do you know what system your next game will be for at the moment?

-How did you feel about the Viewtiful Joe and DMC animes? Do you want there to be a Bayonetta anime, as well, in the future?

(These last two are completely random and trivial)

-Assuming you know several Tatsunoko heroes, and seeing as how VJ is based off of the Kamen Riders (not Tatsunoko heroes, I know), do you have a favorite Tatsunoko superhero (Ken the Eagle, Casshan, Yatterman, etc.)?

or

-Who is your favorite tokusatu hero? (My favorite is Casshan.)

So, tell us, what are some of your influences? Did you have diferent inspearations for every game? Any recurring ones?

[Selvaria]

Most of the things are already covered, I have one question but is not about Bayonetta.

-What do yo think about the new Okami game for Nintendo DS?.

[Black Chamber]

1). Did the movie "Equilibrium" have any influence on Bayonetta being able to shoot in multiple directions simultaneously with her hands and feet - and what does Kamiya-san think of this movie?

2). Is there a special significance for Kamiya-san using "Scarborough Fair" and "All 4 One" as the names for Bayonetta and Jeanne's guns? Are there other weapons in the game we haven't seen yet, that have these types of names?

How 'bout the Bernard Pivot treatment... Well, the last 3 anyway...
