And confirms much more. His words weren't "the story involves a character from Raccoon City and the Outbreak games." Hope that helps.So what the director said in the Biohazard France interview lines up with that.
I think the continuation of the Village story may happen in RE10. Director Nakanishi went from developing RE7 to RE9 and was not involved in Village. So the team that developed Village is presumably working on RE10 now. It's a staggered development cycle where they work on multiple games at once. I'm speculating that the criticism Nakanishi received for RE7 not relating to the story and characters of the past games very much, is why he decided to go back to Raccoon City and Umbrella and finish that story allowing the series to move on. RE10 developed by the other team could continue the story from Village.Hopefully, they’ll be connecting those games of the past with the games of the recent past as well. They’ve played coy by giving the Mold storyline only peripheral and tenuous connections to the overarching Umbrella storyline, and while RE4 was able to justify itself with that due to the involvement of 3 major characters of the past, this technically being the third game of the new era of the series, it should be linking the newly spun threads together, especially with whole sense of Going Back being the prevalent theme.

It sounds like a massive reach to assume the guy is speaking in "broad strokes" and would therefore misrepresent the game despite being aware of what he's allowed to say or tease. It's not some cryptic statement or misdirection. The guy was just answering a question live and went beyond the limit of the question to the point that his own translator left it out entirely.This is where we disagree, I know how these promotional interviews work, it’s just about understanding language; they speak in broad strokes. Alyssa is confirmed, so he’s telling the truth when he says "it features characters from Raccoon City, from Outbreak".
I see your side of the argument, it’s how I can say that you may be right, that there are distinctions. But i’m saying there really might not be that much to it. You have to bear in mind this man knows exactly where he is, what he can/can’t confirm or allude to and knows not to be too specific or revealing (it’s just language and verbal comprehension really).

This is a guy who constantly brings up Leon unprompted
while also shutting down speculation that he knows they can't deliver on and has even expressed excitement in wanting to talk about stuff they can't reveal yet.
I would believe a passionate slip of the tongue before ever assuming the guy was just carelessly speaking about his game for absolutely no reason at all when the question could have been answered in a much more concise manner.
According to your interpretation, he's setting a false expectation by mentioning characters from multiple sources as being involved in the story when he means just 1 character...He’s not misrepresenting the game, I don’t think so. And no it’s not cryptic either. Like I said I think his words align perfectly with what we’ve shown.
Why they bring him up isn't relevant. They don't have to, and that's why it's unprompted. They've taken a rather WWE approach to their marketing for this game, and that's what has made this entire thing unusual.It’s not unprompted though? Leon’s the subject of the rumours going around about the game, they’re fully aware. Not only that, but it serves to highlight the contrast Grace has with a seasoned vet.
He's given that same answer about Grace’s reaction to herbs in another interview as well but only mentioned Leon in it. Granted, having looked deeper into it, Leon was already a topic of conversation before that.And where is he "constantly" bringing him up? Either you’re being disingenuous or just flat out misremembering, because apart from the original reveal name drop, and we know full well why that happened, there has been only one other time:

…in which he decides to throw Chris in too, in the same context, unprompted.
Speaking a little too much about your game isn't the same as flat out lying about it. Which you're saying he's doing because he's "speaking in broad strokes" and somehow means something entirely different from what he's actually saying.What do you think a slip of the tongue is? It’s literally a careless thing to do.

They also told IGN before that they wouldn't be answering questions about Leon, which they likely told all of the media outlets, except IGN was the only one to reference it in their article.
You're saying 2 completely different things yet they both "line up." Doesn't make much sense, but sure. Plural language means one in this case.Your interpretation of mine couldn’t be more wrong. I don’t know how many more times or in how many different ways I have to tell you that what he said lines up with the facts we know.
It could be just Alyssa, still lines up. Could be more than Alyssa, still lines up. Does that help? Let me save you the trouble of telling me it doesn’t line up if he only means Alyssa: it does.
They literally don't have to as many companies often do. As a wrestling fan who is in tune with the dirt sheets and has witnessed time and again how internet rumors can affect booking to maintain the element of surprise from week to week, it seems pretty obvious to me the leaks are true and they're using them as part of their marketing to edge fans and keep people talking. But as they've shown us before, they have the power to control what people are talking about and will shut down anything they feel is too out of left field.They do have to, otherwise they don’t look tuned in to what people are talking about. But it’s hard to believe they’re not playing on it whether it’s true or not because they win either way: either he’s in it and it all makes sense, or he isn’t, and well… it all makes sense. Does that make sense?
They don't have to name anyone or even admit that Leon was always conceptualized as the protagonist for RE9. If they want to make a comparison, they could always just lump them all together as the classic protagonists and leave it at that.Leon and Chris are both RE’s dominating figures. Who else is he gonna mention? Jill? Claire? Rebecca? Come on.
So why is the interview down and why did his translator not repeat that information? Even Dusk has said the reason he leaked Leon being in the game was because he didn't think it would be considered a spoiler as it was just a fact about the game that everyone would know before they buy it and that there's other returning characters in the game he'd consider more spoilery/huge for fans. There's a lot of overlap in these interviews where Nakanishi will repeat the same stuff, yet this information, to my knowledge, is unique to this specific interview that was taken down...Final point; I don’t think he slipped up, I think that’s just ridiculous frankly, and I don’t think he’s choosing his words carefully. I don’t think he has an agenda, he just knows what he is ready to talk about and what he’s keeping under wraps. Okay?
