I went to AX too, was really excited about mr harada (disgaea, etc character designer) being here. I went to his signing session twice and got a total of 4 signature at the end.
First, my most prized collector paint, it's titled "roll call". It's mainly disgaea 2, but you can see edna in front and laharl+flone at the top right corner.
This is a limited edition paint, right now only 20 exists, eventually it'll be limited at 101 copies (0-100). I got #14
By the way all the To: are in japanese きらし = kirashi in hiragana
Here's a close up look at the sig =o
I also got him to sign my copy of disgaea 3 which i got day 1 when it came out in japan.
The picture is a bit blured =(. Not using flash and try to take picture in my bedroom which don't have good lighting + tired and shaky hand wasn't a good idea i guess.
Last but not least for Mr Harada to sign, I had a t-shirt which i bought from the first (I believe that's correct) NISA booth back in 2005 AX. Back then they only had a very little square of real estate in the dealer's room, the size of the booth has definitly grown year after year. Also, after wearing this T-shirt usually once a month for 3 years, it looks like I will no longer be able to wear it anymore =(
Character designer for the new game a witch's tale is also there. She also did character design for the game "blade dancer" PSP. I have to say, the art is prob the best part of that game.
Her name is Taniel. Why would a japanese have such a name you ask? In japanese, her name is pronouced as tanieru which is like her real name, Aya Taniyama. I found this out from one of their localization staff who were also working at the booth. I got to know a few of them pretty well while waiting in line for signing sessions =)
The guy actually told me the secret project that they are working on next =o. It's gonna be a PS2 title of something that's pretty famous but NEVER made it out of japan.
I also go tthe yellow T-shirt that everyone else got during the SMT panel. So many pictures around so I won't post one.
Also about blue blaze, It was playable from a laptop during the con. The 360 you saw in the picture the guy posted earlier were for Guilty Gear 2 and Battle Fantasia.
There were 6 playable characters.
