My guess is that they had planned to release the image of Q this week and have us all wonder who that pig-astronaut-kid was. 9 Participants revealed, everybody thinks it's over and we wait for the trailer.And then, without anyone expecting it, they tweet out the mugshot of Plague Doctor next week. That would have hyped everyone up because we wouldn't have known if he was just another Participant or Zero.Not sure what happened, but looks like Spike-Chunsoft/Famitsu ruined their plans and it doesn't really matter anymore. Now the wait for the trailer has started, less than a week awayedit:Of course they were, but I think they didn’t know about it when they started releasing the mugshots on a weekly basis. The US and the Japanese marketing plan might not have been perfectly aligned.Spike-Chunsoft went with an 8-page article in Famitsu that was featured in the front of the magazine; that’s the old but reliable way of announcing a game in Japan. it’s possible that Famitsu could give them those 8 pages now but not in the next few issues because other games were already booked for those pages or something and Spike-Chunsoft just went for it.
