Default Title Question

Hi David,

Why is Fahrenheit called Indigo Prophecy in North America?

That's one point I wasn't able to figure out

PS:
Keep up the good work. I love your game.

Here's what David and Guillaume said about this when we met up with them at E3:

Quote:
EM: I had a question about the name of the game. Whose decision was that and why the title change?

GF:It was Atari's decision. We endorsed it. It was a difficult title for the U.S., since it suggests September 11th [due to its resemblance to Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11]. I don't think that the name of the game mattered that much, and they felt they would have a better time selling it as Indigo Prophecy. But it wasn't that important to us; what matters is the game. I prefer the publishers change the name and let me make the game that I want.

EM: Does the title Indigo Prophecy correlate with something in the story?

DC:Absolutely! We would have changed it worldwide to this, but the title Fahrenheit was very well known in Europe and changing it there would have been more difficult.
