That interview I found in 2ch a few days ago was fully scanned by some kind people in a chinese forum (All4Seiya); they also posted some character design stuff from NewType(?). It’s all here. They transcribed the important parts of both Reiko Yoshida’s characterization comments and the stuff Producer Wakabayashi had to say about the designs:

. F. S S- C! B2 X4 [; D, |oThey considered two options: using Seiya and friends as main characters again or create a new cast. After many deliberations, they decided for the later because they wanted the show to be accessible for a new audience. The show is a sequel, but also a reboot in a sense. It’s a new era with new Saints.
# ^- v# S# f1 q8 w: x5 soThe number one similarity between Kouga and Seiya is that they don’t fight for justice, they fight for people they care about. Seiya originally fought to find Seika, Kouga is fighting to rescue Saori.: P$ C7 P1 q/ |
oSince the Saint Fight is not a battle of “life or death”, the main characters can fight each other and grow stronger through competition. Kouga vs Souma and Yuna vs Ryuho are fights that are going to take place but the characters are fighting with mutual recognition, communicating their feelings through their fists.0 `# O8 I5 N6 x# @: C8 x
oVery soon, Mars and the Martians will take center place as the antagonists, however, the main characters will also fight stronger fellow Saints such as the Silver Saints.* q% p4 W9 N* Z9 H D5 k
