>Tsugumi is supposed to be the heroine of the "Shinjuku side" of the story
You're right, I completely forgot about her. Her role in NEO was so strange, she appears super late and then everyone pretends she was totally important.
It's still strange that they didn't completely abandon the backstory of a never realized game, maybe they planed it as DLC at some point.
It could be a sign for things to come with Missing Link as well, but I hope that's not the case.
