>Tomoko Nishii (Art Director): Seori's character was established first with the setting, “She is this kind of person,” and “she is the priestess of the Black Dragon.” The designers then developed the keywords and translated them into visuals. While there are various types of heroines, such as those who protect a young girl or act as a guide, Seori is specifically designed as the “older sister who guides Yakumo.”
>However, since the direction Seori guides Yakumo toward is “darkness,” it's more about designing her as an older sister who leads Yakumo to a darker place rather than bringing him to a brighter one (laughs)
>She is bound not just for fetishistic reasons, but because it serves a proper role.
>Yakumo's height is on the shorter side for this type of action game. This was intentional to create contrast between the characters, emphasizing Seori's “older sister” vibe and the difference between her and Ryu. Yakumo's smaller stature also makes the enemies seem more powerful and highlights Ryu's role as the great super ninja leading the way. These concepts are embedded in the design.
