seems like it was a much smaller game before sony/shuhei got involved



The interview was conducted in French with both the technical director and creative director of the game

Translation via the purple forum:
  • He says Shuhei Yoshida approached them in 2021 and after seeing the prototype they agreed on a contract
  • Sony provided full localization support, marketing, full QA testing and tool sharing from other Sony studios.
  • Game was inspired by 90s anime
  • The game's scope was supposed to be really small before the Sony partnership
  • Start of the game is linear when you reach the City Xion the game opens up it will be the starting point of the narrative of the game
  • 60% of the game is full on action, 40% is reserved to the story and narrative aspects
  • Game has more than 20 boss fights from humanoid boss fights, to Shadow of Colossus-like boss fights
  • 30 outfits, accessories like glasses, multiple haircuts, none of them will change the gameplay.

Even with Sony's assistance, the budget still cant be that high.

This game is about to cause a lot of sjw articles to be made.

If I'm a review outlet and as a critic concerned with if my readers will enjoy the game or not, I'm going to consider whether the boner-bait designs will affect their enjoyment. Plenty (almost all?) games have a little bit of T&A sprinkled in, to the degree that it's fair to say most people can enjoy the game regardless (like Sydney in FF15). But this is a game where it's so in your face that it can't be ignored.

If I'm a critic, my first loyalty is to my readers, and if a small percentage can't handle the score being affected by egregious sexism, then I'll deal with the blowback and protect my integrity.
