1. Is there a particular connection between each character’s outfit and their personality?
Nomura-san: I tried to exaggerate each character’s image according to the essence of his/her personality.
2. Which came first? Were characters designed to match the Tokyo setting, or was the setting molded to fit the characters’ style?
The real-world Tokyo setting came first as the foundation. Though the game is set in the real world, we can create a fantasy-world feel as long as it’s somewhere users never been to, I thought.
3. How are characters’ outfits related to their behavior?
The outfits are based solely on characters’ personalities and not their moral nature in the game.
4. Were any of the characters based on specific people?
All were created from scratch.
