So later on, when they find out that the character is alive, they are relieved and think, "Thank God they’re not dead." or "Argh! It’s a trick!” (Haha) When a major character is popular, it seems like a big shock. Ochoko But there is one occasion when the characters appear to be dead, and everyone is tricked or deceived at that point. I wanted Phoenotopia to be a happy place that players would want to visit and return to. When Luffy beats up a bad guy, the bad guy goes quietly and agrees to not cause trouble anymore, haha. I think if people die the world takes on more gravitas and becomes more serious (unless you're going for "dark humor" but that wasn't what I wanted). Ochoko Also, I may be wrong about this, but one of my favorite things about Phoenotopia is that “as the game progresses, no one in the game dies from Gail’s perspective (no deaths are depicted)”, so was that the intentional direction for the game? But the artist said that the name "Claus" has a strong association with "old man." So we went with "Kitt" instead. (Technically, they do use the same graphic though, haha).Īnd yes, MOTHER 2 is a big influence too, haha! I love that game! I wanted to name Gail's brother "Klaus" as a tribute to Claus from Mother 3. But the guitars are different - Gail's guitar in her room is separate from the scientist's guitar in the secret room. There happened to be a scientist who liked to play guitar as well. Similarly, in the secret room of the final dungeon, that room was carefully crafted to show what the scientists were like. And the guitar was to show that Gail enjoys music and has some musical ability. So she has dojo robes and weights to show that she's strong, a picture of her family to show she values her family, books to show she's well-learned.

Quang We were very careful about what we put in Gail's room since what's in Gail's room is a direct reflection of who she is. Is that one of your other influences? Also, the protagonist's main weapon is a bat (Haha). The hidden episode wherein you learn the last song reminds me of some part of MOTHER 2. When comparing them, it seems the guitars have different colors.

I was captivated by the guitars appearing at the story's beginning and end.

This next question relates to a big spoilerĪre the guitars in Gail’s room the same ones from where you learned the last songs? 『Phoenotopia: Awakening』Interview List - フライハイタイムズ Interview(#6) ( フェノトピア攻略メモ。)" blogger who is also considered to be a representative of the Japanese Phoenotopia fans. Today, we would like to present part #6 of an in-depth interview with Quang, the original creator of “Phoenotopia.” The interviewer is Ochoko, "Phoenotopia Strategy Memo.
