GN Version 3.1

Yet another series of tweets from director, Daishi Odashima…

- In response to a question about Namco Bandai’s new teaser site, Odashima simply responded with “Guess what?”
- “Cosplay is actually important. I read SE and SC1 characters were designed so that they were easy to recreate for cosplay!”
- As to why Ivy has such flashy moves: “That’s why Ivy’s moves are difficult to create and it gives the motion designers a hard time.”
- Odashima on Ivy: “She is a ‘Dominatrix’ after all.”
- as to the possibilities of Necrid returning: “To be honest, that will be too hard to do due to copyright issues.”
- Odashima’s answer to a request for individual characters to speak in their own language in the gam: “What are we gonna do with Astaroth, lol.”
- “Thx for you’re tweets. It does make a different game, but imagination is the key to create something new.”
