Nowadays, the debate over whether the heroine of the game is sexy has become almost an endless tug-of-war between players. But as early as 2001, “quiescenceRidge 2has already made its own unique response to this question.
In a behind-the-scenes video included in the 2001 European special double-disc edition, Team Silent’s character setter Sato
Takayoshi revealed that Maria was originally designed to be sexier, but had to make adjustments because her plunging V-neckline was technically too difficult to handle. He said that being too beautiful comes at a cost, emphasizing that he does not pursue a “perfect woman”, but wants Maria to appear more real, flawed, charming and a little disturbing.
“Maria was sexier at first, but her unlawfully low neckline gave us too much technical trouble.”
Sato said he wanted Maria – the sexy avatar of the male protagonist James fantasizing about his murdered wife – to look “disturbing, uh…… Sometimes it’s cute. ”
He is proud of Maria for being “more realistic”, unlike the Final Fantasy series he mentioned, “the main character’s girl doesn’t even have a single wrinkle on her face”.
“If you’re attracted to a woman, she’s not perfect. If you take a few pictures of her…… Sometimes her face looks like this – not flawless. […] You fall in love with her because she is a person. ”
