Caligula 2 Famitsu Interview Tidbits

 ―― Different image color between the games?

Yamanaka: I discussing about the color representation with Oguchi, we decided to go with Neon Pink.
The first game(Caligula and Overdose) image color was Pink. Previous games have similar theme about ideal and reality world but this time, ideal world, origin and representation is different.
You will understand why we chose Neon after clearing the game.


――Go-Home Club Amabuki Marie has the same first name in previous game Ostinato Musicians Mizuguchi Marie and both characters voiced by same VA(Fuchigami Mai).

Yamanaka: We can't say anything about their relation but the girl in the 4th Anniversary illustration is Amabuki Marie

Oguchi: Mizuguchi Marie has the same ribbon but maybe the hair length is longer because the time passed.

――Previous game communication with the NPCs. Will Redo has the same feature as well?

Yamanaka: It will different form but the basic system is the same. This time, we give every NPC profile and some kind of regret, they're connected in causality correlation diagram. In the previous game Mobius world, the setting was high school and they have been terminated. This new game has various characters from child to adult. 
We added group quest in this game. NPCs have their own community, road with group name, the quest will involve more than one NPC. Of course this game will still have solve their problem quest. We're challenging a lot of things because it's have broader settings.

――Previous game battle system as a base. What about additional feature for Caligula 2?

Yamanaka: We're aiming to make Imaginary Chain will be easier to play and more fun.
We're doing a lot of discussion with Historia to develop the game.
About the new feature, we're adjusting the personality of the party member AI will react to for example this character move like this and this character using moves like this.
We're also adjusting how the player controlling 4 party members to fight the boss, mobs, AI controlled party member will create opening and the controlled character can do cool moves.


――Each character have really detailed design and matched with the generation. Lastly, please tell more about Amabuki Marie

Yamanaka: Marie Catharsis Effect uses 2 guns. Previous game main protagonist also used 2 guns.

――Now that you mention about it! Aside from Marie and Mizuguchi, will other characters have connection to previous game main protagonist?

Yamanaka: I wonder about that(laugh)
