I'm actually curious on how this would have played it out. This would have been a last minute twist i'm sure. Kyrie spends the whole game pretending to be a damsel and then BAM!!!.Funny you bring this up. In the early part of development, Kyrie was planned to be a key villain. IIRC, she was in on the plan to use Sparda-Lineage blood to power the savior. Concept art of the Savior implies she would have been the one to use it, not Sanctus.
yeah but this is just wishful thinking. Let's assume that they did introduce it well.I wouldn't like it if a random character became a surprise villain out of the blue.
For me, this surprise would work best if hints were dropped throughout the story, either through cutscenes or actual gameplay mechanics.
They could but it's really hard to drop subtle hints.yeah but this is just wishful thinking. Let's assume that they did introduce it well.
Remember how after you perform a shield-down Buster on Credo, Nero has a pained, regretful idle animation if you don't move right after the Buster finishes?(Bad-ass fight ensues where when the player uses Devil Bringer on Kyrie Nero tries to reason with her but upon failing, tearfully and brutally slashes her.)
I don't know what the text translates into myself.@DantesLink The concept art for the female Savior has Japanese writing on it and you said Kyrie was supposed to play a bigger role with said giant. Is that what the JPN writing says? Where did you get your info?
It was in the artbook i think.I don't know what the text translates into myself.
I'm believe it was a call made by the producers to not have Kryie be a villan. This was a long while back, would have to check development quotes and retrospectives, hopefully its not completely buried.
