Gigantic RPG Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is out now, exclusively on Nintendo Switch, and whether you're already deep into the adventure or getting ready to dive in, you might be interested to learn more about the game's character design! Previously, main character designer Masatsugu Saito gave his initial thoughts about his work on the game, and this time you can find out how he approached some of the main characters!
Here's what Mr Saito had to say:
This is Masatsugo Saito again, and this time I’d like to talk about Rex and the other main characters.
To delineate the age difference between Rex and Pyra, we designed the characters to have a clear difference in height. Although this makes Rex look small, adding slight emphasis to the size of his arms and legs allowed us to make his movements look bigger while he fights or performs actions in the field, all of which helps to cover for his smaller stature. Rex’s outfit is a diving suit because he is a salvager working in the Cloud Sea.
