This Fits Them So Perfect I Can't - Blog Posts

i was always bothered by the lack of like official concept art for kim kitsuragi that's available. there's like, three total pictures? which made no sense to me given how he's a main character, he's there with you for most of the game, how can this be all of it. where's the early iterations. alternate designs. turns out it's because they apparently drew him once and were like "oh this is perfect. we can't improve on this. we nailed it" and just moved on

i once joked that given how little insight there is into his creation and how little concept art there was of him, he probably just appeared fully formed in the game one day. apparently i wasn't far off. his portrait is literally from pre-production just with colours slapped on it. "a slam dunk from the get-go". character of all fucking time
