The official explanation of "God of War 5" is that the new and old Kratos meet
Recently, Santa Monica Studios released a post-mortem talk, during which he talked about the imagery represented by the scene of Kui Ye sitting on the throne in the Valhalla DLC.
Santa Monica stated that the imagery of the throne recurs throughout the DLC and is always at critical moments to illustrate the impact Kratos' past choices have on his ability to move into the future.
The climax of Valhalla and Kratos' narrative journey also revolve around this visual focus, with Kratos once again facing the throne, this time including his alter self when he first sat on the throne – younger, more cruel, ready to act on the person he might hurt without hesitation. ”
"We deliberately referenced the ending of God of War (2005), but we didn't exactly copy his sitting position. Working with Bruno (the director of the game) in this regard is an important part of ensuring the right look. Animator James Che said. "We went through a lot to get to this effect, but we knew we had to get the scene right. ”
Final Fantasy 16 doesn't want to rely too heavily on DLC
Recently, Naoki Yoshida, producer of Final Fantasy XVI, and DLC director Takeo Kamooka discussed the upcoming DLC and the development process of Final Fantasy 16 in an interview with foreign media at PAX East 2024.
"One of the things I wanted to avoid the most during the development of Final Fantasy 16 was that when the game was released, the game wasn't complete enough and players needed to play DLC to understand the game's main story," said Naoki Yoshida. I don't want to do that. “
"Final Fantasy 15 was released earlier than Final Fantasy 16, which announced four DLCs at the time, but had to cancel two. You can't understand parts of the story without playing the DLC. From the beginning, we didn't want this to happen with Final Fantasy 16 as well. ”
