7th Dragon III Code: VFD’s Agent class takes inspiration from Jet Set Radio Future
Did you know that one of the characters in 7th Dragon III Code: VFD is inspired by Jet Set Radio Future? After a Siliconera reader noticed that the male agent had a Graffiti Soul and “JSRF” t-shirt on, the site confirmed with SEGA that this is a nod to that very game.
Character designer Miwa Shirow is actually a fan of Jet Set Radio Future. With the Agent class, she wanted to create a character that looked like a “street-wise youth,” in particular due to the fact that the class relies on various “conditions aligning in combat.” The male agent’s internal name also goes by the name “Jet.”
It’s also worth mentioning that for one of the buttons on the Agent’s chest, it’s a symbol from Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratori Tangram. This 3D fighting robot title came out for the Dreamcast.
