PlatinumGames on Astral Chain – origins, Kamiya’s involvement, how Legions changed during development, more
Posted on 5 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Famitsu recently published an interview with Astral Chain director Takahisa Taura and supervisor Hideki Kamiya. While we posted some tidbits previously, we’ve taken another look at the discussion and have a bunch of additional information to share.
Taura knew that directing was a tough and lonely endeavor, but it was even tougher and lonelier than he expected. Since it was a new IP, it was hard to define what was right and wrong to do, so he tried out a lot of ideas during production. He gained even more respect for Kamiya since he’s been a director so many times before.
