Naming Chapters and Characters The title of the first chapter comes from the choice the player has to make at the end of it Matsuno says that this is because loyalty is not the sort of thing that should be seen as numbers, the way one in real life cannot see how much someone loves them in numbers, and hiding the loyalty parameter was his way of portraying that sort of frustration in a game. There is no way to know the exact number of loyalty a unit has, but using the help function on the unit’s name yields flavour text that indicates their current level of loyalty. All of the units in the game have a loyalty parameter which causes them to desert the player if too low, and Matsuno says that Arycelle in the Chaos route was made from the start to have a high possibility of leaving. Matsuno does not directly answer the question, but points out that Arycelle joins the player with low loyalty, and might leave easily depending on the player’s actions. In addition to Vyce, the differences in how Arycelle is handled also leaves a strong impression on players who went through the Chaos route first when they play the Law and Neutral routes is pointed out by the interviewer, who asks if this was intentional. The interviewer asks if the choice for the massacre was a surprise to the other staff, and Minagawa says that while he learned about the finer details of events in the game later on, because he needed to know things like how many maps would be needed when working on the game, he had an idea of the overall flow of the whole thing from early on. Matsuno says that when they working on the game, they thought that 95% of players would choose the C (Chaos) route: When considering the platform the game was to be released on, most of the target audience would be elementary and middle schoolers, and they thought that the players would not immediately go for the massacre, “the way nobody choose Flora (Nera) in Dragon Quest V first”, Matsuno says, chuckling. Though the routes are currently called Law, Neutral and Chaos, they were referred to as the A, B and C routes in development.
