Aurica Nestmile: Costumes

= Standard =

Director's Comments
Aurica's image is pure and innocent. Even without the whole Church thing, her image is white. Her character design was changed around a lot, and there was one point where she even had bunny ears.

These clothes give off the image of a world of magic and swords. While we created this game as a Fantasy RPG, it didn't end looking much as a pure fantasy one. Playing the game while Aurica wears this should raise its fantasy factor, and you should be able to see the difference.

The Mikos (priestesses) have a very healing spiritual feel. Because of that, we outfitted Aurica for her healing hands level in a arrange of the traditional Miko costume made by herself. I personally think that the japanese clothes are the most balanced of all, and these are the clothes I like the best. But that wouldn't be because of my Japanese blood...?

Director's Comments
I was worried about in which setting we should stage the level for dealing with her inferiority complex, until we decided to set it into a school. Though we ended discarding the magic school setting we had planned in the initial stages of the project (where the wizards used black robes). Personally, I really like wizards.

I thought that just cool and cute were boring, so I decided to throw in a joke! Because Aurica's sprite in this costume had a very big difference with the other chibi characters in size, we met with the unexpected difficulty of having to adjust it. To think that a joke like this ended taking so much of our time.

This was yet another of the various ideas I had for a [joke], but not for sensuality. Could this be the first game in which you can fight wearing only a bath towel? That's something I wanted to try making to see if I could, but it seems that I only ended complicating the story of the Soulspace because of this joke.

This one is my personal favorite. The angel armor already existed before we had set the current Girl Support System as an [armored form ability]. The initial system used to have a greater grade of freedom, but because of that, it ended getting discarded.

This devil costume actually was a big adventure we took. Originally we were having care of trying to design it as an cute imp costume, completely different to the sexy appearance it has now. However, Aurica is the kind of girl whose glamour surpasses the appetites of everyone, no?

= Ceremony =

Director's Comments
An orthodox wedding dress. We thought that both a chapel and a dress matched well with Aurica, and while the dress is expected to be used only once in the life, actually it's pretty strong when worn in battle, so I think she would like to wear it everyday.

This is a reward for those who have played the Atelier series, and a sample for those who haven't. The story is just for fun, so don't take it too seriously. However, Marie's caprice is real, seriously.
