皆さんこんにちは!「アルトネリコ」のディレクターをやっとります、土屋です。
こちらのページでは書きたいことをガンガン書いていこうと思います。ゲームのこと、世界のこと、音楽のこと、絵のこと…企画立ち上げのこと、などなどなどなど、本当に皆さんにお伝えしたいことが山ほどあるんです。 |
Hello, everyone! I'm Tsuchiya, the Director of [Ar tonelico]. I thought that it would be a good idea to write in this page all the things that have been going through my head about the game, about its world, music and pictures... about how this project started, and etc. There are many things that I have been earnestly wishing to convey to you all. |
そしてそのモデルケースとして、プレイヤーである「主人公」と、一番身近な存在「ヒロイン」との関係に焦点を当て、徹底的に描きました。それが「ムスメ調合」なのです。 ムスメ調合というシステムは、主人公とヒロインの関係に集約した、本当の愛情を表現する為のシステムなのです。その愛情とは恋愛よりも大きな愛、包み込むような愛です。主人公(=プレイヤー)がヒロインにしてあげた行動のちくいちを、ヒロインが反応して返す、それによってヒロインが頑張る、そして強くなる…。こういった一連の流れを、物語のみならず、双方向性のあるシステムによって構築しているモノなのです。 |
And using this as a model case, since the [Heroines] are the closest characters to the [Protagonist] controlled by the player, we wanted to focus in the relationships between them, and I think we sketched them very thoroughly. This is what we call [Girl Synthesis/Support]. Girl Synthesis is the collection of systems we made for the relationships between the Protagonist and the Heroines, and all of them were created for expressing true love. The kind of love that's bigger and deeper than simple passions, that feels as if it was enshrouding the ones that feel it. Depending on the actions the Protagonist (the Player) takes, the Heroines will respond, and because of these actions, they will try to do their best, and become stronger... This how these systems flow, structuring all of these things, and they work through the ambivalence I said above, given they don't function only in the story. |
2つめは、絶対にやらないと決めていたことについて。本作では「ムスメ調合によって性格を変える」「自分の好きな人格を形成させる」といった事だけは絶対にしない、という事を、企画立案と一緒に決めていました。それは、ムスメ調合が上のようなコンセプトの元に成り立っているためです。人間関係や愛情、思いやる気持ちというのは、実際に心と心が通じ合う事で生まれるものです。それを裏操作や薬などといったものによって変化させるなどということは、例え1回であっても行ってしまったら、何の感動も、説得力も無くなってしまいますから。 |
The second concept are the things we decided we wouldn't do under any circumstances. In the game, you won't be able to make at all things such as [changing the personality of the girl through Girl Synthesis], or [Make your Ideal Personality for them], and this was what we decided at the same time we established the early drafts for the project. That is because the Girl Synthesis consists on superior concepts, which are the human relationships, affection, thoughts, feelings, which are the things that produce communication and understanding in the reality. And also, because that would be like getting changed through shady work or drugs, which once made once, they produce such an impression that no amount of persuasive power would make the addicts leave them. |
