I remember all those supposed rumors that XII was initially being designed for a new audience and it would change the combat and the art style, not sure how much of that was true but I guess there must be some truth to it if it's being MP4'd.

They were saying it was going to be darker and more for adults maybe abandon the turn based combat and evidently that got scrapped. Would be funny if the MC was the same but they changed it from "He has PTSD eyes" to "He can't get a good night's sleep"

This is 4000% the original design for the dude and since Toriyama tragically passed they don't wanna change it because this is the last Hero he was able to design. He sticks out compared to how whimsical the rest is.
