This time around, we start with a look at character customization.

According to Taura-san, the story has a very different impact depending on whether you play a male or a female character.

If you’re wondering about the qyestion “Can you pet the dog in  Astral Chain?” 

Yes. Yes you can. 

We also take another look at the many cats that appear in the game. Apparently, Taura-san is a cat-lover.

Last, but certainly not least, we get to hear one of the main vocal themes of the game, which sounds perfectly appropriate.

Recently, we also heard from Taura-san (who worked as Lead Gameplay Designer on NieR: Automata) on a few interesting elements that people may not know about Astral Chain.
