Guilty Gear -Strive-
Guilty Gear -Strive- is a new series within the Guilty Gear franchise. Strive features characters based on the cast of Xrd and XX, but redesigned for the new series.
| “ | Our intent first and foremost in making this game is to create something entirely new, rather than a continuation of previous games. This includes our direction with the music and designs as well. The reason for changing the character designs is that it makes it clear at a single glance that this is a new series within the Guilty Gear franchise. We aren't using previous titles as a base when thinking about changing the characters' moves. We are redefining each character from the ground up for this new game. | „ |
