What was mentioned before about the box having no references to Skittles is true. I remember reading about the game being a blatant example of product placement at the time it came out, so I went out looking for it and was confused that the box was just generic fantasy stuff and wondering if I was even looking at the right game. I do wonder if there's an interesting story to be told about this game's development.

There you go, this game was planned in a drunken stupor

Can't believe they based Jade's design in Beyond Good and Evil off of a skittlemancer.

I can only imagine how confused someone must have been if they had bought this game expecting a typical fantasy adventure based on the box and seeing all these Skittles references in it.

It's a shame that this run skips the cutscenes, I was just looking online at some of them and it seems like the devs knew exactly what a stupid game they were making and the dialog is actually pretty funny. There's a scene where she gets a Skittles from a whale's body and makes a comment about how it should probably look all nasty, but the marketing department wouldn't allow them to show it like that.

So the dev said no, then got drunk and reckoned if she made a longish RPG no-one from the company would ever play it all and then stuck some sick burns.

I just remembered that Lizstar mentioned that this had a development team from Simon and Schuster. :psyduck:

Touhou luna nights looks like it's a "search action" game (or 'Metroidvania') so I'll take a look but I will reserve a right to bail out if the anime levels will be too much.
