Oh, I don't doubt the multiverse angle was the main hook all along, either. But I do still think moving things on to
"Brave Cereza"for our protagonist this time around is both an interesting and deliberate choice. And one that probably would've been largely unnecessary if it was just going to be Taylor, as per usual.
After all, at least for Bayonetta's sake, the games are designed predominantly with the Western script and cast in mind. If talks had broken down a very long time ago, that would've been plenty of time to make a few script alterations, and even maybe go with another design for the main character, herself, to account for this change in direction.
We are talking about the same Hideki Kamiya that had to oversee an overhaul of a game that was originally a Resident Evil title, before it then had its familiar Biohazard "super science" elements replaced with demons and magic, all because of various real life circumstances. To say I could see him and his team going to these lengths, even for the most minor of things relating to a change in the (Western) actor is something I could feasibly see, at least! LOL
Speaking of "Redgrave"...the more I learn about
Viola, the more I'm convinced that they too, are the realization of an idea that Kamiya's probably had swimming in his head for the longest.
A dorky descendant that later inherits the same demonic power as her predecessor...?
Ay.....ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy~?
