Cissnei is very interesting to me as well as she didn't appear in the OG. But third heroine? More elevated position than Yuffie then? I wonder... Because of Zack?

Since this character appeared in a previous work, I made sure to maintain the original design elements while adapting her face to match the new visual style of this project. One of the key aspects I focused on was ensuring her connection with Zack and emphasizing her own presence and personality. In the full-body CG, I carefully adjusted the silhouette of her outfit and made subtle changes to her face brightness, differentiating her from characters like Aerith and Tifa.

During development, I aimed to create a well-rounded character who could be considered the "third heroine." My goal was not just to make her cute, but to convey both strength and gentleness. As the project neared completion, I remember feeling excited as we moved closer to achieving this balance. The costume, carried over from the previous work, was adjusted to avoid looking too bulky while ensuring it fit her feminine silhouette, especially with the shoulder armor, which was designed to maintain a graceful shape.
