Kitase acknowledged anxieties surrounding the game's status as a remake and the second part of a trilogy. However, the overwhelmingly positive critical and fan response has boosted confidence and created a positive atmosphere for the final installment. Hamaguchi credits the team's "logic-based approach" to development, incorporating player feedback strategically while maintaining a clear creative vision.

Embracing the PC Gaming Market
