From the original release period to D.C. Re:tune

Shop bonus work after the original artwork is completed

Design requirements for D.C. Re:tune
According to CIRCUS director Lin's recollection, "D.C. Re:tune" required retaining recognizable character traits while updating the design to a modern art style suitable for new players. Natsuki Tanhara and Yuki Takano jointly responded to this request; Lin credited the final design balance to the judgment of the two individuals.
