Not Rowan, Flower was the one that had more of a perfectionist side to him. When Omocat moved that aspect of him to Mari, Flower became Rowan after making him more angsty.

@catcactus1234 Жыл бұрын
iirc the reason there’s no beta art for Mari is because she wasn’t initially planned to be in the game. The first concept for Omori was a teenage NEET who had a toxic imaginary friend named “Tako-Chan” who would force him to do bad things (e.g. stabbing himself). There was also a lot more story involvement with those 3 dark sprites seen on the beta sprite sheet, one of which is Abby, who try to force Omori to come back to reality and confront his issues. Mari was probably a combination of those 3 demons, and Omori ended up being the “Tako-Chan” counterpart of Sunny who would force him to do bad things. It’s possible they had an idea of who Mari should be since she appeared in the trailer, but maybe she wasn’t meant to be in the game as an interactable character until much later in development. A lot of the story was focused on Omori and Flower/Rowan at first.

i think gender swap would be interesting, but it would take a lot of time to make female sunny story so i think omocat and team made a good decision, but i hope fans will make mod for female sunny (not just a sprite and etc but the whole different story which could be understandable for especially girls).

As far as I know, and please correct me if I am wrong, Mari was created, designed and added into the game quite late into production (it's hard to define "late into production", but considering that the game's original idea started in 2012, Mari's creation could date back to 2016 or so). Having removed most of the OMORIBOY's backstory and having to start anew, they created her. You could say she is the last main character that was created for the game.
@Nintendogs08 Жыл бұрын

True, it was pretty obvious that in the early stages it seemed like Omocat's main view for Sunny/Omori was just that he was a kid in some wonderland world hanging out with his friends (at least, that's how I've viewed it), even to the point where there was a lot more things to do in the dream world while the real world was mostly just to make the story progress

Maybe although on Omori's website there's a picture of the comic version of Omoriboy & it looks like Mari (or a character that resembles her) appears at the end. It doesn't look like Mari was a one-off character that was scrapped & then revisited either since she appears in the 2014 trailers, mostly in White Space although occassionally in the RW, along with concept art & an in-game screenshot also probrably from 2014 of Sunny being in his room looking at Mari on the computer. The sprites at 1:15 also look a lot older than the ones from the 2014 trailer. I'm not sure why she doesn't appear in concept art more though
