According to the Illustrator who had drawn all the 50 plus characters and more, the game was planned for over a year. While some characters may look the same as from the original game, other characters may have a bit of an arranged look. For instance. Athena has a bit of a perm on her hair, Kensou looks a bit like Chris, and Saishu is not in his "Hakama" with the long sleeves, but a rough looking t-shirt.
