Sent this ask a while ago but I think Tumblr ate it so here it is: In which stage of game development are relationships between characters decided? Asking this because I recently found an old Final Fantasy VII relationship chart and originally some characters were supposed to have completely different bonds compared to the ones they ended up having in the actual game. These seem to be quite important plot points, so I assume that final decisions should be made before creating cutscenes? Or you can change stuff later if devs come up with better ideas?

For features like cutscenes, it depends on how much difficulty it takes to build the cutscenes. That could mean combat, it could mean itemization, it could mean summoning magic, it could mean narrative, it could mean cutscenes/cinematics. In the original FF7, the FMV sequences were set in stone.

This happens mostly after cutscenes (at the end of the race, in the Career mode (I can’t even play Career mode, because the game always crashes after the first cutscene)) and also when I was about to enter an online race.
