Quadratum had designs elements that evoked Shibuya from Square Enix's franchise The World Ends with You as well as Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which eventually was reworked to become Final Fantasy XV, while Yozora's design was similar to Noctis Lucis Caelum, the main protagonist of Final Fantasy XV, and part of his appearance mimicked an early trailer for Versus XIII.
