Contents:¶
"HPP: The Fatal Frame series has introduced us to many terrifying spirits over the past two decades. Can you tell us where the team draws their inspiration from when it comes to creating these unsettling apparitions?
Shibata: When creating each title, we start by settling on the theme, and then we come up with ghosts that are in line with it or that can embody the theme itself. The order we went in was: coming up with the religion and rituals, the people that formulated the rituals, and the people who are sacrificed in these rituals and the ghosts that will appear in the game.
In addition, I go over the ghosts I have seen in real life and add the ones that fit in with the theme of the game."
