What Was Omori Originally About?

Ойындар

Omori took quite a few years to be fully developed, and in that time frame there had to be some stuff that was cut out or changed, one of those things being the main story. So, what was changed or cut out and how did that end up affecting the final product?

    I just wanted to point out that some of the quotes that were said in the trailer like "Too bad saving the world isn't easy as the games make it to be" were actually quotes that OMORIBOY said in the original comic.

    With just how long the game was being developed and how many times they had to switch RPG Maker versions means they probably scrapped more content, story beats, and ideas more than most of us can imagine.

    Omocat also did a stream on basil’s birthday where she showed his older designs (he was also supposed to be called Rowan) and talked about some stuff that changed, for example basil’s grandma was supposed to have a much bigger role has later gone to other characters

    I remember finding out the trailer for this game a long time ago, (2014-15??), and I used to think that this would be a game about this guy who didn't have any friends, and would go have friends in his dreams. I was so wrong XD But I was thrilled when it came out in 2020! I didn't even know that there was a possibility of it never coming out.

    I believe Tako actually shows up in the Omoriboy comic as a hidden figure in one of the entries. OMORI’s trying to stab himself but doesn’t, and if you click the panel it shows that she stopped him. There’s text in hiragana which reads “madamada” (“not yet”). Edit: there’s also a panel where Omori carves a figure in the ground that somewhat resembles Tako (given the tentacle-like limbs and the question mark on its face).

    Amazing video! However there is *so* much more stuff! Here are some things I know: Mari had a slightly different name, originally called Mary. Mary was very different to Mari, according to the sprite drafts OMOCAT released her hair was more messier, implying she wasn't a "perfectionist" like Mari, she was also possibly more of a dreaded figure then Mari. We also have this scene kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6auycyfhZWdYco.html take it as you will. The story was most likely redone somewhere in 2016 but the Mary name was changed to Mari somewhere in 2018. Overall great video! Its nice to have someone not go back to the "OMORIBOY HAD IMAGINARY FRIENDSS AND THIS WAS CHANGE S IN 2014!!!!!!" theory!

    I don't remember where I saw it, but I once saw something saying that Sweetheart wasn't going to be a major boss, and only became one because Omocat heard "World's End Valentine" and loved it so much she changed sweethearts plot, so that probably would've affected Spaceboy's plot as well. Also, I remember something about Mari originally being a princess or something in Headspace, but I really don't remember much about that.

    i'm pretty sure basil's name, appearance and personality were changed 3 times. First, basil was more like aubrey, although i can't remember his name. All i can remember is it started with an R. The second time he was changed, he acted like basil but he still looked different and had a different name. The last time he was changed, he was made into the basil that we have today. Not sure about this though, as i heard it a while ago. Also i'm not sure if this is the exact order of the changes. I just checked, and omocat confirmed it themself.

    When I think of scrapped Omori content, I always think of this scrapped dialogue and narration that someone found. (Trigger warning because this is probably grosser and darker than any of the things that happened in Omori) (also, don't worry, this is almost certainly no longer canon) During this scrapped dialogue and narration, Mari molests Sunny. I can definitely understand why this was scrapped in the final game.

So I just don't agree that that's any sort of clue about Sunny vs. Omori Boy's ages. Anyway, I'm not trying to be too critical here. This was a great vid and I love JJ Game's videos.
