Secret Voice
The following is a transcript of Yasumoto's "Secret Voice" message found in Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- and Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2[1].
- Good morning everyone, I'm Hiroki Yasumoto, but you may know me as Raven in the game. Can I hear it for the Raven players? Thank you very much.
- It would certainly be difficult to call him a "standard" character. He's tricky to play, but if you can understand his appeal, surely you'll fall in love. That is a very good thing.
- You see, while recording this character, I've arrived at the conclusion that all the directors and producers are weirdos. Perverts, even... It was a tough session to get through.
- I assure you that that is by no means representative of me, as a person. I would never tell someone to hit me. Ever. I have no moves where I stand there, ready to get hit in the face.
- I do believe Raven's "uniqueness" comes from the S&M play, but that bit's obvious...
- What really amazes me is how well the character is able to justify both sides within himself. You don't meet characters like that every day.
- I suppose I should happy that I met such a character. No, really... I should be happy.
- And YOU! You fans who discovered and found this character -- you are the true heroes. I hope that you, too, find joy.
- Please enjoy yourselves as you watch Raven get poked, prodded, punched and smashed around.
- Not to say the other characters don't have their charm, too. I encourage you to go cheat on Raven all you want. No, really, I do...
- As long as you come home to Raven, Let's be honest, there's no one you would rather have waiting at home for you.
- Sure you have some late nights in the office, sudden business trips that are suspect. But Raven knows... That in the end, you will be back. He's waiting for you.
- So, play through the entire game, and fall in love with Raven. Please. And thank you.
