>>3932233Adachi is a different enigmatic case, he's a villian and wasn't exactly expected to be as popular as he ended up. That's why the notion of marketing him wasn't thought of.
Akechi was definitely odd, since he was absolutely made to be marketed but I still remember when they'd straight up remove him from box art then kek. And I'm still sad Maruki never got his marketing chance.
They fucked up Basilio's own status by making him wield a weapon (Fidelio doesn't) and the fact that Fidelio is completely absent from the box art. If they had placed them together, it'd at least generate the sense to the player "I wonder who'll join us?? Or will they join together??"
They're kinda shooting themselves in the foot though because he's getting a steady popularity and I'm surprised they still market Grius even though he dies less than 5 hours into the game.
