That's a surprise. It seems that judging by the katakana "RIZ-ZOAWD" is pronounced a lot like "lizard." There appear to be some scans up on Jeux-France

Well, the scans say γƒͺゾッド (rizodd). Anyway, I really dig the art style.

Nice scan, thanks for picking it out!

Interesting pun regarding "Lizard." It reminds me of when they had those characters "Toka" and "Ge" from Wild Arms 2. Tokage = lizard I believe.

Naruke working on anything is news for celebration. Her working with Sakimoto is like, amazing.

"Naruke's presence is not that surprising, actually, since the game is being developed by Media.Vision, the studio behind Wild Arms."
And yet she didn't work on Wild Arms 5 or Wild Arms XF. I wonder why. Maybe she needed some time off? All I know is that I'm glad she's still in the game. I was familiar with her work on Wild Arms previously, but it was these last two years that made me really get into her music, and now she's one of my favorite composers.

My guess is that Naruke was tired of doing the "Western" thing. Maybe she disliked the direction the series was going in?
