Choice Does Not Have a Major Effect

Select A Twin.jpg
the starting twin you choose won't have a huge effect on the game. The main story doesn't change (aside the fact that your chosen twin will be the one standing in the cutscenes) and your goal will still be to search for your other twin. The choice simply affects the gender and look of your starting character but aside from that, everyting else plays the same.

Twin's Looks and Gender

Of course, being a different character, each twin has their own unique look. A simple fact but is often, the deal breaker when choosing among the two.

Twin's Voice

Being a different character, each character has a different voice with a feminine voice for the female twin and a masculine voice for the male voice actor.

I feel like Qiqi climbs and naruto runs faster with her midget legs. Just a psychological thing because she’s tiny?
