Character designer, Kimihiko Fujisaka, has said in a Famitsu interview that he was embarrassed to see his designs from ten years ago and especially regretted Caim's design. When he redrew Caim for Lord of Vermillon, Fujisaka's main goal for his outfit was to do something which was impossible for the team to render during Drakengard's development.
