(hmm, maybe Hardy never said Nausicaa was an influence, can't find a reference for that; further tie-in to Daodan symbiotes; general polishing) |

If '''Ergo Proxy''' had come out before Oni instead of in 2006, it could definitely have been a formidable influence on the game. It does seem that [[Nausicaa]] was an influence on Oni, as seen in the concept of a wilderness that is hostile to human life, an "outdoors" that is fundamentally toxic to us. Ergo Proxy takes place in the same kind of world. The female lead character is an investigator with a big gun and an android companion, living in an authoritarian society, though much more brooding and cynical than Konoko. | If '''Ergo Proxy''' had come out before Oni instead of in 2006, it could definitely have been a formidable influence on the game.
