For those who don't know: between 2017 and 2019, Hideo Yoshizawa (creator of Klonoa) made a series of Twitter threads he named Klonoa Chronicle(s). These detailed the development history of the original game (with a few more afterward devoted to his involvement in Moonlight Museum and Empire of Dreams). The ever-helpful Klonoa @ Blog has archived all of them here - it's probably the most convenient way to read all of them.

The 15th thread has a part where he discusses one line near the end of the game that worried him during development. He wanted Klonoa to be the player's "alter ego,"* and it was very important to him that nothing would unintentionally separate the two.

In a response to what I believe is a now-deleted reply to the thread, he went on to mention an interesting and relevant tidbit about the Wii remake:

そうですねぇ、Wii版はプロデューサーの意向で日本語音声を入れることになったので、そうなるとさらにプレイヤーとの分離が気になってセリフを減らしてしまったので、結構叩かれました（笑）。

Very roughly translated, this means:

Well, the Wii remake's producer wanted to include Japanese voice acting, and that made me worried that the player would get even more detached [from Klonoa]. That's why I decreased the number of lines he had, but I caught quite a bit of flack for that (lol).

* The Japanese word he used, 分身, could also be translated as "avatar," "embodiment," or even "doppelganger."

Just some fun marker drawings I did of Klonoa while my partner played Door to Phantomile! His design (by Yoshihiko Arai) is super charming. Wahu wahu :3
