Rinne

Music

Some of the unused music from Falcom's The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and Zwei!! as well as a track from Xanadu were rearranged and used in Rinne.

Name

The game was originally code-named Relics 4.

References

There are some references from Falcom games in Rinne, including Ares from Brandish being a playable character and Galsis from Xanadu as a boss enemy. There are also references to two Bothtec games, Topple Zip and Youkai Detective Chimachima, in the form of two major characters, called Zip and Chimachima.

Development

While Rinne lacks a credits sequence, an in-game cutscene reveals a name of one of the programmers, Kouyou Suzuki, and that the game was in development by Bothtec, not mentioned anywhere else in the game, as early as in 2002.

Graphics

Rinne uses models from Bothtec's cancelled game, Relics: the Absolute Spirit, which was supposed to come out in 2005 on Xbox.
