I feel like it should be noted that Almaz design is likely inspired by Ash from phantom brave. Both designs are similar and there are a few instances that implies that. It makes a subtle nod when Almaz connects with Marona in the post game causing Princess Sapphire to be upset or how Almaz knows Phsycho Burgundy in DLC which is a staple move in phantom brave.
One more important detail is that Ash and Almaz have the same japanesse voice actor Hiro Shimono.
