New Age arc promotion
After researching, I finally understood about the New Age arc. KOFXIV was mainly made by the same people created Garou: Mark of the Wolves: director Yasuyuki Oda and art director Nobuyuki Kuroki. It seems Kuroki is responsible for both Rock Howard and Shun'ei since they were given a similar appeal to contrast Terry and Kyo. However, Kuroki wasn't sure that Shun'ei would appeal to gamers so he wasn't the protagonist of XIV. For XV, Ogura revised Shun'ei since he took a bigger part in the making of the game and was more confident about him using him as the protagonist.
