I find this kind of hilarious. Back then, you all kept going on about something like eternal love, saying you'd be willing to wait 8 years for that. And now? Not even a year into the game, and some of you have lost interest just because the sprites changed styles already?
And one thing, have you ever stopped to think about why Amicus et al. look different from Scipio’s perspective compared to the human’s? Whether the Parent affecting the human’s or Scipio’s cognition? Or both?
The tags include psychological horror there, so I’d say this extent of speculation is well reason.
That's what I was thinking. It makes perfect sense why Amicus would appear "stiff" and "intimidating" when in the presence of anyone but his human lover (especially the Khemians); not only is he the emperor of an intergalactic empire but he's also the face of the weakest sibling in the Galaxias. It's been 3 years since the events of Adastra and after the horrors Amicus witnessed (his imprisonment, attempted assassination on his brother, Cato's coup, the riots, death of Marco and Alexios's infiltration in the royal family) I find it completely reasonable to assume that he's matured since then now that he's taken on the responsibility of being the progressive emperor to an otherwise traditionalist empire. But that's just my 2 cents.
this vn is great and all, but i still can't hide my disappointment with the new sprites, it's eating me while i go through the story, i would've had drew them myself if i had the chance. i'm not saying it's bad it's just so different from what we're used to, for example amicus's sprite in interea was so great, i wish if they went with it.
