Some art that absolutely slaps has been made for those games to be fair.

Wow yeah she DOES still got it.

Thats so fucking cooooooool.

Oh I didnt know the name behind it thats awesome! I knew that for these fix specific sprites they were translated from Amano's original artwork shockingly faithfully for such a transition, but didnt know the name of the person who actually did the work. So talented!

Yeah the evolution of the sprites across different platforms and versions is also really interesting. Primarily the originals vs the standard set by the wonderswan verisons (even though the fandom wiki has the PS1 and GBA versions ripped, which is fine because theyre basically the same), the PSP versions, and then the Pixel Remaster versions. Ive been reviewing them in a private discord to like two other people lmao <3 These are definitely all good.

But I'm especially interested in the originals just because of what they pulled off with the hardware yaknow?

Yeah I get very passionate about pixelart. its a skill I want to learn. You dont happen to know a good Youtube tutorial or something for that do you? I gotta look into that.

who literally said Yakuza/LAD is made FOR Japanese Men first and foremost

Fujoshi Yakuza fans learning this

ETA: to be clear, Yakuza yaoi is based and I'm not making fun of these people, Yakuza belongs to yaoi fans of all stripes regardless of what he thinks.

I was thinking of doing POV chapters too but I'm not sure that works in Kinetic novel form because I want the charachter on scene, though I could have only one charachter expressing inner thoughts per chapter and just bounce around as necessary? Not a new character per chapter though no.

The other problem is some key characters have secrets lol. Which I'm not sure how to handle. Like it would seem kinda suspicious to have those characters never have POVs, or have their story be told through the eye of a bodyguard or something when other characters are not.

I think I'm probably still going to do something POV-esque because I do want SOMEONE giving personal perspective on events and I dont know that I want it to just be a handful of them. I guess i'll just have to be careful with the scope of WHO is getting POVs so its not so broad that its really suspicious when a particular character isn't.

Yeah my story is multigenerational (ive sort of mentioned this before to you I think?) so it tells the character's stories until they die (actually, even past that point, since an afterlife is involved, lmao sorry my story's scope is way to massive to deal with) and then a new generation takes over and such. I'll definitly have to think about including themes of war trauma, especially for the characters who are not grown when the story starts. Also a lot of the main characters have been training for war since early adolescence (and one grew up in a prison camp) even if they are young adults when the story starts, so I'll have to deal with that theme as well and the fallout that has on their psyches. Interesting to think about. Thats why I like talking about it. Brings up new themes I realize Ive underbaked. Which just ads more to the scope lmao but there it is.

This was originally true of my works because of the JRPG/Shonen inspiration but I ended up aging up a lot of my characters that were like 16/17 to 19-20, though there's still a few explicitly kid members of the party.

Animorphs slaps for this reason among many yeah. Its incredible how much genuinely thoughtful stuff is packed into these short little pop novels for kids lmao.

X-Men, Animorphs, Digimon, Avatar the Last Airbender, Naruto, Fire Emblem, Batman Family, quiet a few JRPGs....
