Yeahh I agree with the characters looking out of place. I originally thought of making my own unique sprite for all the different characters seen throughout the game, but that ended up being quite a hassle as a first timer. I had to stick to the character generator provided in Rpg Maker, even though the characters didn't exactly fit the aesthetics of the rest of the game.
Text description of everything was also kind of a necessity, since the art side of things really proved to be a bigger challenge than expected. Guess I need to improve on my art alot haha.
