I don’t quite like the Amicus sprite within game. It doesn’t really match his previous sprites. And his proportions just look…off. His writing also doesn’t reflect his previous self in Adastra. He just feels really strange.
It has been three-odd years since the first so it would make sense if he changed physically to match his new title as emperor, still, i agree that it feels wrong i wont lie...
If we ever get a "Adastra 2" of any sort i would definitely like to see him regain a bit of his older built. It felt integral to the whole "Warm/Grounded emperor" we saw so much of in the first.
Then again as that other person noted, it could just be different perspectives of him, of course Marco would see Amicus as more of a comfort character whilst Scipeo would see him as more of a "Leader."
On a more positive note... The new sprites and art style look awesome! Virginia's whole character feels so much more complete with her new design, same goes for Neferu.
Well he is 3 years older and is standing a lot straighter that he did as a prince/freshly crowned emperor. He is simply holding a more regal posture because he is on a diplomatic visit to another civilization because that (along with the new muscle) is what he is expected to do to show the strength of the Adastrans/Wolves.
