Aaa what a treat. I started the game really unsure of any of the core characters, but by the time I made it to the final dinner, it definitely felt like spending time with friends. Nothing gets me like a big group character hang-out. : ) I'm glad the tradition of gradually charming the player continues.
Two points of feedback:
a) I find the opening main menu screen really busy. I've never had this problem before but I actually had visual trouble finding the menu options. I had to take a pause. Just a consideration that it may be worth playing with the design.
b) (The sillier one) I love and would protect Lucille and Winnie with my life, but among the ladies I wish there were a third option other than impish-cutie and straightlaced-naive. They're both "sweet" but I can't imagine romancing either one. A DLC character? Evil villian? Heck, I'd even just take our resident shop-sweeper being gender swapable (a la Persona 3's concierges). Just wishful thinking~
Anyway, regardless of the direction the game continues to develop - very much looking forward to release. Wish your team the best in making it to the finish line.
PS, Auntie sure is lucky snagging the heart of Quinn... good taste.
