First off just discovered this game and I am super stoked!
Now for the reason i am posting. Are there any plans to have anime character portraits next to the dialougue boxes when conversating? i feel it adds a more intimate connection to the villagers.
I know I'm 4 months late to the conversation, but I thought that I might as well say that I asked them on Facebook about this and they replied with, "We're still deciding if we want to have portraits for characters in the game at the moment." I hope that they add portraits, but right now, it's not very clear.
I don’t think so. They showed off a gif of a store NPC a while ago and there was no portrait. The character models are very good quality and they show emotion already, so adding portraits would likely just add to their work load without really adding anything to the game.
I really hope so though there might not because it's fully voiced, which mind you I'm super stoked for.
