Man, this ain't right.... Sissel was WAY cuter before than these new sprites. How the heck did he go from "homeless, barely affords food (his wallet is literally empty) Sissel" to "more buff than Owen who works out at the gym frequently"? Someone who hardly eats doesn't have a muscular body like that. Shirokoi better rewrite his route if he plans to make this sprite change. I hardly believe that musclehead Sissel can delicately work on his white chocolate sculpture for the culinary contest with those bulging pecs not breaking the chocolate between his fingers.
Still hoping for this, https://twitter.com/shirokoi/status/1515507737756639232 owen looks so so so so much more different here and it just takes away THAT perfect feeling. The old art gives such a nostalgic/soft feeling which is what i loved about this game (i dont play Temp. Ballad cause im only really into Repeat style). His body looks amazingly lean and really fit, but in the new one hes looks like a more aggressive hulk/extreme body builder contestant (not saying its bad) . But they did say that its more difficult/time consuming drawing the old way..maybe im just that one gay who does like everything buff'd up. I do wish Sissel went untouched, specially with his lore being that he survived on the street and such.
Well, canonically, Phil would actually have muscle, mainly due to the fact that hes the black cat, as well as the....one scene in his route that implies he was kidnapped, he probably works out, and while yes, his original sprite is cute, i think shiro decided to go with a bit more realistic body types this time around, even cole (from temptations balled) has some kind of muscle
