A random question that rose to my mind the moment that I saw that 5.3 has character sprites for all Humanoid NPCs just like the character (Fuuka is so damn cute)

How heavy on the performance / how hard on the development would it be to use these models, downsized, instead of the current sprites, so we can see our own character (smaller) and all the NPCs on the world (possibly including their various bondage situations) and not only when interacting with them?

bugs:yes,very interesting

Well, to be fair this is just about choosing to render the hover/interact sprite rather then the existing sprite (at least if we don't consider bondage variety), and there already exists code that renders that model, but on hover. It should be less prone to bugs than any actual new feature, assuming it isn't too many heavy calculations to render all NPCs on screen at once
