I don't know why do you think so, but old portaits defenitly were more recognizable. Like, look at Rin, how much do you see her in that hat in game? Same with Maya and Miku. I double sure that portraits should at least change each chapter, because characters and their personality you mentioned actualy change across the game. Even beter if they would change when profile outfit is changed
2 big reasons why the old portraits are worse than the new ones:
Now I can look at the old and the current menu in parallel, the one we have now seems to be more onto "Sensei's first impression of this girl" aside from just being his students. If not, at least a certain part of this girl that is most memorable or most different from other girls to him; this probably ties to the fact that he is spawned into Kumon-mi.
Well, although I agree with all that you have said, main purpose of that menu is character selection. It is barely used for aestetic purposes, it's function is to navigate you into character pages. And this is why new menu sometimes pisses me off.
Yep, this is exactly why i'd love it to be synchronized with profile outfit selection. If you don't mind, nothing changes. If you want to deal with something that helps you of all people recognize character realy fast, you may choose. And character outfits are already spoiler-free because there have their requiements. Win-win.
It actualy reminds me of problem Blizzard faced when they remastered Warcraft III. Almost no one prefer new fancy graphics because it's harder to distinguish different units and understand what's going on. Functionality > Aestetic
By the way, it's quiet easy to mod them because since chapter 2 this states are controled by single flag. And I already know all "Broken" girls conditions from first chapter including hard to notice Miku breakdown between "Nightvision" and "You and Me and the Night"
Man, I really hope Sel would stir the good uncle route to the true ending cause I can't bear to see Noriko breaking for the second time. It's just straight up mental torture.Why do I remember this menu?!?! Is this what people called false memory?!?!

But I like the idea of changing portraits from time to time when appropriate to subtly reflect character status or progression (I think this would be most applicable when certain girls go unreachable due to story reasons, girls like Rin, Molly, or Noriko)

But this kind of attention to details probably won't ever happen as it's hard to notice, it might contain spoilers, and it needs to be changed back and forth constantly.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Sure it would be much more stuff like this despite which route you would choose with Ami. Pain is inevitable.
We're on Suffer Puppet Level 2 right now.
As long as there's some levity and compassion sprinkled throughout. If it's just suffering for the next 3 chapters I don't think I can keep playing.
According to presumably Psycho Ami, Chapter 3 is the "Petty Drama" chapter:
I took that line to mean chapter 3 is when Ami and others find out about the other people Akira is boning. This has already happened in some cases. Ayane being the obvious example.
Would definitely fit since Momma Kaori is "the Queen of Spiders".
Agreed. i'm a little worried about this, although not for myself in particular. I hope Selebus don't lose too many supporters during the dark path phase. We all have been warned that is coming, and no one should act surprised or offended when it finally kicks in. Yet, humans are strange and contradictory creatures. I can see people (even some who says are looking forward to the dark path) going "you know, this is actually too much for me". Hopefully I'm wrong.
That could definitely be what's it's referring to. There's also been stuff like Ayane putting Kirin in her place, Rin and Otoha fighting then sexting, Nodoka bullying Yumi, Miku hiding things from Makoto, Io catching Sana, Ami "catching" Noriko in the closet, Ami seemingly lying about Maya and Ayane, etc. Petty Drama overall.
As long as things don't get as meaninglessly effed up as "Crossed", I think I should be good. Might need a few breaks to wrap my head around things, depending on what happens though.
If the pattern holds, the recent reset would be the midway point, and the end of the chapter would happen before the end of the year (again, if pattern holds, probably close to christmas)
Considering that Selly's writing sucked at the first chapter, this is a good change of pace at least.
