Mina's an American special, I think; definitely some Latina roots, but other inspirations as well.Damn, Mina is making me wish I played FF14 more socially lol. I hear people have even met their partners there once in a while. What's Mina's ethnic background btw? She seems a little ambiguous.
Also how come the chat feature isn't an option for the new girls? It was fun in the first game to talk with everyone, get to know little things about them and deepen the relationships that way, but that mechanic is missing here. So I have no reason to go talk to Ryoko or Mina regularly, even though I'd like to.
Same with drawing their portraits. I liked doing that in PL1 but there have barely been any so far iirc.
We haven't gotten around to doing the chat functionality yet; we're pretty writing bound atm, so it'll wait until we have spare cycles there.
More paintings are coming; we've got another year of monthly updates to go
