bitter quail
I'm really enjoying the game overall, but after seeing yet another cut-scene in which the player doesn't even appear (despite us having to enter a particular location), it's starting to feel kind of hollow in terms of how you build relationships. The one I just saw was at the inn in which Suki, Alice, Eva, and others are telling ghost stories and ... I appear to not be there. This happens a lot where either the player isn't in the scene or we're just eavesdropping or appear like an afterthought.
Are there any plans to rework these? It's disheartening to see your character build friendships or romantic relationships and yet rarely appear to do anything with these people. This could/should also extend to festivals. The Harvest Festival would be perfect for you having a moment with a character in which you get to build a lamp with them, as we see many NPCs doing together.
