Yeah, despite the graphics not being anything spectacular, I think they really did a lot with what they had. The game has so much atmosphere and charm. It's a very... moody game. You feel things just from walking around. It's very artistic and I really appreciate that. There's a lot of moody music, too. There's some happy stuff but a lot of the time, you're seeing this beautiful island, but constantly reminded that it's going to be destroyed soon through the sad music that plays everywhere. But it's also a pretty kind of sad. It just fits so well.
Here's an example of the music that plays in Dr Hope's house and some of the other houses. Some places are just silent, too...: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlNh5KQm4PM ... It definitely has a very... somber feeling to it, right?
The characters change what they say based on the character and where you are in the game... like Masami said the same stupid thing for like the first five weeks no matter what/when. Jessica seems to have a new poem every time I visit her in poetry class. But Liberta says the same thing every time he's there. Overall, they don't change all that often, really. But you're really not intended to visit the town nearly as much as I do lol. Plus even when you do visit, you don't get a chance to talk to everyone because it takes forever trying to run around and find them. I think in general, people have certain times they'll always say the same thing (Liberta's "don't bug me when I'm drinking") and then times when they'll say their newest, most relevant thing, which may be related to the story or weather or whatever. It might change more, like a lot of new stuff for new seasons...? But I don't remember it changing much. This is kind of a problem all Harvey games have, though... Newer ones are getting more creative with it, though.
I LOVE WATCHING THE PEOPLE SLEEP LOL
re: subtle characterations -- SAME SAME. I absolutely love stuff like this, and games that do this well become instant favs.
AND YEAH I WAS SO MAD WHEN MARCIA MADE ME LEAVE UGGGHHH I WANTED TO DANCE WITH MAX D:
