@@AzureKaioshin i get where youre coming from but i dont really think being insightful really applies to jpegs. these design elements are chosen carefully, medium length black hair that is allowed to intrude on the face is typically used to show you that a character is quiet, or reserved, or is likely to hide their emotions, perhaps even an aloofness; glasses are often used to indicate intelligence and in many cases a sense of trustworthyness, which is why an evil character masquerading as a good guy will often take the glasses off; gloves or an eyepatch or a mask or something that covers something normally visible show that the character is hiding something, think about someone in a short sleeve shirt with their forearm wrapped up, youll likely ask what happened; a uniform worn properly shows you someone is really put together, while if its hanging off someone it shows a carelessness or maybe a recklessness, or some rebelliousness; people with light hair colors like blonde or red, when most of the characters have black or brown hair, often have something unusual about them, a talent or a unique background. these elements are reflections of what your first assumptions are likely to be, its why theyre effective.

Whenever your mother describes the characters, it sounds so interesting and creative. I want middle-age themed games with her descriptions, watch-maker and scientist with tired and realistic mindsets, something like that. Good job, mother☺❤
Hot dang so speaking of persona 5 I'm playing it for the first time, it's also my first Persona game (I'm playing Royal to be specific) and I just got through the huge amount of exposition after the 6th palace and dang I just need to say that was a mind fuck and a half
Every one of these types of videos you put out, I’m always amazed at how spot on your mom is with analyzing so many of the characters! Very observant woman!
She's super cute and has a great design, both normal and Phantom Thief, but her characterization is kinda bland. It's a waste. They should have just kept Hifumi as part of the main cast.
Ann being boring is part of her characterization, in a way. She looks different from everyone else and is treated different because of it, but she's a painfully normal teen girl.
That's crazy how she can guess their personalities and background stories 🤯 It's either atlus did a great job designing the characters or your mom is just pure awesome, or can be both actually

This is really great on a two way street, she's great for being so intuitive and insightful, but also the art is really good at conveying the characters and how they act and feel.

It says a lot about the character design too, being able to use body language and specific changes to give distinctive impressions while wearing a uniform.

He became sora
I think I read in my Official art book that it was Keys to his storages for his art or something, but I could be remembering it wrong
he's a janitor
it's especially weird considering he's essentially homeless
he keeps losing them whenever he sets them down anywhere so he just keeps all of them on his person at all times
