Today I went through the test folder for the game to see what older versions of things existed for filetypes that I'm familiar with to see how they look in the final game.
One of the testers had a folder with a bunch of test ENV files for Sunlumeo street. ENVs are basically what dictate the lighting, color, etc. of the environment, so I tried loading those in to get an idea of what Grand Trad might've looked like early in development. There's 7 of these in total and some of the results actually look pretty nice.

This one is "bgTitle" and the sky doesn't work properly, but maybe they were planning to use this lighting scenario for the title screen loop at one point.

Aside from this there are two nighttime ones. This one is "green". I'm loading this during the day so all the NPC models are shaded accordingly

and then finally "red". very creative names here

next I'm going to load up the Royal Palace because there's a bunch of ENV files for some maps there under the SatanPalace name

So all of these files are actually for the Tyrant Star portion rather than for the palace itself and most are for the final look of the area (which makes sense because Melancholia Depths looked pretty final lighting wise in the first trailer). However, the first map past the entrance has a file that turns it into this - they were at one point considering a very dark purple with red accents look for the Tyrant Star. I think the deep red suits it better but this is still pretty nice looking.

metaphor news: e33 sales beat us into oblivion
>>
>>537639496
Metaphor just made it as low as E33's price point from launch in a sale almost a year later and E33 hasn't had a sales update in that entire time despite the devs deliberately hypebeasting with them, I wouldn't call it anything like that
French slop probably didn't have to pay much for the marketing because of daddy's connections, but E33tards think the game eclipsed P5 because it got to 3 million sales much faster than vanilla P5 that was Sony and JP only for 6 months at over 2x the price so in the end none of this really matters or ever mattered. I would feel bad for the devs for inadvertently fostering a community they personally don't like but I also didn't like the game very much so I don't really care that much lol

I’m not sure, but I do hope we get something. If I had to guess, it’ll probably just be a rerelease with a bit of new content, a post-Louis mini villain of some sort. My bet is on some evil paramilitary Elda remnants trying to resurrect YHVH using magitech and you end up fighting the Law representative.

Not very, the same ENV from the unused Tyrant's Star works well enough on the rest of the Tyrant Star maps for example.

>Ah, the story of little Georgie and the cherry tree. "I cannot tell a lie." And for that noble admission, what does he receive? Praise. Admiration. The eternal label of moral exemplar. For confessing to an act of vandalism. There are no consequences, no making of amends. Just a pat on the head for having the good sense to perform remorse.
>Do you think he would’ve confessed if there’d been real consequences? Do you think this tale gets told if he was whipped or disinherited? No. Tell the truth when it’s safe to do so, and people will call you noble for it.
>It’s propaganda, Zorba. Nation-building through bedtime stories. Teaching children that virtue is inherent, that character is forged not through struggle but through innate moral superiority, apparently coded into the bones of Founding Fathers.
>It would be far more honest if the story ended with George hiding the axe, blaming a servant, and then spending the rest of his life trying to justify it with constitutional loopholes. That would be a far more American myth, wouldn’t it?

it's good for farming later in the game and the passive recovers MP on kills

the mage class has one of the best overworld attacks, easy AOE with no drawbacks and anything you kill in fast battle gives the entire party 1 MP back per individual enemy
