    It is Tia, I won't post artwork of characters you haven't met yet.

    Now to kind of throw you off, Lufia 2 was remade a few years ago for the DS and um... "updated" for modern taste so let me either surprise you with the changes, this a picture of both the original Maxim artwork and his remake artwork:

    I actually like the remake artwork much better. Seems to fit his personality more. Got one for Tia too?

    Apparently they completely redid her character in the remake.

    I prefer the original but it's likely because I've been exposed to that version more. Something about redressing Maxim as a Shonen anime/rpg hero kind of rubs me the wrong way even if hindsight tells me he's not too far from it. Though that changes about half way through the game cause he does eventually mature. I'm probably more thrown off by my favorite character's redo in the remake cause his design is kind of a cheesy 80s look and his remake incarnation looks a bit like Snow Villers.

    Guess it must be some nostalgic thing then, because I really feel the new design suits him better, at least for now. The old one, in all its cheesiness, makes him seem really gallant.

    What they did to Tia is unforgivable, though.

    Maxim is only a spaz in the beginning, he grows into the gallantry as the story progresses. He's not so much of a clueless jerk as much as he just has a one track mind but there are reasons for this.

    Shush! For now Maxim is my pet selfish, insensitive dick and I love him just the way he is. I don't want to see him differently until I get there

    Wait, there's a DS version of this game? I have to hunt that down and acquire it.

    Also, I have to say that from what Fynn has shown, I have to agree with him. If you take Maxim as a selfish, insensitive jerk (which is how he's portrayed at this point), the remake artwork suits him a lot better.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Yeah, it's been remade into an Action-RPG though it still keeps puzzle elements in dungeons. I have not played it myself but apparently so much was changed it could be considered a different game inspired by the original. I know it now has a stat customization system and I think they changed around some things about your party set-up as well but as I said, I have not played it so I can't say much. I think NeoCracker played it so maybe he'll wander into here an enlighten us all.

    Fun fact, the series is now owned by Square-Enix who were in charge of the remake.

    Okay, so I have a question to you guys. Since this is my first ever LP, I have no idea what I'n doing. Do you like the pace of this? I mean, do you think I go into too much detail and should more generally cover larger parts of the game? Or is this fine? (I mean, as long as I update often enough, unlike what happened now )

    I don't really think it's possible to go into too much detail with an RPG, so you're doing fine. We can work on the update speed though.

    I think you just need to find a good pace for updating. You've only updated twice so it's hard to say one way or the other. I've been hoping you could finally move onto the meat of the game but as I said, you've only updated twice so it's understandable. I like your commentary so far, I would suggest to continue doing what you are doing and we'll see if any issues come up.
