the untraineds discourse is interesting to me bc it feels like the opposite of last year where they were trying to make untraineds look extremely extra for moments that could've been less extra (minori5, saki5, haruka5). idk if you get what i mean but lol
lol yeah it's a little bit true in a way. i know what you mean at any rate
though i actually think haruka5 (rise and strive) fits the moment very well because this event is easily the most uncomfortable we've ever seen haruka in any story at all. her voice delivery in that chapter is very awkward, outright shaky at points, and her expressions shift a lot more negative. the context too additionally is similar to haruka's main story struggles with "i can't move" but now "no words came out". it's probably one of the most uncomfortable scenes they've put into the game in recent memory IMO, and i think it's fair the untrained is a bit more intense to match that
i definitely agree that the other two untraineds are very dramatic. i think minori5 had a better moment more emblematic of the event (the conversation with arisawa right after was a lot stronger narratively imo) and i think saki5 just kindof needed a big rework overall lol
in turn i'd like to propose rui4 (backlight lens flare) where rui looks like he just heard gunshots or something really crazy or horrible but instead the dialogue in the scene is literally "you should try utilizing your star actor some more". the expression feels like it doesn't match the realization made for him
