the discourse about untraineds is especially interesting knowing that their purpose and production process is slightly different than a trained card. (They're developed immediately after the scenario is completed in writing with the primary goal of aiding said story versus trained cards being one of the last, developed after all other essential assets (costumes, song, unique event bgm, etc) are created, influencing the work). I think with only the raw script as the guide for untraineds to me, makes it clear what the intent was in regarding a lot of them if i put myself in said position. I get the urge to zero-in on a particular character's emotions as they do something really funny, emotional or heartrending, leading to that particularly dreaded card comp. But obviously, execution is everything, and I think some artists on the team are simply Better at composition and execution of tone and mood better than others. In fact, I feel like we could wrap up 70% of card discourse with that one statement. Do I think these weaker artists should be burned at the stake? No. But I do hope clpl have systems in place to support them to grow into better artists.
