Song of the Firefly

[Hoeloe]

The style was intended to make the characters look cute and innocent. There's been a lot of thought into how their designs work, and not just in the faces. Every detail of their designs has been done for a reason. Their rounded faces are entirely intentional, as it conveys thematic concepts. As for age, they can be anywhere from around 14 to 18, it's not actually specified (and they themselves don't know exactly). I do kind of see what you're saying, but I'm not sure I agree. We're not particularly going for a pre-defined style, but rather building one up with the themes of the game in mind.

Thanks for the comments, though!
