The art for the opponents is gorgeous! But what I'm noticing is that the relatively recent changes made to battling make it so much more fun for me! It's faster, more fluid, more of the fun of battle and less of the tedium. Still a bit jumpy for me when I hit the "Make your turn" button...but that is a small thing compared with the improvements :)
The Kiyo art is especially gorgeous ;^; But I feel like this is another one of those situations where fighting our world boss is a major fuck up because the first stage looks so sad (but very peaceful) and now at the second stage she looks less enraged like the news said, and more in pain, at least to me.

Look at what we did to Tempest (and I heard Pylot was basically the same deal back in the day) so like yeah, basically staff just wants us to be mean to sweet creatures in the name of prizes >:(
Friendly spirits you say?

Really think the artwork looks great, challenger artwork never disappoints, though I keep telling them stick figure challengers would make me happy too.
