Let's look at Yoshiro!
Pierced ears!
Why were they removed? Because she's a shrine maiden and they can't have piercings?
 |
| Intense gaze... |
If you told me this was Cursed Soh's face, I'd believe you.
Interesting how her in-game model has a completely different vibe to her artwork.
 |
| This is a cutie. |
 |
| Very different feeling from the art... |
The red markings on her body are different.
In the art, her markings are symmetrical. In-game, they aren't save for her face.
 |
| What a haunting stare... |
Her facial markings are quite scary in the art. This absolutely looks like a cursed Maiden.
The way the red appears to spread down her cheek like tendrils.
These markings resembles Amaterasu markings more.
I wonder why it was changed? To make her cuter? It worked yet the Yoshiro of the art is another creature entirely...beautiful and a little frightening.
When I played this game originally, I thought Cursed Soh was our original Yoshiro. But I hadn't factored in that means we are playing as the spirit of Yoshiro from NG.
I considered our Soh might be the 7th generation and the next generation ascends, meaning our Yoshiro is the Soh in NG+. But it can't be because the bodies are different.
Back to her design...
