>>56637559I think most of the decisions regarding family members would be context-sensitive to begin with. Most of the family members who were mentioned by the Likonime characters have sooner than later made their appearances so far in accordance to their character arc or the story if the raw duration is taken into account then Friede would've mentioned a point earlier, probably during the beginning of the Likonime as a olive branch to get Liko's trust after she was abruptly taken aboard. Friede's brother is definitely scrapped but the fact that he wouldn't be a part of the crew is a interesting notion that without the idea of betrayal or a brother was a discussion point by anons in the past that after some times passes that Friede might get taken out of the quest, due to getting injured or hung up elsewhere or by other reasons to create a contrast for the kids take up his place after some training.
Also props for being honest about the auto-translation.
