>>34050266This isn't edgy lillie, this is "STRONG INDEPENDENT WHOAMAN" Lillie. Instead of having her be the damsel in one half of the game and becoming the above later with cutscenes that waste the player's time, they're having her issues already be resolved by the start.
Everyone complained about cutscenes and lack of player-focus in SM, so now they're trying to backpedal on the cutscene approach. The cutcenes that will appear will only be there to progress the plot, and will (((hopefully))) not be too onoxious this time around. USUM Lillie is evidence of this. Pic unrelated
