The fundamental problem of PLZA is that it was not a finished game, it was a massive draft/beta.
Even the character writing that
>>58937946 mentions isn't really an improvement, because there is no evolution, there is no story. The characters are even interesting, but nothing about them matters.
Dumb example, Naveen. "He is an aspiring fashion designer, slowly earning a reputation in Lumiose City as a designer shrouded in mystery." this setup would flow perfectly into us meeting Jacinthe, because he could design dresses for the meeting, where they would impress the SBC leading to him achieving his dream.
Instead nothing of this happens and we get the clothes from a random npc.
