The cyborg thing is more of a byproduct of the story than a main plot point. (I hope that makes sense)
I'll admit, the story makes little sense in the context of just the first two chapters but trust me when I say that everything will come together in the second half of the story. (Chapter 5+)
Imagine if you played something like
Chrono Cross or
The World Ends w/ You only a quarter of the way through. The story wouldn't make a whole lot of sense that way.
Not that Chrono Cross makes much sense after playing through the whole game either.
Now for the small preview since I FINALLY got done with all the character OW sprites.
You will be the ones to choose what you want to see.
You may vote between Aster, Kaius, Lilah, Sadie, the mysterious woman, or the Chapter 3 character Vivi.
Here are the front, back, and side silhouettes for each of those characters:
I'll reveal the sprite for the one that gets the most votes in two weeks.
