In Little God, as I said in my review, the image shown "just floated there obnoxiously." It would've been better to just not have included the image in there at all, or, better yet, he could've simply fixed the perspective by editing the picture a bit. Never said anything about having no pictures at all with the NVL style. You bring up Fate/Stay Night. In that visual novel, you see 3/4ths of a character's body behind all the NVLness, all within perspective. In Little God, however, you see this character picture overlayed over the background image and it's there, not at all like how FSN had done it. The awkwardness of the whole thing doesn't matter to everyone, but to those it does, then it breaks the experience a little. You mentioned it yourself that the art's important, too, and yeah, that counts as part of the whole visual art. When it works it works and when it doesn't, it's awkward. *shrug* I'm sticking to everything I've already said in my review. :) I think you misread what I meant with the whole picture thing, or perhaps, I didn’t make myself clear enough.

And yet, when it's all said and done, I feel like I was only given a teaser of what should be a fuller-bodied work. I felt like I only just began to know the characters just as it reached the end.
