Our heroes get a face and a voice

Three days ago, our heroes moved to 3D. In battle, the chibi models do their job. In the menus, their portraits looked like screenshots, not like the heroes we had in mind.

So every hero now has two illustrations in a painted style: a wide banner and a close bust portrait. They replace the 3D renders in battle, in the Characters screen, in the Starcall and in the codex of this site. Every Echo got a new icon along the way.

The heroes speak, too. In the Characters screen, each one can say their first line out loud, in English or in Japanese. You choose the language in the settings.

Behind the scenes, every new hero now goes through the same checklist, from the story note to the voice, so the next ones arrive complete.
