>>7636160Not to mention the effort saved on art assessts - draw the guy once, throw some expressions in there, have him bounce and go 'mmm' whenever he speaks or changes emotion, done! You've just completed all the art needed for one character.
Compare this to a comic, where it's a new drawing every panel - you can see the difference, I'm sure.
Granted the only "VN" I've played that I enjoyed was Pheonix wright, and I think that's more of an adventure game than a VN; VN's just have a more niche audience.
