>>Cuboon was drawing Summer Byleth for Heroes before her game even released, over 2 years before officially being added to Heroes
Bro, Alfred was drawn in 2018 too. Four years before Engage was even announced.
Do you think IS commissions the art like half a year before release? No, this shit is done YEARS in advance. There's been cases of voice actors being DEAD for units that get released at dates over a year past the actor's death.

>Engage was supposed to come out on the 30th anniversary
>the card game was still going during that
>cards are made in advance
Again, if Book 4 got a card set during Book 4, then why wouldn't you think that the game meant to release during Book 4 wouldn't also get a set?
And as that anon reminded us, Alfred was clearly drawn during or before Book 2.

Nope. Kaya8 legit improved in things like shading and texturing.
How much they improved and how fast helped us determine RAlfred's creation date.
