Germinal leader had a full cover face mask that he never removed for any reason, so the fact that he removes it to smoke annoys me. His entire body was supposed to be entirely clothed in black to hide the scars that covered his skin
I have a few complaints about the look they chose for the germinal leader it's mainly about his age I can't remember but isn't he supposed to be a bit old, (in his 40s I think) MewlingDragon brings up some great points aswell
atmosphere I guess, ikemen treatment but if that is suppose to be the Germinal leader, (I can't recall from the beginning of the story, if he's suppose to be the one talking), then his age/appearance plays a large part of his background. not like it affects the protagonist though.
that side-quest is just a side-quest. when he discovers the truth of the Germinal leader's background I think he completed a hidden quest?
