Artist's commentary
Lucilla Absolute Cinema
Having just played through her story quest today, I think this art really fits my personal thoughts on the whole story. An absolute cinema, there I said the thing!
Following are potential spoilers so please turn away if you are planning on playing through it yourself.
OMG I actually thought it was going to be a dry story after all that ending we've seen with the last main story events following the defeat of Aleph-1. Kurogames really know how to pull your heartstrings with how they weave the story. Everything started off as a bit of a light hearted comedy with meeting Aalto from the Black Shores being a special auditor to Startorch Academy, but as you learn more about the struggles this beautiful teacher had to go through all for the sake of her precious students, it really brings our the tear works.
Story itself wasn't as action packed as I thought it would be. After playing through Cyberpunk Collab and Denia's story before that, I guess I got used to the usual action packed scenes. But no, despite lacking action I think it was fine the way it was executed.
The final speech at the end of the board meeting as her students rose from their seats in solidarity to support Lucilla was a really moving moment. I'll just leave it at that. Kurogames has proven once again they're really really good at writing god tier stories and I love that they keep involving the older characters like Aalto.
