The more I stare at realistic Ciro, the less jarring and more cooler she looks.

Yeah, she grows on you. Like a tumor. Realistic Betweenford still isn't doing anything for me, but the art style could be interesting in another game.

Yeah, back when FFS first posted that I didn't dislike the style. It is good. I just prefer the more stylistic art for the Warrens. Kind of for the same reason I prefer Earthbound's cartoony look. It makes this interesting contrast that makes the art help tell the story and convey emotion.

Like when Riltia and Yaos transformed, their changes were legitimately disturbing due to the drastic contrast.

It would put us on equal footing with or at an advantage against overleveled but normally weak foes. Such as human-likes or Hellyfish. However, against stuff like that robot thing on DL4, it would put us at a sever disadvantage, I think.
We will need to try the CHUNKY REALISM mode at least once.

EDIT: Ooh! We could ask AH about it!
I'm sure there would be some attempted balancing involved.
And who's AH, again?

AG is supposed to parody AH, by breaking the fourth wall, and talking to the readers.

In the context of THIS game, of TWoOtA? Not much at all. He did kidnap a teammate of ours and then give sage advise, and he could teach us to engage the Chunky Realism battle mode, but other than that, he doesn't play much of a role here.

In the context of Homestuck, he plays much the same role FFS does here, but even more involved. He's the Self-Inserting Creator where FFS is the Lying Creator.

Edit: Oh, yeah. We have "AG". Who wears a red shirt instead of green. Eh. Same person.

Do we know he could teach us that? Or that he would want to?

And is he an author avatar, or as an avatar for AH!?

He is a parody of another author's author's avatar.

EDIT: Also above alliterations are accidental and aren't actually acknowledged at actualization.

When have we been told we can't sit down with goombess or something and research?

It's worth a try.
How?

Presumably the same way Goombess was able to "research" the location of a River Dollar on a floor that seems to have been recently randomized, or the way she was able to figure out the mechanics of Proxxy's abilities just by observing her while we Tactical Diplomacied. She could well deduce the mechanics of our own skills by studying us.

+1 to letting Goombess study us for the purposes of Bloodshaping Exposition
I'm gonna +1 this.
+1. Goombess can do research, though I don't think we can. Maybe she's not affected by the Insanity Penalty?
+1
