IMO the original Umineko portraits are actually better at communicating subtleties in the characters' expressions (I especially like the Beato faces). I also think the original sprites make it a little easier to grasp one of the story's "reveals" (the voice acting, while great, also makes it a little tougher to figure out - if you just look at the original sprites with no audible voices, it's a lot easier to understand IMO). That being said, I'd still recommend the PS3 sprites to most people, just because the original ones are admittedly a bit of an "acquired taste." The Steam sprites from the pachinko game, however, are fucking terrible and it genuinely pains my soul that people are playing the game with them.
all of the character art was done by the writer of the story. despite the amateur art quality the games have some incredible writing and soundtrack (especially Umineko). They're as popular as they are for a reason, highly recommend at least playing Umineko if you have a PC.
While the art itself is eh, stuff like the character designs and expressions are absolutely top notch stuff. And even then he has certainly gotten better with time, as he did the linework for Ciconia's sprites and those actually look pretty good
0:35 LMFAO A CLASSIC
Battler everytime he said he won't give up against Beatrice, giving up a few seconds later due to a minor inconvenience in his arguments.

How did they publish this game with those crappy MS Paint sprites?
