so i was tomfoolering around and i just see THESE NEW NPCS IN SUN SERAI??? HELL YEAH???
the gal gives you salims quest if you havent done it yet
then theres the thorn mercs which are letting the iron melt off their bodies infront of the fire
im like so confused if this is on purpose or not, also some main story npcs are bugged around the castle
would actually go check if it’s real in the main game but the unoptimisation update gifted me with blackscreens, someone else providing a screenshot would be much appreciated
It is real
on god its real id send a recording too if i could
it’s probably due to the bug that renders story NPC’s even if you’re past that story part, they were already modelled and whatnot for full release teasers so their location and whatnot is all there, they just dont have a quest yet
this is a known bug these NPCs were removed from the Sun Serai in 2024 
The devs tried to stop their aura farming and that wasn’t gonna slide
even though its a bug they may aswell just keep them there, maybe give them a little bit of dialogue
tbf considering you can currently see every story NPC present at any point in the story at the same time, including a copy of Iris and morden in each place you visit along the story, this feels quite tame in comparison
Oh, that’s cool
they do actually have some dialogue
Kasumi’s interact visual seems to be invisible though, and the dialogue of all 3 is pretty much bare bones
why wouldnt they just be moved/deleted
i thought vetex was going to re add them in the next update
Okay hear me out with this theory, Shura headed to the nimbus sea after being beaten up by the player, and along the way Shura found a Prometheus’ acrimony and brewed an interchange potion and changed their gender and their name. (this is a joke theory)
prometheus acrimony more like estrogen acrimony (lame ass joke im sorry)
