In the beginning, your player character would be possessed by a beast spirit of your choice (wolf, otter, eagle). The spirit you chose would affect how your player character acts in the first half-ish of the game before these spirits decided to take over completely and talk as themselves. In the latter half starting from stage 5, both the player character and the spirit would communicate with each other, with the beast spirit being portrayed visually as “the player character, but with glowing red eyes and surrounded by red aura”. Before stage 5, the player would sometimes be shown acting a certain way and immediately thinking “wait, why did I say that?” (See: the conversation with Yachie if you chose the otter). To us, on stages 1 to 4, the spirits only influenced the players’ behavior without actually “fronting”, and they only fronted from stage 5 onwards. Possession by these spirits initially didn’t cause any noticeable changes personality-wise, at least to the players themselves, and these spirits kept quiet and didn’t communicate until stage 5. That’s probably why none of the players noticed anything’s off for the most part.

Do the other characters know that the players are possessed? Not everyone knows. Bosses 1 and 2 only thought that the player(s) are simply violent / timid / haughty, but every other boss you fight knows which spirit has possessed them. It’s understandable in Yachie and Saki’s case because they’re the leaders of the otter and wolf spirits respectively. We assume Kutaka noticed because she and the beast spirits are both from hell, so she’s familiar with them enough to know when someone’s possessed by them. Mayumi only noticed once the spirit completely took over. Keiki either only noticed after the two switched (eagle), noticed immediately by sensing the spirit’s presence (otter), or noticed because the spirit immediately admitted that they brought a human (wolf).

What do you mean people just write or draw scenarios happening to characters without taking their feelings into account? (/light-hearted)
