Oathbreaker is a visual novel by Rinmaru, and recently the first chapter of season 2 got released, and all the characters got an updated art style and new designs, and I Have Some Thoughts

major spoilers for season 1 of Oathbreaker ahead, also very picture heavy post ahead

1. The Main Character

(as with all of these it’s Season 1 design on the left, Season 2 on the right)

there are five different color schemes for the main character, with varying hair colors and skin tones, but i’m not gonna put all of them here, just the one that i personally prefer to play as.

i’m really fond of the MC’s new design! i think it really stays true to the original spirit of the character, while also reflecting that three years have passed and that she’s grown up a little bit. she’s a little older, a little more world-weary, a little more motherly. also her new outfit definitely gives me the vibe of someone who spends a lot of time traveling and hiding out in forests and i really like that. 10/10 astonished by the attention to detail on her tattoos

2. Argandea

Argandea hasn’t changed a whole lot, mostly just been updated to reflect the new artstyle, and also he’s no longer shirtless, which makes sense considering he’s in Snowy Ice Kingdom currently. i’m not sure he looks three years older, honestly he kinda looks a little younger? idk tho. 9/10 nice fur coat

3. Lea

like Argandea, Lea’s look hasn’t changed a whole lot, but... idk man there’s something very unsettling to me about her new design. she definitely looks younger, not older, and her face seems... almost childlike, which is extra unsettling considering i’m pretty sure Lea is the oldest of the romanceable characters. also her armor is a little less practical and a little more... well, boob armor. 5/10 why is she so shiny

4. Raelan

oh boy. Raelan looks... so very tired. he’s definitely older and his armor got a major upgrade. i definitely believe this man has spent the past three years grieving and stressing about leading a kingdom. 8/10 please get some sleep puppy

5. Virion

his skintone is so much lighter than in his original design, and that does not delight me. baby got a haircut, which is interesting since most elves we see have that long flowing hair - perhaps a cultural thing? also he’s no longer wearing a crop top, which is disappointing. like, i can definitely recognize them as being the same character, he just... looks so different. 4/10 virion should not be white
