hii is there any up-to-date list of the current canon lgbt characters in rejuv? i've seen a couple floating around but i didnt know how old they were

This list was posted on Jan's tumblr way back and is still accurate so I'm including it before elaborating on new additions;

The previously unnamed trans character is Particia! To add to the list, Martin & Kreiss are also both gay (tho this should speak for itself considering they're married). V is also nonbinary. For the Xenogene characters, Lucile is a lesbian, as well as Wynn being pan and Saber being bi. There's also two new female Team Xen and Team Anti-Assist grunts that elope during the Rowlet sidequest at Tyluric Temple LOL but they're not exactly major characters

Also, all characters are intended to be considered pan by default unless specifically stated to be otherwise.... i.e. Texen being straight (which wasn't included in this screenshot but is one that Jan confirmed on his tumblr jehrjsdhgsjdg)

I don't know any other official confirmations from the top of my head, but if I had to give a couple of personal headcanons— I definitely think that Ren, Talon and Florin are all at the very least bi. I think Xara also might be lesbian, though she might lean more towards being demiromantic. In turn, I think Risa's either pan or bi as well. There's also whatever the fuck Geara & Zetta have going on, but I'm not really sure how to classify those two??????????????????

let's just call it "it's complicated"

hope that helped a bit tho anon!! again keep in mind the last bit is headcanon so idk what jan's thoughts on the matter are but yea

Is there a reason why Variya looks like mom Nancy? When I saw her sprite for the first time I imagined her as a blonde, longer haired version of Nancy. Is it a coincidence or is there some meaning to it?

nah. they honestly don't even look that much like each other if you compare their official art

‪I did wanna ask related to Kreiss, bc it’s been a topic of debate among me and some friends, was him not feeling cold while surrounded by ice just him being an ice type gym leader and resistant to the cold, or was that late stage hypothermia?‬

no hypothermia, he's just fucking weird and it's implied he experiences temperatures as if they're inverted to some degree. he'll walk around in just a shirt or blouse while it's freezing outside (and simultaneously wears a coat in hot weather) if it was up to him, he just knows martin will chew him out if he catches him doing as such so he tries not to LOL

Does the player character get a magical girl transformation when changing outfits in the puppet master fight?

only axel does because he thinks it's funny

[honnojis]

was there specific reasons that Maman's backstory was changed?

Worldbuilding + overall quality increase to match with the rest of the game!

Spoiler:

The interceptor from pokemon rejuvenation gets golden armour that makes them look like Madame X. I am obsessed with this. What is the narrative reason for this? Zumi I'm not asking for lore in just obsessed with the unexplained symbolism. The interceptor looks so sinister while they walk around like the grim reaper in the renegade route. Why do they look like that???

Thanks have a nice day.

So I started Rejuv with 0 context. "Oh Maria is cute, will I play as her? Time skip or something?"

Looked at the family portrait and went, "Oh, no, I am definitely not with a dad like that."

he's a completely normal family man, obviously :)

I remember v12 coming out only 3 months after v11. Since v14 is just some main story, I guess we could expect the same for it? so around early February or something?

lol no
