Full Body Character Aura

Not a fan of this Idea as a default since we already have the rose-petal-particle-effects - however if it can be optional / equippable I'm all for it.

I believe this element was switched to other similar like her scarf and the petal particles effect, i do not see a need for anything else, it may look weird if we force these things, i vote for how is it right now.

I think partial is better but I think its possible for shards and possibly costumes to affect it, like others have said. An example would probably be Pure Miriam who likely doesn't have the rose on her back. This might remove the effect completely or change it into a different effect...or it might not do anything.

I've never been a fan of the blue outline aura ... looks tacky and defaces the appearance of the character. An full aura with around minimal opacity (up to about 5%) is fine with me but anything too bright and garish is, personally, a no-go zone.

I would like IGA to decide this for himself.

An effect like this is not as simple to do as in a 2d game.

In a 2d game you just draw the sprites multiple times at a delay and it will create the trail effect.

In a 3d game you cant just 'dump' a 3d model mid animation, this would mean each frame of an animation would need to be exported as a separate model(or sprite).
Even if it was possible you would need to render the same character x amount of times based on the duration of the after image. (If the trail was half a second long, you would need to render at least 30 additional models on screen per second at 60 fps)

Now yo could argue that allot of 3d games have sword with a trail in 3d space and what not. Yes, but than again a sword is generally a solid object, it doesn't change shape mid animation.
So if you'd use a single 3d trail renderer on Miriam it would look off if she just walked and it would be too short, on the opposite end it will look weird if she ducks or slides or whatever and the trail renderer is too high.

You could add a trail on each limb so it is correct always, but than you would have to deal with the trails overlapping. So if it is an additive effect (it makes stuff bright which it overlaps with) if parts of the trails of each limb would overlap, those areas would be brighter as well.

Anyway, these trails will never look like an after image (like Sotn or AOS/DOS). In fact I don't remember seeing any 3d game that had after images.
