Ideas for the plot that were scrapped!
And, uh... Lex was supposed to be the Prince??

(i know the photo sucks)
Hairdye being oddly common in fantasy settings nowadays, Lex was supposed to be the Prince, and would have used red hairdye to pretend to be a random and not, well, the prince.
He would have had a body double too? Wow, I wonder what this plot bunny would have gone lol
Gilbert being the "main character" but scrapped because he wasn't mature enough is hilarious, especially since he shows a lot of maturity in his Alain's supports (but I suppose his self-doubts weren't considered "mature" for the protag they had in mind?)... unless by "mature" they prefered a taller protag lol (or GT is messing with me).
I know the devs designed the "Unicorn Knight" as a concept (the sprite of a woman on a horse/unicorn that was later re-used to craft Virginia, while the Horse (but with an unicorn helm!) was given to promoted!Alain) and ultimately re-used it for the Cornian royals, just like the "Prince" concept art was ultimately re-used for Gilbert !

(Jerome and Magellan were borrowed from the "cavalry" sketches?)
As they say, it's fun to imagine what the game might have been like based on those sketches lol, I'm glad they shared them!
#unicorn overlord stuff#artbook stuff#scrapped ideas#I knew Lex had a protagonist haircut#and too much presence to just be a bro lol#granted I love how he pops up here and there on the world map just like Chloe#it makes the player really feel like those people who aren't princes or badass soldiers but just Alain's friends#are still here doing their part and participating in the Liberation Army#it's nice#I can't unsee not!virginia scolding not!gilbert on that sketch lol#but yeah they always settled on 5 countries the unicorn one the dragon one the elves angels and beastmen#final product dropped the ball a bit on the 'dragon' one even if I love drakengard to bits#but maybe that was from an earlier plot idea where the devs wanted to include monsters and all
