Ok but what if Chao were used instead of Wisps?
✅Actually cute design
✅Using them in real gameplay would be sick
✅The different stat types could each give a unique power similar to the wisps
✅Maybe they could evolve mid gameplay for stronger powers?
I'm not super into the comics or anything, but man, the comics back in the Dreamcast era had amazing art (at least for the covers). I'm just not a huge fan of the current streamlined art style they've been using.
