Speaking of sprites, some people might be interested to see this earlier version of Satoko's sprite:
(Left: Original version; Right: Revised version.)
In the original, you can see that Satoko's legs are in a VERY awkward position. How is she even standing up?! It probably looked awkward enough for the sprite to be moved down slightly, cropping the legs.
Also, the grey tie probably looked too dull. I think the yellow tie looks better.
