Danc/Karn Portraits


Danc/Karn. Character portraits from Japanese release (left), My own Edit (middle), and Western release (right).  Karn's in game portrait was changed for the international release of Breath of Fire likely to preempt possible concerns with Blackface portrayal of dark skinned characters. It seems likely that whoever called for the change asked the art team to change the portrait but did not specify how, thus we see such a drastic official change rather than the more subtle change I've provided here.
