Looking At Viewer
The Esper’s stare at the camera brings the supernatural world of Neverness to Everness to a deeply personal perspective. Often the direct gaze is framed from the driver’s seat of a tuned vehicle cruising through neon-lit streets, or just before a high-stakes encounter with an urban anomaly. The player is no longer a passive observer, but a participant in the scene. Eye contact highlights the intricate tech-wear and casual chic expressions of the gacha cast, lending a sense of intimate reality to the modern cityscapes of Hethereau.
The NTE community has a strong preference for direct eye contact in mobile phone wallpapers. Having your favorite character looking right back at you makes for an incredibly immersive lock screen aesthetic. This tag will also be used by digital artists wanting to know about facial proportions and how the eyes are drawn, all within the game's own urban-pop art style. It is important to get that intense stare or relaxed glance for high quality fanart, giving a very clear reference of how the roster is projecting personality and attitude directly to the audience.
