After reading the governor's letter, Lutz has decided to join with Alis, Myau, and Odin in their struggle to overthrow Lashiec. In this scene, which is an overlaid on one of the trio's arrival in Lutz's study, he tightly grasps his white mantle. Many scenes in
Phantasy Star generation:1 use this overlay affect to mimic some of the dynamics of the cutscene displays pioneered in
Phantasy Star IV. In most cases, it works very well. There are a few like this where it does not have quite the same impact, however. We should be focused on the Lutz's hand, but it is very easy to get distracted by the larger background scene.
