Romancing SaGa 2 - Noel

I cosplayed the pixel art version of Noel. When I made the outfit, I was struggling with some things here and there, I was trying to make out if this part was shadow or 3D or a pattern, what was its shape while looking at the pixel art on the game screen. I was moved by Noel, who has his first-form sword until the end yet never uses it. I thought it might be because I remembered his dialogue with the emperor after I played Emperor’s SaGa.
