From time to time I like to ask fans of the game what they think about the story presentation and if they have suggestions for making it improved. Though--- I have found that most of them seem afraid that their suggestion might change the story itself via infection. First of all, you don't have to worry about that. I already have the important parts of the story figured out. It's just that I sometimes get a bit disappointed when watching youtube videos when players seem to be unaware of things that are not intended to be secrets that require critical thinking to understand. For example. Sometimes players seem mix up the identities of the workers of the Factory. But the one that really bugs me is that I have only ever seen Japaneses players make the figure out that the First monster that you find after loosing your wings used to be Salty. See- that's not supposed to be a mystery, and I don't feel like saying that much should be considered a spoiler.

Recently, a thought crossed my mind. I think that this could be fun, and a way to maybe expand the culture and lore of the fantasy.
I had this idea where, for example, all of the letters and diary entrees would come with a stamp. The idea is that every person in this fantasy has their own unique set of at least 6 stamps. And whenever they write a letter or diary entree, they will stamp the letter with one of these. In-universe, the stamp is meant to help orient the reader into understanding the tone which the letter is meant to be read.
From the players pov though. These stamps would appear next to the text, and function somewhat similar to an 'avatar icon' for whoever is writing. This should make it easier to keep track of what character is talking and give the player a better idea of what is going on in their heads.
It can add a level of art, culture, and world building as well as personalization for style of the designs of the stamps for each character to help distinguish them.
Any objections to this idea?
