They said they are working on getting the characters in the world later but not in 1.1 (I think there was a post outlining that in version 1.2 you will be able to do so)
I also don't think it's a coincidence that there isn't an EN program, the launch livestream was poorly received. I think most people prefer just a short subbed version of the CN program (+ they save $$$).
I remember chat correcting and begging Box to read as he noted down the Jane Doe in overworld feature the second he saw it. Felt like Interstellar where all you can do is helplessly scream Murph.
"You can now change to your own character in the overworld" My man box2 spreading misinformation on the internet again ! You can only play as Jane Doe in the overworld in her character mission, but they are planning to add more in the future
How can someone watch a 15 minute livestream and still get the details wrong? You can't use your agents to walk around the hub world, that footage of Jane walking is exclusive for her story. They said they're working on implementing the feature to walk around using your agents but it still won't be implemented in the next update.
Nope, in 1.1 it's just during the related story quests They mentioned that in a later version there will either be more situations where you move around as other characters or you'll be able to select a character other than belle/wise
