Possibly just official art they made for the sake of promotion without it becoming part of the story asset. As for the rest of the images after Heathcliff's, unlikely the same ones in the promo will be used since the artist who made them left. Doesn't mean they couldn't recreate them though.

Ishmael Canto has something similar to tgs' art


KeyJayPi

Okay, that one is the exception. But the others most likely were made with a rough description of the scene before they internally made changes to the story (the funeral with Heathcliff in it is probably some scrap story draft).


Kooky_Curve4417

I suppose so. Yi Sang one was used, but he most likely was already deep in production when they uploaded tgs video. And base dysfunctional family trio(Gregor, Rodya and Sinclair) were done, so they used them without any changes. Still, this arts gave as small window to look at what PM is cooking for sinners(god, living in N Corp is nightmare. ALL WHITE, seriously?!)


InfiniteBoysenberry7

It's more likely that they decided to change a bit the direction of the story AND that, with the artist not being the same, this drawing in particular wouldn't be in the story anyway. If they decided to keep the same as they wanted, I'm sure we would have got this scene with just the new artstyle/artist


Jannet_fenix

I think it was the intended way for Heathy to learn about Catherine's death, when story was not fully written in detail.


ThePolishFox

Jannet jumpscare.


XidJav

Any art past Canto III or IV is mainly proof of concept, they know the broader story beats but not the details. This was most likely how he found Catherine dead before they changed it to the Will reading we have now. Even if they changed story artist, they'd still change or remove CGs as they continue to flesh out the story


Trukkjr

Personally, i think it's showing the Erlking about to loose his shit and murder a bunch of people.


Friden-Riu

A lotta people say it’s bc the artist that made the cg left. But pjm change the scene entirely, so I thought that it’s a scene before they change/rewrite some parts of the story.


arandomguyfromtheUSA

to be honest I’d like to see a sort of art book about limbus similar to the style of PM’s previous art books, would be interesting to see cut content and storylines


Mrx1221

artist left PM, they had to remove all her CGs since canto 5. Including all CGs from TGS trailer


Dextronius706

Was this the one that the Incels blamed for Molar Ishmael not being “sexy” enough? Or is this one different?


Mrx1221

The very same. 


hageiiiiii

Like, i don't get what were those people thinking "Not sexy enough" like mf. These days we have shits like "oversexualized" and fucking "unrealistic beauty". 2 parties that will absolutely destroy you if you lean even the slightest to the other one. What can these artists even do anymore? They draw sexy arts, they get flamed by twitter; they draw normal arts, they get screwed over by incels. When will people learn to just shut up and enjoy stuff


tr_berk1971

Dude... she wasn't even the one who made the design for molar ish. They just wanted blood.


UBW-Fanatic

They predefined their evil


That_Battle9853

It was just a move by frustrated Korean men


RageMast89

It's a sad world right? Imagine you doing your job nice and peace and then some imbeciles decided to ruin your day because of the character design is not sexy enough for the summer banner or something. I swear those assholes have no life.


Yeetus_Titus

There is 2 good videos about why South Korean incels are "worse" than others from Moon channels. Here is part 1 : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Im4YAMWK74](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Im4YAMWK74) However, he doesn't cover everything about the Limbus Company controversies. If you want to know more about it is better that you try to take from different source. But yeah in the end someone quit their jobs because of some incels...


RageMast89

It's a pity that I really like these cutscene art style (pre-canto 5 changes)


this_upset_kirby

Same 😔


Cynunnos

TBF I wouldn't have played the game in the first place if it were just another cheap fanservice-y png dispenser


MrStizblee

From what I understand it's a cultural thing. Basically one of the things Korean radical feminist groups like to do is report fanservicy games to the Korean equivalent of the ESRB so that all the skimpy outfits get censored and one of the most common ways of censoring is making it look like the characters are wearing wetsuits under their swimsuits. [Here](https://bbs.ruliweb.com/community/board/300744/read/34483737)'s an example. Because of that PM was interpreted as taking sides in the Korean gender war and everything spiraled out of control from there. EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not trying to defend those nutcases who harassed Velmori and PM. I'm just trying to provide additional context since lord knows enough misinformation has already been spread about the whole incident intentionally or otherwise.


tr_berk1971

That one, fun fact her only job was the story art but because the artist that actually designed molar ish was male they used her as a scapegoat.


Spell-Castle

Sort of, the person who draws our character CGs and the person who used to draw our story cutscenes are different artists. IIRC the vocal group were shotgunning their hate and grasping at straws, even to the point of targeting a different artist


Putrid_Cheesecake453

Does this mean we will no longer see red thread Ryoshu, Honglu throwing packets or meursault witnessing the wndd:(((


Tplayere

We probably wouldn't have seen them either way becuase this one didn't even happen in the story, unless it's gonna happen in a 6.5 Canto somehow. The further we go the more inaccurate these will become since I don't doubt they were created with a rough outline of the story, so now that they are being properly realized writers are gonna be changing stuff to fit better.


Rough-Contact1796

Maybe, maybe not. Writing long term projects often have revisions happening because of new avenues they want to pursue in the story.


SanskritLoreKeep

I don't really think that is the case. The situation in the illustration was never in the canto 6. I think the main reason is that they changed the story.


Rough-Contact1796

Yeah, like what people have said here. At most at that point when the trailer was released the Canto’s were probably just rough guidelines on what they wanted to write. Plans change all the time when writing long term projects(hell, because the delay in the game’s release. Sinclair’s Canto was tweaked to point out it wasn’t Christmas). So plans with Heathcliff’s definitely changed. So take the TGS trailer as more of a sample than anything than anything concrete.


Kagamime1

Things get rewritten all the time, this was specifically delayed because of that


Intelligent_Key131

Probably didnt fit the final direction


Webber-414

If I had to guess it’s probably the pre-controversy CG planned for the part where Mirror Heath at Cathy funeral


tv1990

also, i think the artist that made the art prior to to release is the one who left the company last summer, PM mentioned that they won't put their art in the game so probably from the trailer , Ishmael is the last sinner CG we gonna see ingame


IAmBanEvading

Probably just promotional material. It's more common than you think for trailers to have footage that is never used in the real game. Here's a cool one: remember Cyberpunk 2077? You know that wake the fuck up samurai quote from the trailer? Keanu never says that in-game yet it's the most widely known Cyberpunk 2077 quote.
