I'd have to say i'm the same way. I'm in it for the world-building. Character development is definitely key but overall I care more about the overarching narrative, my favorite character dying doesn't bother me as long as it served a purpose. I like the fact that Tatsumi isn't going to forget that Lubbock pretty much sacrificed himself to get him out, and there are realistic feelings of survivor's guilt. if Tatsumi was still a cheery guy after losing a friend and a lover then i'd definitely lose interest. Takahiro is good at keeping things somewhat grounded even in a story with heavy dark fantasy elements and I just really dig that.
