How Does this Affect the Game?

Because the smaller enemies are cuter and more likable with a lower competence level, the player may sympathize with them and underestimate their abilities. However they are very committed and can possibly band together which will make them more powerful. The boss enemies are very powerful but don’t seem to care very much about the cause, so they could be easily distracted or avoided instead of facing such a challenge. The player is being thrown into an unknown environment for unknown reasons, so it will be hard for them to figure things out at first, but their commitment will help them to persevere.
