Event CG

Event CGs (often just referred to as CGs) are full-screen images that represent a particular moment in a scene that can’t generally be represented using the character sprites or even a special one-off sprite and are often used as rewards for the player. CGs may have multiple variations (ex: before kiss/during kiss, day/night, outfit A/outfit B; etc) or light animation (ex: blinking, hair moving, dust motes; etc) but are generally a single static image. Usually, CGs are reserved for special events that are intended to highlight the importance of a moment or for a special scene and almost always include a (frequently detailed) background.
