Those cards were always there, complaining got us the Kether realization. Getting all of the cards at the end of this freaking marathon makes sense plot-wise but for gameplay it's doo doo

Neither the cards nor the key pages were implemented when the update first came out and then a whole bunch of people complained that we didn't get any new toys. It also shown by how the mechanics of a couple of the new key pages were half baked and didn't really work when they were first released.

When the unwanted guests was first released they said in the update including it that the prizes would be coming later and hadn’t been implemented. The complaining changed a lot, but those were always going to happen.

I just checked the update log and saw that PM only mentioned adding rewards on the 12 of march (when the update was at 26 of February) and on the 26 note there was no mention of any rewards. I remember that there were a bunch of people complaining on how Roland mentioned that 'their books are on a whole new level' and we didn't get any rewards before PM released a notice that they will add rewards a couple of days later. But I don't know how to access the archived announcements in order to check it.

It’s from the day after. Given the text was already there, they were about to miss the update entirely (the previous tweet was about how they were trying to get it out the door that day), and they said they were taking the first week of March off, there’s no way they didn’t always plan for the rewards. They very likely just ran out of time to finish bug testing and implementing them in the initial update and opted to get the core gameplay part out the door.

I wish that the invitation maker was better. There's some obvious choices made for balance reasons (you can only have 9 points of keypage attributes, you can't have effects that aren't from the game), but some of their other choices are... not great (You can only determine the number of types of books for reception, not specific books, the effects for a card are just listed, so there's 'Inflict 1 burn', 'inflict 2 burn' etc instead of 'Inflict burn' and a place to add a number). Also some translation issues, but that's completely understandable and fine. I mean there's still BaseMod stuff, so there's a different avenue for more advanced things, but I do kind of which it was easier to put stuff on the workshop.

Admittedly crunch hosed up PM either way  .

ZeroCount posted:True but if they gave you the Unite cards after the relevant fight you still wouldn't have any battles to use them on imo they could've given them out after Puppet Angelica. The fact that she just unceremoniously vanishes without a book or anything was kinda weird(though it might indicate she was just a collection of random parts and wasn't actually Angelica, because Argalia was literally insane and Jae-heon has a track record of being completely delusional) [ending spoilers] Also on that note i'm kinda curious as to how returning the booked people works in regards to the "monster" books. Are the puppets still puppets? How does Tomerry work since Tommy actually died super fuckin hard mid-fight? Is Yan still a giant typewriter elemental?

But there's probably no way for them to return to normal. Same for the circus lads and the puppets and the gears. Yan as a pure distortion would probably exit the library still a monster, but could possibly be talked down and return to human if he doesn't get killed first (a case for the Distortion Detective). Maybe Philip too, since the one that died for reals in the final reception was only like 1/10th of him, the rest was booked. e: actually, everyone from the train could have a chance if they return straight to the train to be reconstituted there, but Roland yanking Angela out of the light early might have screwed that up and sent them god knows where. but hey, that's that and this is this. lets hang out fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Sep 7, 2021 |

From the art book, Roland's looks were apparently inspired by Joseph Gordon Levitt and James McCoy. I can see the former in Roland, but not really the latter.

Given the epilogue fight it seems like the books are straight-up gone after the light finishes dispersing(since the only active combatants were those who could fight without a keypage) which implies the latter, thus all the weird edge cases I'm bringing up. It's a huge clusterfuck either way since as you said they just got scattered to the wind with Roland's final "gently caress you" to the cycle of misery. Can't wait to turn a corner in the dungeon crawler and just get obliterated by an angry typewriter Acerbatus posted:I will be deeply disappointed if they don't have a gag about two Myos running around and forget about it or say something boring. The whole Complete Book thing implies that the library considered both Myos to be the same person and kinda just bolted them together, so I guess she's Double Myo now???

definitely the weirdest postgame case is Philip. you book most of him as the crying children, but a piece escaped and turned into reverberation ensemble philip, who is now permadead. so if Philip was resurrected, he's now missing a portion of his self, which seems like a rough deal. poor guy can't catch a break

As an aside Reverbation Phillip's book is interesting because he's the only one who fully admits that Argalia's "freedom" of empty catharsis didn't actually make him feel any better, while the others are largely just shallow justifications for indulging their every hosed-up delusion(e: either talking like their delusions are objective reality, or scolding you for judging them while conveniently leaving out the suffering and mountains of bodies that they leave in their wake) Maybe it's because he almost became a decent human being at one point before getting brainblasted by a clown Yinlock fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Sep 9, 2021 |

Picked up this game a few days ago. Pretty fun, although I've got past Walter through what feels like brute force and blind luck of putting in cards with high numbers into the deck. Only farming I did was the aforementioned guy to kit out my Keter floor with 2 of him and one Mars, no idea when I'll have to actually start building decks with some sort of plan. I also only found out just now you only lose books used in invitations when losing a fight, so I feel pretty dumb now.

At least some part of her was alive and aware in that thing

Urban Plague boss spoilers: I had some inkling Philip was going to do something special as I saw the term EGO Philip somewhere. Wasn't quite expecting something that intense, as that's the first time a normal fight has suddenly gotten it's own special stage, theme music and complicated mechanics. Still beat the guy down through raw Number Big staggering him once he got to his 5 dice stage and finishing him the next turn. Dawn Office stuff with slash/burn feels pretty good.

Goddamn I nearly rage quit the game after the last second fake out in the final realization. That is a total dick move to spend an hour just to see unavoidable death coming your way. The final card could've unlocked one scene earlier with absolutely no difference in gameplay.

Personally I like to think at the end Angela doing her thing with the Light meant even the people who came to the Library as monsters like Tommerry or the Puppets got 'fixed' to being human again since even with all the 'they were booked as monsters' stuff I just want that the ending of Ruina to be a happy ending even if it would be pretty deus ex machina to have all the problems the Library caused fixed.
