I swear by the Puppets cards.

Also, I was worried that Tenebrais having beat Gebura in a 1v1 would have taken away Gebura's special shine, so I'm glad to see that isn't happening.

If the rabbits are sent in during the Gebura suppression Myo notes that while Gebura is stronger in her box combat form, she is not nearly as skilled when she was a human.

Also creak is notorious for being a nasty page and rolling high in this fight, to the point of there being a battle symbol for losing enough clashes to it in this fight.

What? How could you not remember Sweet Pea, the "volunteer" sent to work with Nothing There and had to work with it multiple time because she was to badass ro die back on Better Call Paul episode 11!?

(And no, I certainly didn't spend the last 15 minutes rummaging through every part of the old LP trying to find her)

Just frightful amounts of Unga Bunga to be found in this reception. I'd use a train metaphor here, but for some reason it does not feel appropriate.

Also, I love how Chesed immediately identifies Roland as a Poor by his taste in coffee. Those are some terrifyingly well developed bougie senses on our boy :v:

So in a Q&A session, the Project Moon people said that they don't really have any plans for English dubs, or really any other voice acting besides Korean.

That being said, who would you cast for... let's keep things simple, Roland, Angela, and the 9 Sephirot?

I feel like Matt Mercer would work well as Chesed. Lackadaisical yet noble is in his wheelhouse.

I can see a Mitsuru Kirijo-type direction working for Angela but Ellen McLain was GLaDOS, you can’t get more on point.

Either of them would work but I think my dark horse pie-in-the-sky candidate for Angela is Susan Bennett.

I'm not knowledgeable about celebrities and VAs and such, but I have to admit that GLaDOS sans the mechanical inflections would be perfect for Angela.

Anyway, man is it weird to see an Abno fight that isn't -level or higher; it ramped up at Queen of Hatred and didn't let up until now. It's especially surreal to me since this is a late-floor Abno that is also Something Entirely New. Are all the Keter-floor Abnos this simple, or are the Puppet pages just that cracked that they dropped the warning level just before we reached it?

I feel like Yujin does just as much to reduce the threat level as the puppet pages. Still, very curious to see how TQ is going to handle the upcoming battle, since I remember its gimmick from my own playthrough.

Appendix 23: Puppets


A Puppet, Page 1 posted:

Life in the Nest isn’t anything special, honestly. It’s the same the whole world over. You get pecked by your boss and go through mountains of workload, you find yourself working overtime pretty much everyday… Payday isn’t all that exciting either, when you realize that you barely get any money for yourself after paying for maintenance, credit cards, insurance, living expenses and all that. Most of your income’s gone in a flash. And then, back to work… I have my ways of enjoying the little things in life, though. When I come back home from work, I crack open a cold one and watch the Backstreets through the window as night falls. When I’m lucky, I can see people chasing each other or getting into a tussle. And I think, ‘Oh, I sure hope that person manages to get away…’ I’m just being a hypocrite, of course. We’re all simply watching it for fun, don’t you agree? It’s like a TV show. Viewers aren’t genuinely concerned for the people on the rectangular screen. All they care about is guessing who will win. So many unrealistic and varied situations take place in the streets, it actually feels as if I’m watching television. Don’t call me out for being inhumane. Who knows, maybe someone is watching me work myself to the bones from a high rise, holding a glass of wine in their hand?

A Puppet, Page 2 posted:

Money rules this City. Every denizen of the City is obsessed with money to the point of popularizing the belief that money can be thrown almost any problem. While the earnings of an average Nest resident are significantly higher than those of a person inhabiting the Backstreets, there’s also a notable wage gap among the Nest habitants. One thing to keep in mind is that your position in your job doesn’t always guarantee a high income. No matter how high your rank is in a small enterprise, you might not earn much more than a Fixer in the Section 6 of an Association.

Even if your financial gain is on the higher side, you likely won’t earn enough to waste extravagantly. Meaning, you won’t get to take first class seats on WARP trains all the time or load the table with a sumptuous feast. However, it will be enough money to secure a stable life in the Nest. People who earn 4 million Ahn or more per month can be considered the upper middle class. That’s where the quality of life sees a visible increase. You no longer have to worry about being evicted from the Nest for being unable to pay taxes, and you can even hire Fixers to keep you safe. You can save up in case of emergencies, or send your children to better schools. A life lived in safe haven, free of illness and starvation. Well, that’s the life of an upper middle class they all talk about. What is there to be considered special? We just earn a bit more than others, and live in a bit more comfort than others.

Korean currency is spelled Won and I'm pretty sure in the actual Korean they don't use Won either. Might be a derivative though!

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD OBOE :black101:

Ahn is the fake currency that's based basically 1:1 with Korean Won that PM made up for their games. The rule of thumb I remember is that 1000 won = 1 USD but the exchange rate's collapsed so it's more like 1300 won per 1 USD now...

Nah, Yesod seems like the kind of guy to learn and use the appropriate term for stuff. The Anime Squad would have called it their "Ultimate/Secret/Special/whatever Technique!". Or would've yelled "Iaijutsu!" while doing it. gotta call your attacks, after all
