I'm at the point of no return in Arc Twilight of the Spirits (not actually in the dungeon yet, grinding for money for better equipment first) and so far the biggest cliche that I was expecting to happen hasn't happened, because neither Kharg not Darc or anyone in their respective parties has learned a drat thing which is very interesting. They have both been told that their mutual hatred for one another's people is going to wake up a bigger baddie that will kill everything, and yet the only reason the game doesn't end with a genocide, or hasn't yet, is that that bigger baddie took away the weapon they were planning on doing it with and is about to turn it on both sets of people. Every time they learn something new that should recontextualise their existence and give them something to think about, they just turn it on each other as reasons it's "Their fault!" so the whole story is just this scene from Into the Woods for 30 hours (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUb64O-BIsE), and everyone's now about to get eaten by the metaphorical giants. I will be fair in that some characters have very genuine hang ups about one another that they shouldn't have to be expected to forgive because actual crimes were committed, but the overall picture still completely eludes them.

That sounds like the most realistic reaction to being told things I've ever heard.

I'm just happy Bio is playing a game I own. He didn't wish a game into being this time around.

I'm at the point where they finally learned the lesson, because the final dungeon shuffled the parties so they were forced to fight together. They still have bad blood individually, but they've gotten over themselves enough to ignore it for the sake of their common goal. Very satisfying to have the full list of characters in one menu now.

...in that case, any chance you could start playing Dark Cloud 3, Bio?
