Mostly curious because she's basically never seen elsewhere. I figured it was probably Lilac but it just felt weird to include her there and nowhere else.

They confirmed it was Lilac in the show. We see her outside of the game early on. The manga was only just starting her arc when it went on the possibly permanent hiatus.

Alder posted:Someone told me EQ was a game for broken ppl... That would be an accurate statement. I played it a lot.  As for the rest, sure people can idle around town or go hunting/dungeoning together but the former doesn't lend itself to stories like the one in this show since that's just standing around talking and the latter barely does since hunts/fates are focused on the fight or objective and over in a few minutes and dungeons don't have downtime to allow for much interaction. It's just pull-pull-pull-boss repeat. Old games had roaming mobs and lots of people moving around in un-instanced areas, plus clunky game mechanics like sitting for a few minutes between fights to regenerate MP and poo poo. Nothing that I would ever want back, but stuff that allowed people to sit around and BS -while- playing the game, rather than racing from objective to objective and only really interacting by choosing to stop progressing for a while. Again, I'm definitely not saying that old games were better or anything, I just think they allowed for more interaction and connections with other people. If Hayashi and Lily had been playing FFXIV, their meeting would've gone completely differently, or rather I don't think it would've happened at all. The giant rat monster Morimori died to repeatedly which allowed Sakurai to notice her struggling would've been an instanced Duty with tutorial characters to teach her how to play and gear herself properly and then she'd be off to the next story quest. Unless you go out of your way to meet people, there's no real reason to interact with anyone outside of dungeons until the endgame in FFXIV, so these kind of partnerships that they romanticize in MMO anime can't happen, or at least not nearly as easily and naturally as they did in older (worse) games.

Only the indie scene experiments and because the indie scene isn't going to make an MMO, most MMOs are basically going to be stuck in a rut of arrested development. They turn money because they are essentially giant gambling halls and kinda ought to be illegal in the same way people react to loot boxes these days. We need a big gaming crash, basically.

Only the indie scene experiments and because the indie scene isn't going to make an MMO, most MMOs are basically going to be stuck in a rut of arrested development. They weren't afraid of experimentation but they also often had no idea what they were doing and that often included balance. The social experience in a lot of older games basically existed to fill dead air a lot of the time because old MMOs didn't know how to make use of the player's time. That said, I've had plenty of chitchat in dungeons and whatnot. It does slow you down a little bit but I've never had a party that told me to shut up with my lame and stupid puns. Plus, making puns as BLM is pretty easy due to cast times. It's still a far cry away from the scenarios depicted in the anime though but I have no idea how Asian F2P cash shop MMOs tend to be these days.

Supposed to be based off of this: http://mabinogi.nexon.net I haven't played it in ages, but I did see an ad for it at some point during the show.

Oh man, I remember Mabinogi. It definitely felt similar to really old MMOs in some ways.

I'm just getting around to finishing this, and I assume there is or will be a douj where the path diverges and it is Koiwai waiting on the bench, not being a bystander and the world's best bro (who still crossed few too many boundaries). Edit: Can't rule out Moriko's stomach as MVP, though. chumbler fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Dec 21, 2017 |

It's not that amusing, but it's not really horrifying. It's just that kind of thing where you can't comprehend the atrocities committed. You can see it in how he wonders what kind of magical technological inventions the Germans must have employed to kill 6 million people, when the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan only killed so many people. He doesn't consider that it was a cruel gruesome process that took a long time and went through several stages of experimentation before arriving at the conclusion that execution by bullet was too expensive and time consuming and resorted to stuffing people into an air-tight space and pumping cheaply produced gas in to be far more effective. And as a Japanese person, I assume he struggles with the idea that they were allied to a nation that could commit such atrocities. It's hosed up, but happens all the time.

No, he apparently hates Jews as well.
