Now that I think of it, the party must have the most intriguing terrible combination of accents in Chinese. It's a miracle anyone can understand them at all.

Worldwalker_Pure posted:Heaven's Fiend is based on a clione, a kind of sea slug also known as a 'sea angel'. Japan loves them some cliones. That is frickin' adorable. I mean, considering it's a sea-slug that eats nothing but sea-snails in the wine-dark depths of the sea.

Brainamp posted:Bayonetta sort of has the right idea going with a lot its angelic enemies. Just monstrous things that wear lots of marble-esque stuff to cover up their even worse features. The weird part is, Bayonetta's cast of angels (Minus the Joys and stuff like the cars and gunships and whatnot) are largely taken from traditional angelology. The language of angels that shows up is an actual conlang made by the sorcerer John Dee. That's a really deep pull for a game all about a big tiddy witch shooting angels and showing off her butt.

ultrafilter posted:I got the impression from that conversation that they're just discussing what they've heard, and they don't necessarily really believe that Dehuai can do magic. I think it's not particularly well translated, though. Yeah, someone who the local savages think is a sorcerer is dangerous enough. Someone who is actually a sorcerer, and by the way magic works, is vastly worse.

Keldulas posted:Honestly I like Kawashima's and Kato's perspective being included in here. You have the entire party treating what they're doing as completely normal, so it's good to attach some regular person perspective to ground the narrative. At this point I expect Kawashima to let them off at Shanghai, take their money, tip her hat and thank them for sailing the friendly seas, then turn right the gently caress around and go back to Fengtian. Let this disaster be someone else's problem.

Her job is passing out on the ground like a sack of potatoes, and she is an absolute champ at that. World-Class.

amigolupus posted:So wait, why does Dehuai need to torture Alice by electrocuting her again? Doesn't he need her in tip top condition for the Demon’s Gate Invocation, much less not accidentally kill her? Dehuai, why are you so bad at this villain gig? I think it's a character trait by this point. Dude is just bad at his job and is just stumbling into success.

One of the great miracles of the world is that Kowloon Walled City didn't burn to the ground. The damned thing was a tinderbox full of homemade electrical patch-jobs stealing electricity from other home-made patch jobs. By all rights, it should have caught fire sometime in 1910 and still be on fire today.

Shitenshi posted:I can't believe I missed how off Keith could be. He says so many stranger danger things, but with all the strange monsters popping up worldwide and loving Meiyuan leering around the castle gates, especially near a town where Kevin the creeper could be hiding under someone's bed, he doesn't pop up on anyone's radar. Then again, Leonard for all his faults was the one decent person in all of Drakengard. So maybe it is all just a misunderstanding. Keith is the kinda guy who unironically says that whole 'Oh no, I do not drink... wine.' and then launches into his love of Belgian trappist ales.

Or maybe the unnamed order of Elite Vatican Exorcists has special dispensation from the Pope to marry due to the dangerous nature of their job, much like how German Landscknects had special exemption to sumptuary laws.

It's pretty much by definition preying on people at some of their lowest moments. BRB writing a novel about an ancient satanic ritual to pay off your student loans.

NullBlack posted:so this guy believes she might have powers from God, and still imprisons and tortures her? Not even trying for the pretense of "I thought I was doing the right thing"? Knights Templar from paranoid fiction usually have completely irrational plans that, even if successful, wouldn't work. So I guess that's just genre emulation.

Night10194 posted:I appreciate this about them. Yeah, Japanese videogames (understandably) don't talk about Imperial Japan much. I think the closest I've seen anywhere else is the Shin Megami Tensei Raidou Kuzunoha games, which are set in alternate universe 1930's Japan where the whole Imperial Japan Tries To Conquer The World thing never happened and Japan is quirky and idyllic. It kind of comes off as 'look how nice we could have been if we didn't gently caress everything up!', in a gentle sort of way. But Shadow Hearts' more direct approach is appreciated.
