Going to take a stab in the dark and say that the reason we'll probably never be able to recruit Towa as a potential party member is that she'd end fights with nothing more than a few words and a cold glare.Weeble posted:Wait, what?

Clearly, Asuka is using an older version of the mind wipe app and hasn't updated to the newest version yet, hence why it seems to work barely 50% of the time.

At the very least, Asuka is friendlier and more open to working with Sora compared to Kou. Progress, I guess?

I have a sneaking suspicion that the "character development stick" in Yuuki's case is actually going to be "Sora shows off her rekka combo chains to Yuuki's face".

I highly doubt Sora was the reason Yuuki decided to finally come to school. My money's on Towa being the actual driving force behind that.

With the setup and presentation of Omega Drive, that absolutely is going to come up in a cutscene in the near future. My guess is that eX+ finally lets the player use it freely without needing whatever special unlock condition the base game had. I assume it was one of those "have everyone in the party except Asuka knocked out" conditions, just by reading Omega Drive's explanation.

So, Mitsuki will tell a yakuza underboss to get the gently caress out of Dodge to protect her underclassmen, but not lift a finger to stop a gang war that she knows has been brewing for almost two years. Those are some messed up priorities there, ma'am.

You know, for the chapter being centered around a street gang with a fire theme (to the point that Shio is a fire element user himself), it does feel weird that they fumble the ball on the 1 yard line and have the final dungeon be called the Azure Ruins.

I'm not sure if I'm ready for the hard swerve into Silent Hill for this chapter, if only because of the inevitable tone whiplash that'll result both before and after the chapter's boss gets defeated.

I have to wonder if Mitsuki is a result of the dev team not completely being able to let go of the Cold Steel combat design philosophy. It's especially weird when again, you contrast Shio who is equally slow, but he can also absolutely unload damage with minimal effort and still keep up with the rest of the party. The only way I could see Mitsuki working is if you go out of your way to seamlessly incorporate the character switch button into your combos (i.e., start with Mitsuki, quickly swap to someone else mid-combo, quickly swap back, etc.) as opposed to doing a combo, pausing to switch characters, then resuming the combo.

Well, that definitely was a difficulty spike. I liked the touch in the first run of the boss' thorns taking out Sora, then Asuka pops in right into the thorns and dies just as quickly because she's also on low health.  I also imagine that another knock against Professional Buzzsaw Shio for this fight is that he's so drat slow, and the boss can just unload so much damage in the time he takes two steps in any direction.

Random question: How in the hell did Rion avoid the members of BLAZE all this time? Because I have a feeling they would have concerns about a random girl showing up to their hideout just to practice singing. Unless that's an upcoming intermission where Rion reveals that Akihiro is a secret fan of hers and helped keep Rion's secret out of respect.

Now I'm wondering just how bonkers Rion could be with access to Devil May Cry's combat mechanics, because it looks like she could easily air juggle opponents (and keep them airborne) if given an opening.

I applaud the game's commitment to making sure that when Ryouta is onscreen, he never goes more than five minutes without getting punched in the dick in some fashion.

Out of curiosity, is Asuka always the person Kou wakes up next to after the behemoth fight, or is that dependent on who the third party member is when fighting the behemoth?

Please tell me the inevitable SPiKa concert to close out the game involves Mikuriya having to sit next to Ryouta as his form of punishment. And Ryouta has been purposefully told to be as annoying as possible.

You know, I have to wonder if the dev team forgot that Kou's long range attack is a chain-whip sword for a hot minute. Because otherwise, all Kou had to do was throw out the whip sword and catch Shiori. But alas, that would have been the smart idea.

Well, I'll be honest, that was a solid ending. Not perfect, but still able to feel satisfying in the end, and sometimes, that's all that one has to do to wrap up a story. Having the credits song be called "All is a Lie" is a fitting if not bittersweet touch as well. I'm hoping the dreaded EX+ content at least reveals Towa's quick-change powers, because I want to know how she swapped from her shrine maiden outfit to her teacher's outfit in between the opening assault on the final dungeon and Shiori's farewell.

The weird part about Jun's lack of costumes is that we've seen him with at least 4 options by this point: White Shroud (with and without hood), casual wear, school uniform and his badly injured White Shroud version from late in the main game (which is basically "White Shroud without the cloak"). So, the only guess I can make as to why Jun doesn't get anything besides the White Shroud outfit is in the same vein of what Argate said: the combat animations are all built around the White Shroud outfit and removing the cloak just messes with the game in some form.

nine-gear crow posted:And even that, it turns out, is not true, because people have been able to use model swapping mods to put other characters' models over the main party without incident. I've seen a video of someone running around using Jun in his White Shroud undersuit in the place of Asuka and it seems to work just fine. I think it's a matter of Falcom's B-Team just being exceedingly cheap to its two extra-game characters.
