Also you didn't go into detail about this, but the protagonist's personality is measured in some kind of hidden point system, and if you go too far in one direction, ostensibly opposite choices get grayed out. IE be too much of a dick and you can't be nice later, or be too stoic and you can't flirt at all. Though it can be inconsistent.

Clearly this means the intended method for selecting responses is to roll a die and choose randomly. Wouldn't want to get locked out of a choice by being too predictable, after all.

Finally caught up. This naturally means Psycho Knight is gonna do two updates tomorrow for some reason. :v:

I'm very much a cold-weather person myself. Forget even "you can wear more clothes to stay warm", I just don't get as cold as other people, for whatever reason. Which helped back when I worked at a football stadium and would have to stand outside in the cold for six to eight hours. Didn't help so much when I had to stand outside in the heat for six to eight hours.

I wouldn't put it past this game after what we've seen so far.

...Crevanille's black lipstick makes him look like a j-rocker...

And the hair and outfit definitely reminds me specifically of Nikki from Chrono Cross.

Hopefully the game doesn't get :airquote:

funny

with regards to Regina's corporeality.

Voting Frayne, Eliza, and Yuni for ~~Social Link~~ Furlough time. First vote I've been caught up enough on the LP to participate in, even!

Do we just never tell you guys about our foresight visions? It sure seems that way, and it confuses me. You’d think Crevanille would be relating every one of these to the party.

Reminds me of how oddly cagey modern Persona games are about whether or not the rest of the party knows about the Velvet Room or if they think their leader just occasionally loses his wits and stares into space for a while every so often.

Psycho Knight posted:

Easy on the visuals, Christopher. You’re still talking to the princess.

If your princess is such a delicate flower that she can't handle talk of a bloody nose, why is she in a war room?

Still an update or two behind.

Caught up again! Not in time for the party vote though...

So the clone angels are just mindless "robots"? Is that why Zombie Regina is saying they're incapable of defeating the originals? Lack of sentience is kind of a fatal design flaw. Maybe they thought it would make the artificial angels incapable of rebellion or betrayal, but we can see how that worked out.

Or maybe their Anime Power Levels are just lower. We need more combat data!

"Literally anyone dies to further the growth of the main character" is common

His brother, his gf, his dad, his other dad that taught him the hadouken, etc.

Another one is "hero's entire hometown is destroyed to give him a reason to go on his heroic journey instead of staying at home farming dirt".

There are still four more to obtain. We will have them all, whether they want to join or not. Also whether I want them to join or not, since I know I hate at least 1 of them.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! The only thing that surprises me about Leona is that the thread stuck her in the party, but then didn't vote for her during the Furlough.

Considering the opinions you've expressed so far, I'm pretty sure that means Cynthia and Meline can join the party, presumably after Not-Sephiroth is dead by Crevanille's hand.

Leona, Vallery, Eliza, Hien.

Since the party was Eliza, Frayne and Remus for a while, let's go with Vallery, Leona, Hien.

Magnus, Eliza, Hien, Sidney, and then Leona and Meline because I have to troll somehow. :smug:

You gotta field all your troops at least once, right?

I have a question about the character endings; namely, are they just "who Crevanille ends up with", or is there actual story or character development in them? Because if all the Amber and the Lovers Oak or whatever enables is deciding who Crevanille romances, I honestly don't give a poo poo. But if there's additional content gated behind these character endings, I'm probably going to vote for the Oak because honestly Regina and Maggie are more interesting to me as characters than... uh, what's her name, the assistant lady.

Yeah, then just put me down as "I don't care" for the Amber vs Oak vote.

You could just back up your memory stick to your PC. The PSP ain't exactly Fort Knox, even if you don't have it hacked I don't think it has anything like what modern consoles have where it cares about the timestamps on the saves or anything.

Magnus because he's Magnus, and Regina and Tricia because we haven't used them yet.

E: Also, I find it kinda funny that Tricia waits until Ludwig is dead to join. Like, how much fighting does the party expect to be doing at this point? As far as they know it's basically cleanup at this point, and then whatever they need to do to activate the spell nullifier thingamajig. She's basically showing up and going, "Hey guys I'm ready to help fight the bad guys! What, you're saying the war is over? Aw shucks, and I was all ready to totally help out, too!"

I mean, we all know there's gonna be a final dungeon and a fight with a wannabe God or hellspawn or Eldritch abomination or something because a JRPG doesn't just end with a human antagonist any more, but they think their strongest enemy is dead and everything's a downhill battle from this point.

Yuni still exists, so I doubt all spell energy is gone. That would kill her, remember? And also probably Crevanille.

I almost forgot about Enrique

How could you forget, uh, Darrin?! He's pivotal to the plot!
