So I decided to look into this Doki Doki Literature Club that all the kids are talking about these days since it's doing so well on the GOTY poll today. The good news is that it's free (there's a DLC pack for an additional ten bucks but it doesn't seem to contain anything essential). The bad news is that I'm not sure about anything else.

Anyone here played this? Should I actually give this a shot or not?

The game just seemed to lack enough story for my tastes so I'd rather give it an honest and fair shake when it has as much to offer as possible. I want to like it because it gets certain things so right so I'm going to give Tabata-san as much time as possible to make my fantasy into a reality.


I dunno. It doesn't seem any more barren than FFXII's story to me and you like that game more than I do. Plus, the characters actually interact and talk while you're moving from place to place instead of having to wait for a setpiece for more stuff.

you might not know what to do with this tossed salad and scrambled eggs but they're calling to me again

I'll probably replay the game in full once it's complete, but I don't have a problem playing it in short bursts as it's coming out.

seems strange that you would rather wait until it's all done considering how much you love watching ongoing TV series

I dunno. I just got out of the habit of watching TV regularly while I was in college and never really picked it back up. Most of my TV viewing these days is sports.

Anyway, I've got to install a pretty big FFXV update since I haven't played the game in nearly a year so I probably won't get started on the DLC episodes tonight. I suppose I should've checked for this earlier, but oh well.

actually I guess it would be more accurate to say I've haven't completed a show that began airing in the last 15 years

I've seen episodes here and there of stuff like How I Met Your Mother, The Office, and My Name is Earl, but I never really got deep into them.

I've heard good things about it. I honestly don't watch a lot of movies though. I probably watched more movies last year than maybe the previous decade combined, thanks to tearing through the MCU (and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies), watching all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and the Star Wars movies (I still need to watch 2, 3, and RO though).

I'm not sure I've watched a TV series that started airing in the last 15 years either (anime aside).

the irony of the fact that I'm watching through old episodes of Frasier as I type this is not lost on me (especially since Frasier was just the absolute best at irony of all kinds)

no I think F/Z demonstrated that Kiritsugu was wrong but they still try to paint him as a guy who was still trying to do the right thing in his own way (Irisviel in particular overpraises him to high heaven) and I don't buy it

Anyway, in Fate.....stay night, the Saber/Assassin fight ends pretty much exactly the same way it ended in UBW, even down to the dialogue. Gilgamesh shows up still wearing his shiny battle armor instead of his suave suit from UBW, furious at Caster for saying she wanted to enslave Saber when she belongs to him. Then he unleashes his hyperspace arsenal and kills both Caster and Kuzuki.

In this iteration, nobody knows who Gilgamesh really is, even Saber. He's just obsessed with making her his own. Shiro goes to see Kirei (who hasn't shown up at all since the early episode where he explains the Grail Wars) to figure out what the deal with Gilgamesh is. Kirei feigns surprise and promises to look into it. He says the winning Servant of the Grail War can drink from it and gain a new life in this world, and he tells Shiro he could save up a Command Seal to force Saber to drink from it and keep her here if that's what he really wants. It'll be interesting to see what he does about that since I assume Saber's going to win!

Then Saber tells Shiro the truth of the previous Grail War, about how Kiritsugu was her former Master, and her wish to go back to her own time to correct her mistakes. The next day, Rin asks Shiro what his plan is, and he replies that it's to take Saber out on a date. The sheer absurdity of that statement causes me to burst out laughing, and then Rin bursts out laughing, too. We were totally on the same page right there! Illya tries to get in on the dating action but is cruelly cut down.

Anyway, their date was a nice slice of life breather episode...until Shiro tries to rake Saber over the coals about wanting to correct the mistakes of the past in an attempt to convince her to stay in the present, and she rightly calls him out on his hypocrisy. Yeah, I'm not really buying this pairing. It doesn't work for me. Shiro/Rin was really good because they're polar opposites in some ways and similar in others, but I think Shiro/Saber are a little too much alike, especially in the stubbornness department. I guess I'll just have to wait a little longer for the true OTP! Anyway, the episode ends with Gilgamesh coming in to claim what is his.

Fate repeatedly tries to tell you that Kiritsugu really isn't that bad of a guy (which ironically makes it really hard to sympathize with him when the disconnect between what I see and what I'm told is so big)

I mean even Saber right there is basically like "he wasn't a bad guy he just did things bad people do"

"He wasn't a cold-blooded killer, but he suppressed all emotion and easily killed anyone who got in the way of his objective"

I mean that sounds like the definition of a cold-blooded killer to me but that sums up Fate's efforts to defend Kiritsugu better than anything I could possibly say

also Shiro nearly pulled a Fei when Saber told him the story of the last Grail War and revealed Kiritsugu was her Master

"Kiritsugu Emiya? You mean my dad?"

Yeah, I've often said I'd probably like AJ a lot more if Hobonix just weren't Phoenix Wright. He'd be a fascinating completely new type of character for the series as a different person, and the fact that it's set seven years later gives you an excuse to leave everything from the OT behind (except the Judge, I guess). Phoenix is simultaneously AJ's greatest asset and greatest hindrance, which is a strange dichotomy.

I still don't like how the game goes out of its way not to make direct references to the OT though. Like, you know he means Maya, but he's just like "some kid I know keeps sending them to me."

I'm not even joking but the moment DD eased my fears and let me know everything was going to be okay again was during 5-2 when Phoenix actually made a direct reference to 2-2 and its similar closed room mystery, and even Franziska, too!

well I'm not entirely sure which part you're referring to there but it's possible I'm mistaken about whether or not Rin actually killed Sakura. There was blood dripping at the end, but not an excessive amount, and she chides herself for going easy on Sakura when she said she wouldn't, so I assumed she didn't kill her, but that's where the episode ended, so I could be wrong about what she meant!

Huh, that is weird. I rarely speed through text unless I've just game overed and I'm trying to catch back up or I've initiated the same conversation a second time.

An annoying thing in SoJ is that using the stylus to advance text usually results in just bringing up the entire next text box entirely, unless it's switching who's speaking. I actually like the beeps and the boops and the artificial feeling of the "flow" of a conversation, so I have to just use the buttons to advance text whenever I play SoJ!

Oh right, I guess I should add Peach to the female character rankings now that I'm done with Mario Odyssey, but she's so hard to rank since her characterization varies wildly depending on the medium. I actually like SMRPG and Paper Mario Peach a lot, and the SMB cartoon version is kinda cool, too, but she's not that great in the mainline games (although she had a few good moments in Odyssey) and oddly enough, in the M&L games, where she's just a damsel in distress and nothing more.

Let's see...

Nagato > Yakumo > Kurisu > Chizuru > Yukiko > Aqua > Makoto > Mitsuru > Yui > Yachiyo > Shiori > Eru > Wagatsuma > Ritsu > Akane > Pepper > Amy > Namine > Peach > Botan > Yurippe > Mikasa > Eureka > Art3mis > Valentine > Zelda > Vera > Elizabeth > Cora > Kotori

Yeah, I guess that'll do.

In Fate....stay night, Caster and her Master finally make themselves known to Shiro and company. She reveals her plan to them, and they all think the magus she's after is Illya, but nope! Saber gets duped by Caster disguised as Sakura and she uses her Noble Phantasm to negate her ability to use Excalibur. Then they invade her temple in an attempt to rescue Sakura, and it breaks off into three separate fights: Saber vs. Assassin (which is a really cool duel here, too, with how fast their swords move), Shiro vs. Kuzuki (Rin nails it with a nice parting shot as she leaves: "Trying to play the tough guy now? It doesn't suit you"), and Rin vs. Sakura possessed by Caster (and apparently being the vessel for the Grail requires a dominatrix outfit).

So it seems that Rin is aware that Sakura is her sister, but not the other way around. Rin says she is willing to kill Sakura to prevent her from becoming the Grail's vessel because, as she puts it, a magus's primary duty is to protect the purity of the soul, not the physical body, but she can't bring herself to go through with it, it seems.

Also, the next episode preview seems to indicate that Gilgamesh will finally make an appearance, so hype!
