I, too, thought that Kris was Marth at first.

Never played FE12 so I don't really care about Kris, but Lena and Julian were some of my favorite units in Shadow Dragon, so I'm glad they're finally in. Lena in particular would have been my MVP if Caeda wasn't crazy busted in that game.

I've been playing since launch, and I finally just finished my first 5* exclusive +10 unit. I eventually want to find a better skill for his C Slot (Threaten Att/Def 3 from Rudolf would probably be ideal), but still. He's beautiful, and I'm glad he's finished. Resplendent Ephraim when?

Excellent album. She has such a unique and powerful voice.

My favorite tracks are For Her, Relay, and Drumset. The title track would be a favorite too if it didn't inexplicably end with a minute straight of dogs barking. If I wanted to listen to annoying dogs bark for 60 seconds I'd ring my own doorbell lmao

Basically how much you like Chloe.

Well now I'm curious because I didn't really like Chloe at the beginning of LiS, but she definitely grew on me a lot by the end. So maybe her likeability is like a reverse parabola? Could be neat. Hopefully it's not a straight upward trajectory, otherwise I don't know if I'd be able to handle 3 episodes of that. Either way, I'm definitely gonna nab BTS the next time it's on sale.

I would like the Redemption ending better if Finn/Cass could be there when Sean got released as well. But the fact that they (understandably) moved on is just another knife in that ending.

Yeah, that would have been cool if they showed up, even if it was just platonically.

I definitely enjoyed the Lee/Clementine dynamic as well! It's hard not to draw that comparison. It's neat how at the end of every episode they showed you the choices you made as Sean and then they also showed you the choices Daniel made independently as a result of Sean's choices. It adds another layer of complexity to the choices you make, and I love that. I tried so hard to be a good role model, and by the end of the game I felt like a proud big brother lol.

I agree that the political aspect of the game was underdeveloped, for sure. It's easily the weakest part of the story. I think they tried to get a bit too ambitious with the story they were trying to tell and in the end some of the ideas ended up half-baked. I think with a few changes there could be potential for a decent story about racism in America in the script somewhere, but what we got (for the most part) was too on-the-nose and oversimplified to have any sort of lasting emotional impact. On the other hand, I live in AZ, and I personally have met some pretty awful people that make those over-the-top cartoony hillbillies in Episode 5 seem not entirely unrealistic, as unfortunate as that is. So I guess while I can get on board with the game's prevalent theme of "fuck racist hillbillies" , I definitely wish it were presented with more tact and nuance.

I think I might replay the original Life is Strange soon, maybe after I give BTS a shot. I hear a lot of conflicting reports on whether BTS is worth playing, so I'm interested in seeing what makes it so divisive. I played LiS1 a few years ago, and while I liked it quite a bit, it didn't really resonate with me the way LiS2 did. A lot of the story is kind of hazy for me, so I want to give it another shot and see if it'll resonate with me more on another playthrough.

I liked the game, although the road trip nature seemed to make choices (outside of the Daniel developing ones) matter even less than normal since the characters weren't see again.

I got Parting Ways ending and Finn joined me in Mexico. Watching the other endings online I feel like it was the best one? Redemption was way to depressing imo.

I definitely think your point about the choices is a valid criticism, though I think the road trip nature is still one of the biggest appeals of the game to me. Some combination of the coronavirus situation and my own quarter life crisis is making feel increasingly trapped and anxious, so it really was a perfect time for me to play LiS2 as a form of escapism. It makes me want to take a cross country roadtrip myself! Maybe next year when I have some more PTO saved up and this coronavirus shit has hopefully blown over.

Anyway, I ended up getting the Redemption ending, and even though it is super depressing and bittersweet and made me cry like a baby, I still think it's the best one.

I tried to play Sean as morally as I could, and Redemption's the only ending that doesn't involve murdering a shit ton of police officers to get to Mexico (even if Sean has every right to be resentful towards the police). Thematically, it makes sense for Sean to make the ultimate sacrifice for Daniel so that he has a chance at living a normal life, as depressing a thought as that is. My initial thought was that the Parting Ways ending is better, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that one's pretty depressing too. First of all, Sean and Daniel and separated, and that's no bueno :(. Secondly, I've been quarantined for only two weeks and I'm absolutely miserable, so I can't imagine Daniel is leading a very fulfilling life being on what I assume is indefinite house arrest. Though it's nice that Sean can end up with that lovable goober/dumbass, Finn.

Best Life is Strange 2 ending?




I just finished the final episode recently, and it resonated with me way more than I was expecting it to. It has flaws, sure, but overall I enjoyed it immensely, so I'm a bit surprised about how little discussion I generally see about it, especially compared to the first Life is Strange. I checked the Life is Strange subreddit (probably a mistake) and they fucking haaaaate LiS2 over there, damn. I can't say I was expecting that! Apparently LiS2 > LiS1 is a pretty uncommon opinion.

I'm curious what you all think. Is LiS2 an underwhelming sequel? An underrated gem? An okay game, you guess? A flawed masterpiece? A big ol' piece of shit?

What do y'all think?
