buddy up? o.o

forgot my phone when visiting gsis and the baby today wooppp but d'aw baby already looks bigger than i saw her just 5 days ago :O

annnnd ToS2 Good End beated, almost tears again but wooo. also lmao Emil acting needs an oscar

I retain my belief the game is way overhated as is Emil who I feel just makes a really wimpy first impression. Gameplay is still clunky tho buuut I do love playing Emil with +20 aerial combos and all them elemental physical arts - I like monsters but lordy lordy capturing them is such a frustrating tug 'o war with the AI teammates. ToS1 gameplay lol you really gotta detach them from the idea of "playable characters" and just accept them as party slot alternatives to help you grind a buncha monsters levels with. You really gotta accept that they're practically just guest characters.

ToS1 cast still has great characterizations, especially as I mentioned it in my ToS1 update my appreciation of Regal improves tenfold. It's hard for Sheena to top her original appearance but she's still one of the most prominent in DotNW. Zelos samey with less presence, Raine's intelligence really shines, Genis isn't hateful this time, Colette is pure lighthearted goofball now without any melodrama secrets, and Presea is a bit more open but still not so important. Lloyd... he gets back to being fine near the end but god damn if he isn't trash most of the game. Yeah yeah there's some reason for it but... nahhh dude you REALLY could've done a lot better than not explaining ANYTHING going on, like wtf you can't even tell your friends you're not out committing massacres? suuuure bud

My appreciation for stories often hinges on its antagonist cast and Richter is finally a legit, cool big bad that has legit aims to save the world in his own way instead of cartoon villainy and conquest. He's kinda like my current top ranked big bad Dhaos with his ending reveal except he fixed the main problem with Dhaos I mentioned in the ToP review - Richter actually holds a strong presence through the course of the game. Alice is a bit more of a shallow love but very much a love because hell yeah dom sadist girls, she's a horrible person grown from a hurtful upbringing (I unfortunately missed the conclusion of due to missing a chapter 5 step), but I just enjoy her hate for the world and everyone in it.

Going through this series playthough up to now I really don't understand the idea that ToS2 has some monumentally horrible story as often highlighted - being turned off from the start I get it, don't like a story of a meek boy's self-discovery okay... but many entries I've played to now have just been rather worthless, frustrating, or unfulfilling in their plots so I just don't get where the depths of DotNW's hate comes from.

Too sleepy rn to get into Emil and Marta comments annnnd I'm kinda gonna be busy in the next couple days but I gotta leave it here for nowww. For now I'll just say DotNW is very much a story of self discovery for both Emil & Marta (as if the heavy-handed chapter 1 didn't make that obvious lmao) but it's one I very much come to enjoy as they find themselves.

side-note Emil/Marta sooo much better than Kyle/Reala driving Destiny 2 through complete one-sided blindness
