No artwork to fill up the space this time; I'm so boring. =3=
Around 8-9 hours in and I already saved the, uh, '3rd victim' and I even did it way too early because the girl has been skipping too many days of school so now I feel guilty about it. XD;
Not really plot-spoilery but there may be hints. But I'm mostly fangirling over the DAMN WELL-DONE SYSTEM UPGRADE THEY'VE DONE TO THIS GAME. *_*
GAMEPLAY
YOU CAN CONTROL OTHER CHARACTERS NOW!? Thank goodness, I don't need to scream over the AI anymore! (I wasn't taking it as bad as everyone else seem to have done, though) It took me awhile to figure out how the Tarot Shuffle worked, though. (I... wasn't... looking straight)
Exploring areas is a lot easier now too, because you're given the option to just skip ahead to where you want to go. Things are a HELL LOT easier now for me to do errands or repetitive(sp) actions. Tales of the Abyss would have been bearable if they had this function too!
It feels like items now are a hell lot more expensive, though. I keep getting reduced to 3 digits only after shopping. =_=; Probably because there's the existence of part-time jobs now, which is another good way of getting money! My current job is of folding envelopes. How fun. Hey, Shujinkou, you should submit that envelope-folding song to NicoVid. *punched* I wanted to work at the gasoline stand, though; I wanna meet the worker there again... D:
ARGH THE MENU ANIMATIONS ARGH AAAARGGGHHH WHY ARE THEY SO BEAUTIFUL
THE LAST TIME I GET THIS EXCITED OVER MENUS WAS BACK IN KH2 AND ARGH AAARGHH THE BEAUTY
THE BEAUTY BLINDS ME
ESPECIALLY SHOP MENUS OH MY GOD
This creativity... Where can I get them from OTL
I'm playing in Beginner Mode. Sorry, I just don't have the time to challenge myself with this game. :/
OTHER GENERALITIES
Chose the basketball club over soccer because Ichijou's my type of guy. And he looks almost exactly like Shishimaru in Hyakko. OTL (mai waifu there) I'm amazed that commus have voices now! Their lines aren't fully voiced but I'm just grateful to have an idea on how they sound. Aaaand the fact that they pronounced their names for us because, really, some names back in P3 made me wonder for a very long time. For the cultural clubs, I chose theatre over brass. I found the girl there cooler.
It keeps making me smile to see Hanamura always asking me out but at the same time, it makes me feel bitter because AAAAARRGHH JUNPEI WAS THE CHARACTER I MOST WANTED TO DATE BACK IN P3, DANGIT. ;;A;; DO YOU NEED TO SEE YAOI DOUJINSHIS BEFORE DECIDING THAT GIRLS PLAY THESE GAMES TOO, ATLUS!?
Why can't I date Nanako? D: I wanna date Nanako. I need to strangle someone if we're not dating her when we did date a loli back in P3.
I take it the guys can fap over Chie/Yukiko, yes? I mean, that's the first thing I thought when Yukiko kept saying Chie's her prince and all that. Wow, girl friendship never cease to amaze me, even IRL. :D;;
I like how weather affects your schedule, too. Also, the game gave us more reasons to hate the rain. I. WANT. TO. HANG. OUT. WITH. ICHIJOU. DANGIT.
I like Adachi a lot but Kuzu's fanart of him on Pixiv might have spoilt me a bit but I'm trying to not remember what were her comments there, anyway. 8D;
--------------------------
Nico Nico Pedia is almost as bad(=hilarious) as Encyclopedia Dramatica when I found out Tales of Vesperia has a lot of
articles like this. XDDD;;; I gotta thank
asamidori for the mentions.
That Small Fandom Meme made me realized how small my fandoms are. Flight-Plan, for God's sake, WHY are you localizing the WRONG games!? Or do my taste differs from the West that bad!?
