i don't expect much out of japanese game series novels. when you've got a big universe with lots of place to expand and explain, it's pretty normal to want to fill in some of the stuff that gets left out of the main game. sometimes these can give us insight to the characters we didn't have before, different outlooks on certain in-game events, or ( Read more... )

My vitriol for this novel is immense so I'm glad you posted something about it so I won't have to annoy my exasperated f-list with it

oh hell I might do it anyway, this novel is terrible

if you have a problem I have a worse one;;;;;; I have spent so much energy that this game probably does not deserve trying to make its backstory make sense it's not even funny (I am serious)

I think part of my annoyance is not just that it contradicts my headcanon (which seems somewhat similar to your headcanon) but that it's so inconsistent that like...idk that all the extra canon simply doesn't fit together in any coherent way kind of makes me embarrassed to like this game as much as I do :(

sob YEAH i love love love this game so much ... but then when i start to deeply think on plot and world related things i just go 'oh god namco what are you even doing'. like do you guys even know what an empire is? CHAIN OF COMMAND how does that work?? space cthulhu tentacle monster i will go pretend i don't know about the second half of this plot now.

i think my main problem with the novel is that it uses a bunch of pre-established canon events but ... does them in an order that make no fucking sense in a timeline? aughhhh vesperia why do i love you

LOL HOLY SHIT pressed enter too quickly crackjaw December 2 2010, 22:37:43 UTC
basically the moral of Vesperia is that fans put way more thought into the game's story than the writers ever did and sometimes I am like, why do I even bother. TOV I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU :(

I am glad somebody shares my PAAAIN however so...mind if I add you? ♥

YES I REMEMBER HEARING ABOUT THOSE... that was a while ago right, maybe they dropped the idea

HOPEFULLY

seriously, this game does not need to be made more confusing and stupid than it already is

i haven't heard anything new about it in a while and the only reason i can fathom them doing it is milk the shit out of the vesperia title even more than they already have

hopefully they were all just on a really bad collective acid trip and they've gotten in rehab by now
