It's even funnier since in all of my playthroughs I never entertained any of the Josy/Maya throuple stuff after the relationship reveal in EP3, nor said I had lingering feelings for either one afterwards so I just feel this is all unwarranted from Josy's end. Zoey I can understand more because of her and MC's past history, but I told her I wasn't mad at her cause it all worked out for MC by hooking up with Sage currently and even told Jacob to shoot his shot at Zoey for similar reasons.
I'm just trying to avoid any unnecessary drama on Sage's route right now by any means necessary which also included giving up the potential Jade affair since the EP8 reveal. It hurts a lot since she was my 2nd favorite woman in the VN but I guess it's going to avoid me a lot future popcorn drama with Stephen's recent divorce demands.
Josy is in love with MC no matter what and he constantly faces advances from her despite any actions. This is an easy version of a yandere without corpses in the closet (I hope).
And this was very annoying in this scene, the game makes a choice for you if you previously chose “Still have feelings for Maya/Josy”, if during a conversation with Derek in Ep.5 you say that the feelings have passed, then you can make a choice. A trap from the DPC, which he loves very much. That's what new fan guide tells:
And when Josy forced us to undress and then provoked us with her lingerie, there was a lack of immersion. At least in Maya's scene we have a choice whether to touch her leg or not. Here we are helpless spectators and look at MC being uncomfortable, “I shouldn’t be here.” At that moment there was no choice - to get up and leave. This was a red flag for me.
I liked her earlier, so I often made this mistake of “Still have feelings for Josy”, I think now I’ll have to do the purest Sage run, where I don’t have any feelings for them.
I already have a run for Sage where I didn't use Quinn and ignored Jade, now from what I know about her, I ignore her in most runs. Toxic personality, selfish and control freak. Main potential route breaker with Sage.
