Is it just me or did the animations in this update feel quite a bit worse compared to previous versions? Seems more "realism" was put into them, but that just made the animations look odd, out of place or in some cases, making no sense at all
Damn I'm bad at spending moneyThe walkthrough Recommend it to buy it, so I did.
But damn, you Broke,how?

f you take it as a culmination of his journey beginning with the wrong intentions, it kinda makes sense, though.
From the very beginning, Orion's goal was to have fun in Kredon, change his luck and score babes and possibly get laid. Then when he learned of the prize awaiting those who got the gems, he starts fantasizing in Ekabar what life he would have if he becomes CEO of Ulysses. He also takes shit from no one, given how the correct response in dealing with Axel was to punch him (instead of confronting him or grabbing his hand away when he tried to fondle Annie). These show that he has always had this "brash and confident" streak in him.
Then through the course of the story, he continues to keep on "winning" without much setbacks (the only one being when he lost his gem and the fight against Thanatos in Ogygia): He gets his first gem at the Red Herring, he pulls off the Heist without much of a hitch, he takes Wagner's gem and curbstomps most of his army in the process, he starts becoming physically buff without going through the Mikaela workout routine, every LI starts falling for him, he even manages to seduce a powerful being like Caly despite her arrogance, he starts making a name for himself as the Huntsman as his still-unexplained powers continue to grow unabated...
Granted, most of his successes are also thanks in part due to help from the girls, and that's where he mostly shows his more compassionate and nice guy attitude. But his behavior this update, in my opinion, is simply a culmination of all the things that have been happening in the story so far while also showing the glaring flaw that Orion has had since the beginning. A flaw that is starting to cloud his better self, as seen in how he basically was gung-ho with the gem hunt and set Nova aside before Nan chastised him. Too bad that alone wasn't enough to really set him straight.
Which is why I think this ending is warranted. As I said before in this thread, Orion still has options to get himself out so I'm not worried about his survival. But he needs time to self-reflect and put himself in the right mindset. Right now he's still in the mindset that all of this is just a game (figuratively speaking) and he is "the hero" who will save the day, bed all the women without consequence, and become god. With that mindset, he essentially is no different from The Founder, and that's not what the dead needs.
No, what he needs is to actually BE the hero that the dead and the girls deserve. He needs to come clean and express his intentions with all of them and make them realize he loves them all equally. He needs to adjust his attitude and his goals and actually start taking shit seriously. He needs to understand why things that are happening in Eternum are happening and not just go about them like some sort of Main Story Quest in a VRMMO (granted Ekabar is a good start but that seems to have been initiated by one of the LIs rather than something he himself should initiate).
Like Idriel keeps saying, "you're not asking the right questions." Mayhaps the reason she is saying that is because Orion isn't changing how he's looking at all these things based on his current lifepath and attitude. Hopefully some time being a wandering soul in Eternum (or perhaps Limbo) will change that.
Also still holding out that The Founder is an Astaroth either from this universe or another that is attempting to conquer the multiverse after acquiring the Gems of Doom, however that works
This is the kind of stuff that makes me question if William's lore bomb is completely accurate. Because while it sounds like he got most of the details right, there's still a lot of stuff unaccounted for: namely the existence of Idriel in Limbo and why she and the dead are reaching out to Orion of all people, why the souls of the dead are trapped in Eternum since it's implied that the Founder simply stumbled upon Eternum already being in such a state, why the Weapons of Atlas were created by Idriel, what the Gems of Doom actually DO when they are completed, what the deal is with the Syndicate in all of this...yeah, still too many unanswered questions rather than answers IMO.I'm personally abandoning Orion's potential supernatural parentage and just gonna say he's special just because.
Complete the game in the correct storyline and there will be many open galleries for youHow do I unlock the gallery?
Play the VN.How do I unlock the gallery?
Another story with a bad plot twist. It's too forced to get shot out of nowhere getting pizza by some random junkies. I know I always go through shity areas at night in the rain , warn people before hitting them so hard they fly into a dumpster just, get right back up and shoot someone. Yeah this update is a zero. Done with this one.
Fair warning I will yap and write a LOT here and I'll probably repeat a lot of things already said in the thread but I feel like theorizing, I'm really sorry for that LOLIf you take it as a culmination of his journey beginning with the wrong intentions, it kinda makes sense, though.

Agreed. The Founder seems like the type of person that would let William think he found out all the answers, likely telling William a very watered down version then letting him search for the truth behind the Founders back all the while the Founder is manipulating what info William gets. As for Idriel I get the feeling that she is some kind of special being, like a god of the afterlife and by trapping her in limbo is how the Founder got most of his control over Eternum. Orion has the 100% compatibility score which is why the dead are seeking him out but why he has that compatibility is still a question. Parentage seems unlikely and right now it feels more like someone who has talent for basketball or math, like maybe he has some mystic or psychic power that allows him to communicate with Eternum more than others. Since this world is connected to Once in a Lifetime, while they may not share story lines Once in a Lifetime canonized mystic and supernatural phenomena in this world so maybe Orion is just gifted in that. The weapons of Atlas feel like Idriels way of rebelling, at the same time it feels weird that the princess was made by Idriel so maybe they already existed but Idriel manipulated them in such a way as to be used as weapons against the Founder. The gems of doom clearly weren't made by anyone, they feel more like the Infinity Stones, fragments of that world crystalized into material form, or there was some nexus of power that was destroyed and the gems are fragments of that. Maybe the xenomorph threat is like Eternums way of cleaning house because of that event. For the Syndicate...I don't really have anything for them, but while I was writiing that all out an idea came to mind.This is the kind of stuff that makes me question if William's lore bomb is completely accurate. Because while it sounds like he got most of the details right, there's still a lot of stuff unaccounted for: namely the existence of Idriel in Limbo and why she and the dead are reaching out to Orion of all people, why the souls of the dead are trapped in Eternum since it's implied that the Founder simply stumbled upon Eternum already being in such a state, why the Weapons of Atlas were created by Idriel, what the Gems of Doom actually DO when they are completed, what the deal is with the Syndicate in all of this...yeah, still too many unanswered questions rather than answers IMO.
Don't forget that Eternum (as known to regular earthlings at least) is only a decade old according to the intro.Parentage seems unlikely and right now it feels more like someone who has talent for basketball or math, like maybe he has some mystic or psychic power that allows him to communicate with Eternum more than others.
