I wonder what Sel is up to regarding Futaba's missing parents. It would be boring if it was just a repeat of the situation with Makoto's father's death

I wonder what he's up to regarding Futaba in general lol A lot of us have for some time. But yeah, her parents seem to have been foreshadowed a lot lately, let's hope something comes of it.

After platinuming the game, it was enjoyable and satisfyinig. It's not a game of the year, but it's definitely in my top 5 for new releases I played this year.

If anyone case, that top 5 is:
1) Persona 3 Reload
2) Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
3) Veilguard
4) Mechwarrior 5: The Clans
5) Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

Notes: I haven't played Metaphor Refantazio yet, but everything I've seen tells me it'd wind up on this list, and SMTV is only as low as it is because I wasn't in the right headspace for that kind of game when I played it, and will go back when I'm in the mood for it. If any of these games is falling off to make room for Metaphor, it'll probably be MechWarrior.

Unicorn Overlord was the gem of the year for me, unfortunately no pc release, but you can easily download the switch emulator built in package from fitgirl or the like. Metaphor is ready to play for me, I just haven't had the time (as it will be my first of persona like games) and I want to make sure I can dedicate a bit of time for it. I also watched a review of metal slug tactics and it seemed like a fun short game to pass the time, might check it out as well.

r u a programmer too? if so, what area do u work in?

also my fav is Origins I also enjoyed Inquisition but Origins was S tier. I heard Baldur's Gate 3 is similar but haven't been in the mood to play games for a while

not really, just adapting my examples to the number of programmers here. BG3 is one of, if not the best, rpg ever made (as it relates to tabletop), I definitely recommend it. Not perfect by the way, but what it does definitely puts it way up there.

My favorite is also origins, simple game but a lot of strong narrative points. the brood mothers and the deep roads poem, the legion of the lost, the betrayal, the landsmeet, the rhyming tree, the ancient spellblade elf, the harrowing, the list just goes on and on.

I mean, I could emulate it I guess, but then my consoles would feel quite betrayed. Unicorn Overlord slipped under my radar, I'll take a look at it.

shoutout to Bingoogus assuming he's still bingo'ing and around

Big Penis.

I conclude that Bingoogus is indeed still bingo-ing and around. Quod erat demonstrandum.

For anyone who is in the same boat as me and can't contribute much to the ongoing off-topic discussions (this is not criticism btw, if anything then it's just me admitting to be boring), here's a few more thoughts I had during my continued replay of the game. And I apologize in case some of those thing have already been mentioned or discussed in the past, since this is gonna be some really old stuff.

Spoiler: Let's start with a few screenshots that didn't age well (for the characters at least, I guess)

This section in particular is bothering tf out of me…

I explicitly remember Maya is the one who wrote the journal and even confesses this to Sensei. I can’t for the life of me track the event down, though.

Dude, throw that shit in a spoiler, no one wants to scroll past all that...

 

[Riolol]

This section in particular is bothering tf out of me…

I explicitly remember Maya is the one who wrote the journal and even confesses this to Sensei. I can’t for the life of me track the event down, though.

It was Maya, it was like that before the rework as well but the journal entry said she was a lesbian.

Install the Guide Mod. The saves will work after that.

Maya claims to have written it during What it means to be destroyed.

Maya claims to have written it during What it means to be destroyed.

That's the one! Thanks. I knew it was somewhere around Chapter 2, but with as big as this game is, it's easy to forget certain things.

You're clearly not "too dumb for this"--your instincts and analysis are all spot on.

The thing with all the breadcrumbs Sel has scattered to the wind for us to chase is that it's really easy to start finding patterns in meaningless noise.

You know.

[Squalicorax]

Finally getting caught up and I'm just gonna say I am incredibly smug about my Ami theories being pretty close to right. Suck it nerds, I managed to successfully predict 1 (one) thing (that was heavily foreshadowed)

Here's some assorted observations on 0.45 which I don't think have been pointed out yet. I'm planning on writing dedicated posts on the narrators, HOPE, and psycho Ami, so I mostly don't talk about those here.

First, here's a couple of favorite moments beyond what others have posted:

There was a few things I really tried to pay attention to, but with what we learned in the most recent updates, maybe the most glaring thing for me is to really take a close look at Ami.
And I must say, there is really zero signs that she would be this omnipresent being that has a wicked and twisted plan and who wants to manipulate the world into something else. I'm not saying it's not possible, but at least before the first reset, Ami seems very innocent (in comparison) and I didn't notice any hints of her being Prime Ami or having any extra knowledge. This might of course change in the future chapters.

After the first reset, Sensei woke up in the classroom and Ami was right in front of him. Just like from the start of the game. And here Ami repeated the first ever phrases from the game word by word. Only when Sensei saw Maya again, he starts remembering what happened during first in-game cycle.
