I think other than the plot driven social media posts (revelations of events that Nika doesn't see firsthand for example, which we've already seen when Aurora was introduced in 4.5), my gut feeling is:who do you guys think going to be a lot active on social media in SG? I can't wait for the social media feature to be added in chapter 5!
- Nami, because she is extroverted and can't shut up
- Nia, because she probably has a fatalistic attraction to the internet even when she's not working
- Mila, depending on plot direction (afterall, she asks your opinion on a post)
- Nancy, because she seems to be confident,
- Kate, because she seems to have a massive ego
- Ayua, because it's a great way for Ocean to introduce easter eggs from WIAB
- Jeff, because he seems a pretty social person
- Trey, because he's kinda the comic foil so far
I think a massive part of social media will be the side characters, like the twins, the first team, Mario etc to give the bit players a sense of existing without having to develop too detailed a back story. It'll make it seem like there's a world going on beyond the dramas of the immediate social circle, especially if Ocean doesn't force the posts to all be related to the plot or prioritise them by how close the character is to Nika.
It's a great way of expanding the lore without having to go in depth, like all the books in RPGs that you read, always hoping you'll get a +1 stat
Maybe some of the things we see in the background (like that girl cheating on her guy posted earlier) will happen on social media, kinda paralleling what's going on in the main scene.
