Daaamn duude. The game's incredible. I don't think I'm a fan of MC not bc he is a bad MC but maybe bc he is too much of a painted canva. He has too much of his own personality and lack too much of one in the same time (let me explain lol) which kinda blocks me from incorporating a bit of myself in him.
At 1st it seemed ok, however the more we advance the more it seems like he lacks empathy. I mean yeah sure he cares abt the ppl he know but the others he couldn't give a damn abt. I'm not saying he should be crying for innocents lol. However, when foced with certain situations and having the knowledge he has on ppl thx to Cia. He could do a lot better.
I also don't rly like how dependent he's on others opinions (Ik they are his dark ones but still). Take that scene in the plane for exemple, I can understand that you want to know what the victim thinks of him. But srsly? You couldn't have an opionion yourself abt that person.
Anyway, I'm just rambling
Maybe he's becoming that way bc he has multiple Dark ones now and it consumes him more emotions Idk.
I think I'm more attuned to his bro's (the true OG of this game, pulled the meanest most powerful little sh1t, is a good guy albeit a bit dumb lol) personality but even then I'd say he is too naive and soft. I like a more balanced approach but yeah balance is probbly one of the hardest thing to achieve in this life.
I like how dev tries and put some effort into the fights, sure they could be better. However I can count on my hands the number of game Ik that actually put efforts in fight scenes. The story overall is super good and the latest animations are heavenly lol.
I have a question is wartribe academy's world (didn't play the game yet, it's been collecting dust in my storage for a while now lol, I will try it when I have time) related to this one? Or was their appearance an easter egg for a collab?
Oh also, why the hell does Sam look like MC? pls tell me he can take whatver form he wants and is just trolling lol. I rly hope it's none of that bs "he has to go through this or that so he can become me". However I highly doubt it, they have to be 2 separate beings bc it wouldn't make sense for Nael to be shocked abt MC breaking so many rules if she knew who he was related to. Neither would it make sense for her to act surprised given how she acts on the daily.
There is one thing I rly rly don't like though. If that Sam knew abt Gab (it seemed like he know from how he tried to stop Nael without asking any question), Couldn't he send one of his guardian to free him? or send one of his guardian to talk to one of his relatives (Claire, MC, Clara...) who would then go and free him. I mean he knew how she would react, I swear I'm alrdy steeling myself mentally for whatever excuse he'll serve. "We can't involve ourselves in such matters, it'd disturb the time and space sh1t". or "if you do that you'll impact an important event that has to take place for wolrd peace". I feel, no I know it has to be the 2nd one typa excuses. He knew how important Gab is for Nael, he must have kept an eye on him (otherwise he'd be pretty dumb for a "godlike" being). The question is why didn't he do anything to preven or even save him afterwards. Wether directly or indirectly.
If it's not any of the 2 then I think it was wrong of me to assume that this Sam may be a good person. Or maybe he is and is just a control freak. From some of conversations with Nael and Gab it seems like he didn't rly know that Nael had surpassed him, whatever this means for them lol. Maybe he doesn't like that not bc she's superior to him but maybe bc she is too wild and he can't control her. So again maybe he wants to use Gab to either weaken her by making a disadventagous deal. Or by using the rules of whetever their word is bound to (yk like how in a lot author's works when there are nealry omnipotent/omniscient being they limit them by saying that even them need to bend to some rules)
I just feel like whatever excuse he'll come up with won't satisfy me.
Also, I rly hope it's not dev trying to kill Gab so we can have Nael. I'd choose Gab 100000000 times over her. Plus we alrdy have Noel which is a litteral copy of Nael's chara-design lol.
Anyway, the game's plenty good to me for now. I'll definitely follow this one closesly.
ALl the best andGL dev/s
