He doesn't exist for gameplay purposes! The game just dumped him for me as soon as actual party members came on. Part 17: LOVE Assistant Part 17B: The Dates   With that, we have finally seen all the ~romantic~ content that this game has to offer. Which one of these lovely contestants will get to be our beloved?

...is it just me or were Yuna and Min's dates awfully similar? "You're not doing this with anyone else, right?" "I want you to keep looking at me" Heck, even Sia leaned into the latter a little bit. Meanwhile, Yohan gets his own material. A-grade material, at that.

I'd have thought that Sia's confession would have taken place near the heart model as soon as I saw them go to the science museum.

One scene: "Hey so I almost killed 500 people by creating a wormhole." Next scene: Passionate romance. This game...

Nice What's funny is there is manga turned anime that does Sia's schtick so much better. It's called Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove It.

I think for Sia's science shtick to work and be endearing, she has to be not so... repulsive. Literally all her personality beats outside science are her being rather self-centered and selfish, it's not really workable.

Honestly, Sia doesn't seem interested in romance at all. At best she's a workaholic and at...uh, "worst" is the wrong word here but at the other end of that scale she just strikes me as full on aromantic/asexual. Is that what the devs were going for? Probably not! But who knows. She definitely has absolutely no chemistry with our boy Yajirobe at all. Part 18: The Cannon It's time for the endgame, and the plot twist that everyone saw coming from a billion miles away.

Suddenly random QTE's update, also that was a really thick looking polaroid photo. A bit late, but I really don't like how wobbly the camera is during cutscenes. It's annoying that no shot can seemingly be stable for no real reason. Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Dec 23, 2023 |

Sia is a workaholic, but a big part of her social link and background is about getting her doing other things aside from her work, such as play games or romance. Aside from that, Sia does respond kindly to the main character's flirtatious dialogue, though I do agree that she definitely has absolutely no chemistry with the main character.

Part 19: Umbra Merry Christmas goons! I got you the thing you've been asking for all season: the end of Eternights! Sorry, what's that? "This gift sucks, Artix"? Well, just for you, I have a follow up video in which we dramatically read reviews from people who obviously played a completely different game than we did.

Ah yes, the final boss fight that is a perfect storm of "gently caress it, throw something together" and "We don't have time for playtesting". And the lack iframes is what killed my interest in playing Space Marine, so yeah, I can understand the pain. I see they didn't even bother with at least some moderately decent lip syncing for the anime section. ...Wait. THAT WAS IT?!

Wow, I didn't expect Eunji to show up again, especially actually in a cutscene instead of just a "oh yeah she recovered" line at the epilogue. As for the rest, well, I've been told that if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all. Johan's writing sure as hell saved the experience.

This final boss very much took inspiration from the final boss of Persona 5 Royal.

Going by video views, it's telling that more people want to see us just poo poo on the game post mortem rather than actuly see the ending of it for themselves.

I can't help but think that Yohan and Yajirobe cutting to one or the other for the majority of their scene is meant to allow for any of the love interests to be pasted on the other side, since it's not like Yajirobe says anything specific to Yohan either. I can't bring myself to see the review video at the moment, I feel I need to mentally prepare myself for it first. I'm satisfied by the end of the game remaining a massive disaster in like all aspects. Keldulas fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Dec 26, 2023 |

The story could definitely have used some looking over. Everything went back to normal, but apparently Min's team is still dead because she keeps running for them? Also, apparently pressing R2 is the most heartbreaking thing possible and not a cheap way to make the player feel emotions without having to actually work for that.

why do I have the sense that the biggest differences in the ending is whether a given character's blurb shows up or not and the hair/chest of Lux's 'surprise' character? also out of curiosity, what's Yohan's blurb if you don't pick him?

Yohan travelled the world, and every couple of decades, stopped by his brother to check in on him. Kind of a  low effort ending for him, and so considering his romance plot of "man, being immortal and working for Lux really loving sucks", I think him dying is actually the better end for him. Because at least he got closure with his brother and he finally gets to rest after 800 years of Lux's bullshit.

Oh yeah, I forgot to link this earlier but it turns out the criteria for making the QR code show up (and I'm genuinely mad it didn't because it's such a hilarious "gently caress you, do you have your phone ready RIGHT NOW") is romancing only a single person. This gives you one of the following "true" endings for a character. They are exactly as low effort as you might imagine something like this to be. https://www.studiosai.dev/eternights/ending-videos/MinEN https://www.studiosai.dev/eternights/ending-videos/SiaEN https://www.studiosai.dev/eternights/ending-videos/YunaEN https://www.studiosai.dev/eternights/ending-videos/YohanEN

So you... actually get a more obviously good ending if you date several people? Checks out.

Why are these videos linked via QR codes and not just rendered in the game? Does the dev want to avoid having the videos datamined?

I think I understand why they're QR codes. It's meant to attempt to communicate the idea that, suddenly, you got your love interest's message on your phone out of the blue one day. Hence, they want the ending to be looked at via your phone. However, it's hilariously janky looking. I mean, I did look at the Yohan one, and the contents of it are actually reasonably cute and a continuation of his supports, at least. But the dev definitely didn't consider that someone's phone may not even be on them when they're playing.... Never mind the fact that forcing them to go through the process of finding it and specifically scanning it to see the clip completely defeats the purpose of trying to see the post-ending blurb suddenly on your phone.... Also, from the sounds of what Artix is saying, the QR code doesn't stay visible for that long....

Is the stuff after the 'cute' messages supposed to be a sequel hook?

I guess the final scene is open for interpretation but it seems to heavily imply that the chosen romance candidate is actually alive and reunited with the protagonist as a parting gift from Lux after some time has passed. Why am I defending this lovely game again?

Oh, I thought it was these qr codes instead of the other ending, not getting both of them. Does that mean that while you're watching the dumb video on your phone the normal ending is just trundling along in the background, making you miss half of it?

Nah I think the QR code is the very last thing that’d show up so you get the title screen in the background while you have your uhhh touching reunion.
