Oh, okay. If anyone managed to get 70 hours into the game then Joker getting into Smash Ultimate doesn't seem like nearly as wild a pick as I thought it was at first.

I was wondering how they would find a way to require the "World" arcana, and that's a really good way.

Arist posted:You may notice I tried something a little different here with that last scene. If you watch the video, the in-game version is really quick and rapid-fire, and I wanted to give it a little more punch and emphasis. Probably won't gently caress around like that too much, just thought it might be interesting. It was good.

Arist, you seem to be wondering why they go to school the day before Christmas, but the simple and boring answer is "why wouldn't they?" Christmas isn't a national holiday (Japan isn't a Christian nation, after all), and their school calendar doesn't give them a winter break on it. So Christmas, and therefore Christmas Eve, are just ordinary days. No one takes the day off, and nothing closes. I mean, they know what Christmas is, and put up decorations and whatnot, but it's more like Halloween: just a day to have some fun on. But you still go to work first.

And Christmas Eve is basically treated as a romantic holiday there. You might as well ask why Americans still go to work/school on Valentine's Day.

Qrr posted:It wouldn't have worked because people don't believe the phantom thieves exist. And people don't believe the phantom thieves exist because <footage missing>. because the phantom thieves attempted to stab the personification of the collective desires of humanity in front of the subconscious minds of everyone, who responded by forcefully rejecting them, which when the world combined with Mementos, meant literally disbelieving them out of existence because this poo poo works on M:tA consensus reality rules now. It's a slight conflation of the two meanings of "believing in" someone.

the whole "why the hell is the world combining with mementos, what the gently caress" is the missing link that the game may or many not explain

The bad guys' plan was to spread rumors of a world-ending prophecy in a city where rumors became reality. So Hitler and his secret army came out of hiding, weird temples appeared out of nowhere, the city was built on top an alien spaceship thanks to rumors and started floating up in the sky, and the cultists you've been fighting earlier in the game are now fighting the Nazis for control of the ship and the entire city's in chaos. Meanwhile, the lovely teacher you fought as the first boss came back to life as a reformed super teacher thanks to a rumor the party accidentally started and is defending the school, the protagonists from Persona 1 have all come out of retirement to help secure safe places in the city while telling the party to stop whatever's happening. And then the main villain still manages to get the final part in the prophecy about the Spear of Destiny to happen, so the Earth's rotation suddenly stops and, other than the city floating in the sky, the inertia wipes out everything else in the planet. The protagonists completely lost in Innocent Sin, and Eternal Punishment is kind of a do-over to prevent that from happening.

The protagonists completely lost in Innocent Sin... How many games are there where, win or lose, the apocolypse goes off more or less as the big bad planned? A twist on the idea happens in Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, where the heroes get to remake the world in ways that suck less for everyone involved after they win. sudonim fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Dec 29, 2018 |

sudonim posted:drat and I thought the Kefka Apocalypse in Final Fantasy IV was harsh. This happens in what, the first ten minutes of Nocturne? Other elements don't go as planned (possibly) but the planned Apocalypse happens so quickly it isn't even a spoiler, because the big riot everyone is yelling about having happened the night before was the last chance to stop it and already failed.

Part 185: 12/24: Velvet Enigma Music: Aria of the Soul And so we wake up in the Velvet Room once more, under far more dire circumstances than usual. It appears I have underestimated you… I think you mean “overestimated,” dude. And I did my fuckin’ best, okay!? What are you supposed to do when you get erased from existence, as if by the Mad Titan himself? Igor, buddy, this is kind of a trying time for me. Could you maybe try not to rub it in, or at least give me a direct answer to one of my questions for once? Where the hell are my friends? You incompetent prisoner! The assistance that we provided was all for naught. Man, everyone’s getting in on the Maaku dunkfest today. I just died. Gimme a break. The world will soon see its ruin… You have lost the game. You were meant to bring change to mankind as a Trickster, but it seems that was too much for you. In accordance to the game’s rules, the defeated must pay a price. Uhhh, what the hell? Music: Desire Executed…? My experiment has come to naught… Everything is over. What the gently caress are you talking about!? Grant that man a swift death. I-It just means that you weren’t an upstanding prisoner…! That… may be true, but… What is the matter? Carry out his sentence at once. (to Caroline) Are we really going to kill him…? Don’t falter now! It’s all his fault for losing the game! Man, I thought we were cool! This is bogus! All right, Inmate. We now proceed to the execution of your sentence. They’re going to kill me at this rate. I need to do something… Music: Awakening Ready, Justine? If our master orders so… then it cannot be helped… ...Understood. Man, it’s just one thing after another today. ”Boss": Caroline and Justine Music: Will Power Look at Igor just standing in the back there, chilling. Okay, so for this fight we’re going to want to-- Uhhh, what? Well, this is a bad scene all around. We can’t take too much more of this! I told you not to falter! Are you going against our master’s orders!? Ngh… RIP Maaku… wait, what? Hmm, it seems like some power is keeping Maaku on his feet… Our duty isn’t to kill him! Caroline! What gives…? Why am I doubting myself? Is there… another duty left to us…!? Music: Regret We are wardens—those who rehabilitate prisoners. What…? Something speaks to me in my mind. Our true duty is not to kill… I can hear someone’s voice… I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before… What should you do…? Our desire is for you to complete your true rehabilitation… Caroline and Justine look at each other and nod. We are not executioners. That is the truth we had forgotten. We’ve decided… We will not forsake humanity! The butterfly reappears, then vanishes in a flash of light. Caroline and Justine clutch their heads and collapse. It’s as if they’re the same… yet mirrored… A figure appears before the duo… The two nod again. What!? What the hell is up with Igor? So we were captives, same as you… Heh… To think we’d learn that truth from a prisoner. Let us reclaim our true form…! You must fuse us together, with your own hands. Gross. It’s time you returned the favor for us assisting with your growth. Do it with care! Fusion Wait, what!? Ah, poo poo, it didn’t even occur to me we’d be using the guillotine! I don’t know if I can handle watching these children get decapitated, you guys, there’s a reason I didn’t see that Toni Collette movie. So, Igor? You gonna do anything to stop this? No? OK. Aaaaaaaaaaagh Goodbye, Caroline and Justine. Hello… whoever the hell this is. Arist fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Sep 4, 2019 |
