Yuri casually shrugging off losing control of his demonic powers and releasing a finger spider from his body is a good indication that he hasn’t changed too much.

Zeus did impregnate a woman with a beam of light in one myth.

Finally caught up in time to see us recruit the absolute best party member. It seems that Keith was the only member of the Valentine Siblings to miss the wackiness gene.

DukeofCA posted:At least unused party members in this game still get some experience, so they don't fall as far behind as poor old Zhuzhen. As bad off as he was, he still got some story focus. Unlike poor, poor Keith who basically ceased to exist after letting Yuri crash at his castle for six months.

Sapientes Gladio has a bizarre mixture of horrific evil and comedic incompetence that make them ideal as villains in this story.

CmdrKing posted:The game is remarkably unclear on the manner of Jeanne's death (I mean, if she weren't wandering around in Yuri's soul, we couldn't be entirely sure she *had* died). Although he was absolutely kidnapping her. He’s the kind of villain who gets one offscreen terrible act, then becomes a joke afterwards.

Rasputin being an actual sorcerer is not exactly that big of a stretch. I dunno, I just thought the game with the gay wrestling vampire would be a little weirder with this historical figure.

I love that this is a setting where summoning a flying demon to assassinate a princess in a city is less suspicious than just breaking her neck and dropping her in the river.

kw0134 posted:The evidence is that "prayerful healing" would have been, with the state of medicine in the 1910s, the most helpful thing to do for a child with hereditary anemia. You can't transfuse platelets, any number of medicines are at best snake oils with no efficacy and the real medicines would be contraindicated. Having a creepy old monk put his hands on your head and mumble a few words and not letting the physicians try out whatever pharmaceutical nonsense they've whipped up in a lab that would make a meth cooker blanche would have been a healthy thing to do. That and healing magic is an established fact in this universe.

Edvarius posted:Gotta give this game credit, when a strange secret society cult goes through great lengths to obtain a forbidden tome of things man was not meant to know, you don't really expect them to just use the thing as a bribe. They know it’s more trouble than it’s worth. I’d say using it as a bargaining chip is the second smartest thing to do with that book. The first is burning it.

Night10194 posted:Wasn't Nicholai going to be the main character in a first draft of the game script, then they realized 'gently caress it, Yuri is great'? That’s what I heard. When they changed gears, Nicholai was turned into a smug, vain little worm of a villain that only succeed thanks to an overpowered stick just to be as unlikable as possible. If true, it shows that somebody higher up in the developers must have really hated the idea of him replacing Yuri.

BioMe posted:3rd Birthday is an even better example where they should have done that. All you'd need to do is change names and come up with a different reason why the main character has magic powers (that are completely different from what they were to begin with anyway). I can assure you, Third Birthday would be about as abysmal even without the original game connection.

Night10194 posted:I appreciate Joachim trying to be a hero at multiple junctures, too. Seeing party members actually try to stop villains during cutscenes is such a rare treat in JRPGs that I’m not even annoyed that none of the party remembered that they all have magical powers and shouldn’t just try to rush the evil wizard.

FalloutFan56 posted:Always wondered if that was really Simon or just some figment of Yuri's imagination. I mean, can random souls just pop up inside other souls? Is Sea Mother or Yuri's dad just hanging out off-screen or something? We’ve already seen that Yuri’s head is surprising crowded. People and monsters just pop in and out as they please. I will echo Albert being treated so positively despite being such a cliche and unnecessarily cruel evil wizard in the last game being very off-putting.

I like that Yuri is starting to show just how much of a toll all this constant tragedy, geopolitical conspiracies, and demonic attacks are taking on him. Like he’s already saved the world from an evil wizard (who will now be treated as just a misunderstood hero from here on in) and space god, but now he has to deal with it essentially repeating while everyone is rushing into the biggest war the world has ever seen around him. That’s got to be a big morale crusher seeing all your efforts amount to basically nothing thanks to forces beyond your control. You can tell that underneath his sarcasm and cockiness that all he wants is to be done with things for once.

Ratoslov posted:Yuri can totally read Russian. He is causing problems on purpose. Long before the story, Yuri absorbed a demon of Bable. It gave him the power to translate all languages and spread that effect to his allies. He never mentioned it because it failed to add to his punching powers and was, therefore, irrelevant in his eyes.
