A magic system based on the 72 demons of the Lesser Key of Solomon, you say?

I eagerly look forward to seeing what kind of magic we get from the Caim crest. :getin:

They should've named him Lobo then. :v:

They probably didn't because one of Yuri's fusions from the first Shadow Hearts game was Lobo, and at that point it would've just gotten confusing. :v:

Especially Zeus, who could keep his out of anything.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of problems in Greek myth were caused by the fact that Zeus couldn't keep his dick out of anything everything that wasn't his wife.

Yes.

Wasn't he a swan once too?
Or was that a bull?

Yes, and yes again.

Zeus was infamous for turning himself into whatever (or whoever) he needed to in order to get in between the sheets with someone. Hell, he once disguised himself as Artemis just so he could bed one of her handmaidens. (Things did not go well for the poor handmaiden when Artemis found out.)

There's the story of how Hermes and Apollo became friends.

I feel that the turtle and the cows that Hermes killed would dispute you on the "no horrific violence" point.

On the other hand, it's still a step above Ashe's outfit from Final Fantasy 12.

The stuff in Persona 5 is actually a lot worse than the Magimel Brothers, because the Magimel Brothers aren't portrayed as child rapists as a "joke".

Agreed; they're also a step up from the previous game, which featured a gay acupuncturist who was implied to be molesting your male party members (one of whom was a preteen boy) while upgrading your ability to use your weapons.

Compared to that, offering to sew magical dresses for creepy dolls in exchange for gay porn trading cards is kinda weird but ultimately harmless in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, I played Drakengard 3 when it came out and a lot of the early game gags just left me wondering "How the gently caress is Id supposed to LP this when the game is already making all his jokes for him?"

Aromatherapy is actually really powerful once you know what the good mixes are. It's one of those things that doesn't really work as intended when you can just pull up a guide on the internet and know instantly what the busted mixes are.

Yeah, I figured it was one of those situations where Lenny took the kid to Nicholai, assuring her that she'd be okay, only for Nicholai to just casually off her as soon as he was done with her.

Well, now that Rasputin is dead, let's rewind a little, back to the very beginning of the LP. Remember this?

The Dark Id posted:



This statement is patently false. Shadow Hearts 2 has a goddamn conga line of actual dead historical figures showing up doing weird poo poo in several places you could hop onto a plane and visit right now for the most part. Also perhaps Yuri got a wolf buddy at some point. But that's getting ahead of ourselves.

Well, there's a reason why this screen exists. And believe it or not... it actually involves the death of the real life Rasputin.

I'd be an unnamed generic person who dies a horrible, agonizing death in an CGI cutscene to underscore how incredibly hosed poo poo has gotten. Like one of the dudes getting set on fire in the opera house at the start of Parasite Eve.

I was surprised Nicolai reverted immediately to being a whiny petty little murderous jerk after being basically rescued from the traumatic experience of getting your balls zapped by evil mad scientists resulting in the demon spirit inside of him assuming direct control. But yes, truly.

Reality means very little in the face of a whiny, petulant incel's delusions of grandeur. He's the kind of villain who genuinely thinks he has everyone right where he wants them, dancing to his tune, even as poo poo spins further and further outside of his ability to control it. A dumbass, in other words.

Congratulations on finishing this monster of an LP, Id. And thanks for all your LPs over the years. Whether or not you choose to do anymore in the future, we're grateful for what you've left us with.

We all loved this poo poo.
