I'm hoping Karin cheers the heck up. She's kind of a gloomy Gustava and so far every line she's had is either her being confused or thinking Amon/Yuri is surprisingly gentle.

Kind of a boring space-case who has a well-worn copy of the 1914 equivalent of The Shape of Water?

Though Nicolai being slated to be the actual protag of this game while it was being developed and the writers caving into subsequent fan pressure to bring Yuri back when the first screenshots were dropped should make this guy's real affiliations suspect as soon as you get him. I don't think he even has a profile in the instruction manual.

So that's where his resentment of Yuri for being the real hero comes from. How meta.

Here in Shadow Hearts: Covenant we deal with our weird poo poo one at a time. The puppet girl isn't immediately pressing, therefore it can wait.

Really don't think the Mayor thought attacking Yuri and friends through: He and his gang weren't strong enough to beat Joachim, the new group WAS strong enough to beat Joachim, so of course that group is going to be strong enough to beat HIM.

And now the mayor is going to war with the super-powers team up of the guy that kicked his rear end and the guys that kicked that guy's rear end and his rear end. He's just not very good at this tactics stuff.

I like this game a lot. I've played it through at least three or four times. But I don't remember a single thing about this dungeon. Even the boss is a big blank.

Yeah, this seems like a huge missed opportunity to do a cool Industrial Revolution ghost story. I think that's what they planned on doing, what with the setup and the killer boss design, but when the crunch came this was the least important plot beat and they didn't have the time or budget to make it decent.

Man, this feels like the Dungeon of Wasted Opportunity. This is the least interesting possible interpretation of a Mirror Palace in your mind dungeon. Couldn't even be bothered to make a Nightmare Karin miniboss fight. Give her some character development, y'know?

How is it that so many people keep learning what the Emigre Manuscript is, where to find it, and how to use it, but never why using it is a terrible idea? Are all of them like "yeah that guy hosed up, but I'll be the one to get it right!"?

Tsukoyomi is also notable for the bizzare story of why there is night and day.

Mythopedia posted:

The Death of Uke Mochi
Uke Mochi, the goddess of food, held a great feast. Though she was invited, Amaterasu was unable to attend and thus sent her consort, Tsukuyomi, in her stead. He watched as Uke Mochi began to create the feast, but found her methods to be incredibly repulsive. She spit fish, rice, and deer from her mouth before pulling food out of her other orifices. Tsukuyomi was so horrified by her actions that he killed her then and there.

When word reached Amaterasu, she was horrified and labeled her husband an evil kami, unworthy of returning to the Heavens. This separation of Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu was the origin of day and night. For all eternity, Tsukuyomi will continue to pursue Amaterasu across the night sky without ever reaching her; even during an eclipse, the sun will run from the moon.
