Karin went berserk for me in the Gargoyle boss battle. Wasn't because of an unexpected roadblock like the Yamaraja mistranslation, her SP is just that goddamn low. Deffo made sure to keep an eye on her after that.

It's pretty much a series tradition in Shadow Hearts to have the female lead have incredibly tiny SP pools. That's especially fun when you are good at video games like I am and keep forgetting that SP drains at the start of turns so a character with 1 SP means they will go berserk next turn, not that you have one turn before they go berserk. :downs:

Sure, let's take a German Officer with us to Paris in the middle of World War I, what could go wrong?

The dog is smarter than Yuri?

Yeah that makes sense.

He's a wolf.

One of the running gags of Covenant is that Blanca is way more competent than the chucklefucks he hangs with.

Another gameplay note: In Covenant, Yuri's Fusions 'cost' for SP are actually a per-turn cost, instead of the first game's up-front ones. So, instead of a big Sanity cost for transforming up front, Yuri just burns through SP faster transformed.

This actually has the benefit of allowing Yuri to switch between Fusions on the fly for tactical reasons (aided by the fact that he can now, you know, go from one Fusion while already fused), which is nice, and opens up some interesting strategies later on.

It's especially nice that they let you use any fusion you've unlocked in Covenant instead of forcing you to equip just 3 like in the first Shadow Hearts.

Taro Yoko seems to be the new go-to guy for grimdark stuff, so hopefully one of these days he'll do a Gothic/real world based kind of story.

A :yokotaro: led Koudelka reboot is something I never thought I needed but now have to have. :stwoon:

Alright, fine! He meaningfully shook his head no while epic music played. Happy now?

I do appreciate that they made a "Yuma without her mask of power hair ribbon" portrait for after she gives it to Joachim. It's a nice little touch.

Aw geez, the straw thing is the kind of trading quest you can screw up permanently? That's just unfair.

Yep. They even threw in a couple of dead end trades as an extra "gently caress you, buy the strategy guide."

e: I am good at spoiler tags. :downs:

Maybe you guys could wait until [FINAL PARTY MEMBER] is actually introduced before discussing how they fit into your party dynamics.

Like in the first Shadow Hearts, we're given the option of naming this "Odd Creature." In fact, this is nearly the same screen as the first Shadow Hearts, just with Roger's updated outfit.



By default it is Roger, but I feel we can do better.


OLD Music: Bacon's Juice
(It's Roger Bacon's unfortunately named theme from Shadow Hearts 1.)



I love that they pulled the exact same joke that they did in SH1 even though in this game you can't rename your party members so it is completely out out of place here. :allears:

As I understand it the main course of treatment was to try and bleed the hemophilia out of the kid so whatever old Raspie did would probably be an improvement.
