The blue one translates to melancholy or depression, not sloth. Might be meant as the same, but there is importance in the nuance.

Weeeellll... back in the day, there was an eighth deadly sin, "Despair", which was a sin that since you are in a world that God created, you should never despair at being part of God's plan and thus taking yourself out of this plan (suicide) was a sin so that might have something to do with it.

Well today was the day I learned the Limbus Company is going to be a Gacha. I am very depressed. Not only because I have trouble with Gacha games (keeping interest, I mean) but also because it's dangerous: Nippon Ichi's attempt to create a Gacha game caused them to spend so much money, it caused them to cut a lot of corners on their next game just to keep the company from bankruptcy. *glares at Disgaea 6*. I just hope it is translated okay.

They haven't talked about money, just about wanting to do serial-style storytelling, which is a reason I really can believe here. Wonderlab, Distortion Detective, and Leviathan have all been serially updated, and Library of Ruina's early access was serially updated with a general schedule. But all of these are formats that eventually need to end, especially Ruina, which had returning characters that couldn't sit in serial plot limbo forever. So now they're doing Library of Ruina 2 with more levers, so that they can increase the available design space for new content without necessarily linearly increasing power.

And as far as games-as-a-service goes, the three models that have shown any real success are "MMORPG," "CCG" and "gacha." MMORPG and CCG are fairly restrictive, being fairly strict genres, while gacha is more free-wheeling. (Lootbox shooters probably qualify, for example.) So they went with gacha.

Now if we open up the game and there's a VIP system, multiple purchasable currencies, and a dozen "these packs only available for the first 48 hours!" messages, then yeah, I'll agree that they're looking to pick our pockets. But if they really do want to do serial storytelling in a game, then I can understand them picking this model for it.

I mean, they'll built up enough goodwill with good storytelling and interesting mechanics with me so that I'll try it out. I just get skittish around gatchas.

I'm just going to enjoy doing side events that explain and fill out parts of the world. I'd love to learn more about specific Corps and Syndicates and Fixer Associations through our Sinners having to fight them in a new dungeon crawl event every 2 or so weeks, or short stories on a new Identity I pull.

I want to collect all the Colours.

I understand a great deal of Dante's Inferno, as it had such a huge impact on things like D&D and I read the Metamorphosis, which was deeply unnerving. Big fan of the Odyssey, even if reading the classical version is hard as balls. Watched a video discussing the Don. Probably need to look up the rest.

Yeah, they might have Limbus Company do one story and have another game to cover the Distortion Detective story, which is centered around a much smaller cast. Maybe a party based RPG!

People on Steam have not heard of TQ :(. Most of the replies were aware of the game either through just playing LC and LoR or because of MILI. This is unacceptable.

I'm looking forward to it! I'm hoping that if I am with it from the start, I'll be able to understand the story better. Most Gatcha games have left me completely confused because I enter in the middle.

Mine is a toss up between Don's "Gremlin Energy" as TQ put it, Outis, because she's probably the only one whose shout outs I'll get, and Gregor because body horror is fun and I remember reading that story when I was young and it was SO WEIRD.

I think I've basically twigged onto the flow of the game, so it's going to be interesting trying to explain it all in understandable english for people to pick up properly.

.....I got absolutely no LP work done tonight, though. We all saw that coming but it should be the only night I lose entirely to Limble Crimble.

That would be so helpful, thank you. All these numbers and no tooltips are making me go insane, even if I am beating the game without really needing them.

EDIT: No matter what, though, I think we're going to need to copy Malkuth and use a notepad for all the dang submenus.

Okay, so, finally ran into a combat where I couldn't win by just rushing them (the 3 wave fight against the TingTang Boss). I found that if you are probably going to lose the clash or are under fire from too many sources, that's when you should either pull out the big guns (EGO) or just use the defend command.

Also, Don is acting exactly like I expected her to. She's not an old man anymore, she's a fit woman with a big weapon so she's hurting people according to her delusions. The only reason the original Don couldn't do that was because he was an weak, old man wearing garbage.

I legitimately do not understand the clash logic sometimes in the human fights and it got me utterly destroyed against the chapter 2 Mariachi boss. I had ten actions lined up, why the gently caress were there so many unopposed actions on the part of the enemies? Is it to force you to use the defensive actions? Because if so that's really, really dumb.

Yeah, I only got through the Marachi minions by learning how to use defensive actions.
