“Are you also from the future, like this other guy”, to be specific! Not just “is time travel in play”, but “are you one too?”

Lysine is one of my fave songs on the soundtrack, and y'all should absolutely listen to it.

I...think War of the Worlds itself, author and all, is in the public domain in the US? Even after the Mickey Mouse Protection Act, it's been more than 95 years.

I'm no copyright lawyer, but this feels unnecessary, unless British copyright law is more restrictive, maybe?

Not to, like, counter advertise a different LP in this one's thread

but Kyle McCarley has a bunch of videos on youtube of him playing the game, and they're a fun watch if only to get the voice acting, which rules

...or you could play yourself, which is probably ideal, and very recommended

Ah, I get it!

It's 13 sentinels because this is a multiversal rendition of '—All You Zombies—' and the single person that is everyone only turned into a robot 13 times.

Fluffy is wonderful in so many ways, starting from the immaculate voice acting.

He’s like if Grimoire Weiss was even more patronizing.

Without question my favorite character in the game, even.

This is one of those games where you're probably doing yourself a disservice if you don't listen to the English voices, assuming you don't speak Japanese, because literally everyone nails their roles.

It is incredibly well done and I’d recommend actually finding a video if, y’know, that wasn’t likely to lead to spoilers.

I haven't updated the second post in a while, and I'm wondering if I should just do something else with it? Like, maybe I could summarize each character's story so far in it, if people need that?

Your call, of course, but it’s probably a good idea with 13 different protagonists!

It's a high school cafeteria with only one small booth to get the good food at, I'm more shocked there aren't fights breaking out

Thanks for trying so hard with the voted-in squad; that's a ridiculous amount of dedication to the poll!

I'd have given up after the 3rd wipe, I think

Anyway, that said, I don't love the battle system in this game, but even as it tries to crash whatever system it's running on, this final battle does a stellar job of immersing you in the intended desperation

also Edge of the Future is such a good final battle song

I really do love that the game so strongly rejects the "but they're AI, so they're not real people" thing. Miwako deserves the world. (And I'm a gigantic sap and really loved that they gave pretty much everyone a happy ending, even the adults from loops ago.)

They should have left Ida to rot though.

Wait, so Tamao's a flesh and blood human being like the others? I thought there were only 14 (13 Sentinel pilots + Okino).

Nope, there's 15.

I believe (and don't quote me on this, I might be remembering incorrectly) Okino and Tamao were actually planned to have stories, but they were cut because the plot was already monstrously complex and the devs were under time/budget pressure.

On a different note, thanks for this fantastic LP of an equally fantastic game!
