Not going to play The World Ends With You. Going to play this instead.


Starting from: the-- even the place name is probably spoilery. On Fodra.

rainfall brought to my attention that it makes absolutely no sense with our established character traits that Hubert isn't very suspicious of Emeraude.

But, hey, that character trait was beaten out of him a long time ago, right? AND HE JUST LOVES PASCAL SO MUCH NOW. SHE'S HIS ONLY FRIEND.

So Graces basically has the plot write the characters instead of letting the characters drive the plot, even till now?

I was hoping that would wear off soon. I prefer story's where the characters don't let the plot dictate them so much that their characters feel less real. Maybe that's why even though I have fun with the game I don't get the same feel for it on a emotional/analytical level as I did past ones? =/

That was the conclusion we came to. The characters are doing and saying what's convenient for the plot; when Hubert needs to be suspicious, he is; when he doesn't, he isn't; when Malik needs to be important to Asbel, he is; when he doesn't, he isn't; etc. It's a little disappointing.

I'm still enjoying playing the game, but it's definitely not on the same level that I enjoyed the Team Symphonia games I've played. (It's been a long time since I really played a Team Destiny game.)
