  • I've finished the main game so I got some final thoughts but first a preface on some of the stuff I did before end game.

    I was dicking around since I didn't want to progress the story yet so I ended up entering the Halloween area a few times- the one that specifically warns you not to do that if you haven't finished the game yet. I got my shit kicked in until I came in after I had the double jump. I came across this scene.



    So decided to follow them to the highest point of this area, once against entirely ignoring the developer's warning sign telling me not to do this. Somewhere in my mind, I got to here and decided to pick the high intensity option.

    Cats are looking pretty good.






    I managed to win first try, but damn was it a fun fight. I did not regret doing this at all. My reward for such a show?



    Totally worth it. The fight that is. The costume is the cherry on top for such a fun and chaotic fight. I pretty much I'd pretty much play the rest of the game with Erina's succ costume on.

    Back onto the final fights, the boss rush took me off guard. It would have been more fun but they either inflicted an attack lock or MP drain debuff almost every time which slowed things down and wasn't fun. When I wasn't debuffed it was a blast using all the tools available to me to demolish them.

    And then I got to my revenge match. Which I ended up beating pretty handily. It was really fun but it genuinely made me wonder why I got filtered during my last playthrough. I guess it was just a skill issue on my part at the time.

  • So we have a rare case of me coming back to a game I had quit... I think it was around five years ago? Let's just say five. I recall quitting not only because I didn't really care about the story or the characters but also because I got really frustrated with the game towards my end of my playthrough; plateuing with a boss that I recall copied my equipment setup in some way? I recalled the game again recently and decided to go in for my revenge round.

    Well, I unexpectedly have been having a blast with only one point being real frustrating so far. That's not to say I don't have issues with the game. I think the way passages in the map are filled out is garbage. Basically, any room that you haven't entered or existed from a direction is treated as a wall. So if you need to pull back to safety because you fucked up you do have to remember where you stopped or else when you look at it later on the map it looks like dead end room. I can see the logic on why it works this way- it probably a way to stop spoiling possible secret entrances and exists but man has this bit me in the ass more than once. I also don't like that if you visible see an item you can't obtain yet that it is not marked on the map in some way.

    Since this is a metroidvania with cutscene inbetween lots of gameplay, I have no idea how I'm updating this. Hell, I just reached 50% completion last night as I'm typing this.



    So I guess I'll just add to it as I go and let my gallery tell the early part of my journey. Maybe I'll make a tier list of the girls as I go. Yeah fuck it, that sounds like fun.
