That knife thing was just Omori having a grand old time. And I’m sure that picture Basil looked at was so happy, it made their eyes water. That was it.

Acacia Sgt Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Go ahead. Never heard of it myself. Then again, I doubt you'll be interested. Hourai High is basically Earthbound meets Anime High School (TM). It originally came out as a Tabletop RPG, which then got a SNES video game adaptation of the setting. The game itself incorporates a class system not unlike what you'd see in some of the Final Fantasy games... and again, with Earthbound style humor and quirkiness, and the Anime High School setting (TM). So yeah, I can already see you refusing to try it out. Edited September 4, 2021 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Well, I think that’s enough Omori for now. I’m glad it started getting more… interesting, when it did, because otherwise I was getting bored. The gameplay is boring so far. There hasn’t been a lot of it, but I didn’t really enjoy any of it (well, other than that encounter on the stairs, but that doesn’t really count, does it?). Some of the overworld music was starting to get a little annoying, but from what I know about the game you should definitely keep the sound on, which I’ll do. The writing seems pretty good though. It’s hasn’t really done anything yet but just the dialogue and the descriptions of things are quite good. This definitely seems to be a game where the entire point is the story and stuff, though, so this is all okay. I like the stuff, so I’m definitely not dropping the game now. Should I be fighting random encounters? Will I be wrecked later without doing so? I’d rather just avoid them. Though that side quest wants me to grind the rabbit monsters… do I want Sooks% that badly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather just avoid them. Well... This is still an RPG. A rather easy one, I cruised through it by just fighting whatever was on my way, but still. If you don't do even that you might have some problems later down the line, I'm afraid. 22 minutes ago, Sooks said: Though that side quest wants me to grind the rabbit monsters… do I want Sooks% that badly?

Honestly, you should fight a little bit just for the battle themes. There's a new one each area and they're all pure gold. Also, the enemy designs are cool, but that's because the game is just visually great overall. Quote But the Sooks%! For the record, the only sidequest that is relevant to the main story is a sort of collectibles, which I don't believe you've seen yet. Everything else is just an opportunity for items, money and funny dialogue. I did quite a few of them. Even found an entire side area with nothing but irrelevant content at one point and spent some time there. However, I started to get bored, spending less and less time on the game each day, until eventually I thought "yeah, no, this isn't working, I'm genuinely loving where this story is going, I better stop fooling around before I quit." And so I did and it was one of the most magical gaming experiences of my life. Sooo uhhh yeah. What I'm trying to say is, you do what you want. I know how important the Sooks% is to you. But if you at some point absolutely don't want to bother, don't. There's nothing much to gain from 99% of the sidequests, and the only one that matters just requires that you explore a bit. Well... There's another thing that gets you an extra cutscene at the very end, but if you miss it, I'll be sure to send you the scene online, so no worries. Also, there's two routes. One route is almost entirely side content, but... We'll get to that. Don't let it worry you for now. I believe you'll go the main route anyway. Most people do. It's just the right thing to do. 35 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: But eh, screw it! Just a tease of what the game is about. Oh right, I forgot to respond to your earlier post. Yeah, it doesn't seem like my kind of game, but it does look good for someone who is into this kind of game.

Gotcha. Yes, I've been found out. Spoiler It's actually a "community" version some fans of the game made by hacking the arcade version into an emulator or something, in order to play a version of the game with better netcode.
