Acacia Sgt Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Man, the bosses are certainly quite something. Valac was cool, though, mostly due to the visual gimmick of fighting while descending the spiral. Also, Iga can't fool me. OD is pretty much Notlucard. 1 hour ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Bloodlines does say on the character select screen that Jonathan Sr. was born in Texas, close enough.

Interdimensional Observer Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Playing RF5 is nice in a way, but I'm now questioning if I should save-scum for dating confessions.🤔 The one thing -no sources stated- on the Internet I can find that provides supposedly the raw numbers behind the mechanic, puts it as follows. Making a "I want to date you" confession at 7 LP has a 30% success rate, 60% at 8 LP, 90% at 9 LP (90% being the success rate ceiling). The success rate is halved if you try to date a second person. So at the 7 LP minimum it becomes 15%. If you try dating a third person or beyond, each subsequent confession is -5% acceptance rate. This bottoms out at a minimum of 5% -and you must have at least 9 LP to have that 5%. I think each LP above 9 increases the base acceptance rate by 10%? Another source might've said that.😅 (Which with the second confession halving, becomes +5%.) Since Cecil is too much of a kid, and the gals are not for me, the remaining five would -according to the above data- assuming I get them all to 9 (presently at 7-8), be: 90-45-40-35-30. And you can reload a save to try again if you don't want to raise their LP another point to try again (you can only attempt a confession once per LP level per character). 1 in 3 odds at worst isn't that bad to reset for. Though I'm split, I don't want to spend too much longer on this game, but I don't want to just rush through the officially-dating events either.😆 -Definitely not going for the 100,000 Seed Point vacation house, but I want to play at least until the spring flower festival I didn't enact on the first year (presently on Winter 11). 15 minutes ago, Armagon said: Trump is definitely saying the N-word by October. B/c the Os' speeches last night (+the general party-hard! energy at DemCon)? ...Although I feel like there's a worrying lack of specifics-laden econ-talk at the celebration, blue pep alone can't win the battlegrounds.

I saw the news yesterday, though I didn't realize she was the Cool V 🙁 (yet I did ponder for a moment if the voice actress did any SRW roles). The Japanese voice for Bayonetta also being Viletta, I can see the typecasting. 🌷🪦 I do like Viletta as a character, her relation to Ingram was interesting to me when I was younger (and now I find it a clever adaptation of a MaMC-FeMC situation).

I'm pretty sure it's the same for Akimi & Akemi, which sounds boring but entirely understandable. -I presume Super Hero Operations -if only I could understand it- already established Euzeth as having cloned himself into the blue-haired protagonist. In which case, making the other the clone of a clone would be an adaptation within the boundaries of imagination. Unless it was Atlus's localization, I'm 99% sure they changed a certain part of Viletta's backstory between OG1-GBA and OG1-OGs. Viletta wasn't bound to the Judecca in GBA b/c as a clone, she was an irregularity that Judecca couldn't enchain (so she told Gilliam in the ending). OGs has Viletta instead say that Ingram removed her shackles, but it was too late for her to do the same to him.🤔 -If this was an actual retcon between the two versions of OG1, well OG1 GBA released four months before Alpha 2. Cobray and the two antagonist Balshems weren't invented until Alpha 3, two years later (OGs being two years after Alpha 3). Maybe Banpresto hadn't long-term-planning conceived of them yet? Yet once they did exist, well Viletta couldn't feasibly be an irregularity any more if there were more clones of the Progenitor back at Balmar.

Euzeth was also a human in there, not an alien. Hmm... interesting. I mean, it doesn't necessarily has to mean she can't be an irregularity if more clones are around. But I guess for whatever reason they decided to go with that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it doesn't necessarily has to mean she can't be an irregularity if more clones are around. But I guess for whatever reason they decided to go with that route. Likely a combination of having a clearer idea of what they wanted to do with the OGverse, and having more storage space going from a GBA cartridge to a DVD, they did add details to some of the Balmar stuff. The Ingram & Euzeth scene at the very start of OGs's prologue, the dream Ingram has with Alpha 3!Cobray. There was also this, right after Ingram wakes up from the dream.: Ingram did talk to Viletta about the inability to learn basically anything about the Balmar in GBA. -But Ingram goes into more detail here, and IIRC, in GBA he questioned if Balmar even still existed. Viletta's comment was a new addition, an obvious nod to the existence of the other clones. Ingram also mentions holes in his memories. Given the aforementioned appearance of Euzeth, he had to be responsible for the holes. Consider that 2nd OG has that whole "Euzeth remembered Alphaverse", and that includes the events after his death b/c the Adamatron shows the silhouette Dis Astragant. Euzeth knew his plan had a very real chance for failure, that Ingram could resist, that Viletta could escape. Even though he seems to have been operating independent of Ruach and Ephes and the rest of Ze Balmary, Euzeth mustn't have wanted to let any information about Balmar possibly become available to the Earthlings, Viletta could've easily handed it over. ... Twas striking to me in my youth.😄 -Though I know on my earlier playthroughs that I missed out on the final exchange you get between Ingram and Viletta only if she gets the final blow on him. You nothing special if you give the kill to SRX Team or anyone else. (The Viletta convo pivoting into his normal final words once it's over.) ...And checking YouTube for the GBA version, OGs flipped the script for the above two lines.🧐 GBA Ingram tells Viletta to carry out the orders he gave her if he loses total control of himself, she vocalizes her hesitation to do so, and Ingram says "You're not just my counterpart... I'm part of you... Even if I die... As long as you live, so will I.". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we know Alphaverse had a planned overall outline before they began working on it, we can't say the same for OGverse. So perhaps, yes, they rethought things a bit.
