Euphie joined my party.Do I understand correctly that the game is more about criticism of liberalism than criticism of discrimination and racism?
>>507569127Woah that's so sickI loved the final boss, pretty rad depiction of satan, especially the whole 3 faces thing from the divine comedyThe second phase is even cooler, Louis's face breaking through the mask as well as all the wings with diffrent colored eyes are radPlus him instakilling partymember with the power of racism is funny
>>507573064Impossible to really give a response to this without spoilers
>>507573337Ok, I will play just further then.
>>507573064What do you think of Euphanize so far
>>507573986I still didn't form my opinion about her because she just joined but I think she is fine (just wish her struggles were shown in the better way). Feel bad for all girls who were priestesses before her.Also who naivety can lead to some funny situation so I have expectations for her.
>>507576185Ya she is very cute She is a fan favriote for good reasonI also enjoyed her gameplay wise but I heard a lot of people say she was ass so idk
>>507576467I forgot to check her unlockable skills but her initial skills eat a lot of MP.
>>507576805Ya makes sense, most depictions of Summoner classes in other games have them do a lot of AOE damage but be very expensive MP wiseSummoner here is pretty similar, good damage and variety of effects/ elemenets but high mp cost. Eupha does get a shit ton of MP though
>>507576467Yeah she's ass alright
>>507576998What is this costumeToo lewd
>>507577404Etrian Odyssey costume
>>507576974She is ass because she is so bad in terms of MP economy. You can do more damage for less MP with other characters. Magic in general is just kinda ass in this game. You get plenty of physical skills that deal elemental damage.
>>507524376Might aswell tryNever played a single persona and have 3 and 5 in steam family library but not 4
I'm getting myself this game for christmas and I'm wondering if I should get the Persona 5 Royal bundle. Is Persona 5 good? I've played (end enjoyed) the mainline SMT games if that makes any difference.
>>507582216It's good. Made for a bit more of a casual audience than SMT but definitely good. It's very much more narrative focused.
>>507582509Is it heavy on the dating sim stuff? Not really into games like that
>>507583278the opposite, personafags were mad at the lack of romance in this one
>>507583419Anon he's asking about Persona 5. Someone should buy you reading comprehension for Christmas.>>507583278It exists as a mechanic but is not nearly as fleshed out or emphasized as the fanbase would make you think.
>>507583278It can be ignored, the dating stuff is all optional when you get high confidants with girls, could just not choose the option and remain friends
>>507583278You can friendzone everyone

>>507606189you thought it mogged every atlus game besides p5 and it's stupid how no one else at atlus can make a game this good without needing an entire second development cycle to get anywhere near it
Before we even knew Louis name, it was clear we have to kill him but I'm still sad about it in the end. I really hope he is too popular and returns in some way...
>>507607929>entire second development cycle to get anywhere near itPersona 5 and Metaphor were stuck in development limbo
>>507608474old Hulk was so much sovl...
>>507608474>development limboP5 was barely being worked on at all for 3 years after it started in 2011, and it still came out in 2016Metaphor didn't start until 2019, 3 years after it was first announced to generate interest in Studio Zero at the start of their hiring spree
>Be me on Hard Mode>Could not Max Rank Basilio and Eupha in time>Decided that if I couldn't use all the Royal Archetypes, then I wouldn't use any>Did the royal palace + tyrant star using only 3rd rank Archetypes, enjoying the kino animations of the Dragoon, Martial Artist, Elemental Master and so on.>Could barely beat Louis' first form with no items and no MP left, second form comes in and my party can't keep up, fantasy is dead...>Change the difficulty from Hard to Storyteller, beat Louis and finish the gameStill feels good to have made it this far without the royal archetypes cheese
>>507609526>He didn't do it all with no royal archetypes + dragons on hard>Bitched out to storytellerNothing to be proud of.
>>507609526>>Be me on Hard Mode>>Could not Max Rank Basilio and Eupha in timeFucking how, the game shits on all the free time it gives you.
How does Louis have access to all these kinds of world ending spells and ancient knowledge. The game just says he comes from a family of doctors, thats it?What was even his plan if Zorban succeeded in reviving that human and killing everyone in gran trad.
>Gallica says she feels uneasy inside Louis ship, like the magla is all kind of fucked up like close to magla crystals>Never again elaborated and mentionedI was literally expecting a whole dungeon inside the ship, like full eldritch shit inside the engines.
>>507609991Play the game.
>>507610198I 100% it.
>>507610163>Never again elaborated and mentionedHe was flying around the country turning people into humans anon this came up later
>>507610483Yes, he can cast spells that can do whatever the writers need at the moment but that doesnt mean it explains whats so fucked up about the place despite being build by the original king.Louis is obviously doing experiments and stuff in it but at least show it or mention it later.
>>507610660that sounds like a cope tbqh
>>507610705That's his gimmick, he's been trying to slowly piecemeal out a bunch of incredibly stupid points he made in a big post a few days ago to see who he can get to respond seriously.
>>507610780You are not as smart as you think you are and you need to stop responding to yourself.
Who did Will fuck first?
>>507610660The Charadrius was built by the military with all the fucks to give about efficiency as any IRL military with money to burn. The ship fucking BLEEDS magla and requires constant maintenance and replacements to for the hearts to fly like it does. That's why she feels that.

Junah is the worst party member.
>>507612846True!

>>507612781Just read the last thread, its just one anon that likes typing a lot and another anon that doesn't like that, just ignore them.>>507612846Yes but Eupha
>>507609835Simple, I did not optimize my schedule at all, rather I did all the activities offered to me, there's like one mustari and one npc in each town that tell you stories that take 2 days, I cleaned up the runner, prayed at the altar, did fishing, bathed with the different salts, read all the books, built the snowman, sat on the bench multiple times, debated the other candidates, slept in the inn doing nothing, and I did not beat any of the main dungeons in a single day.
>>507613007I guess
>>507613000>Yes but EuphaI can ignore them, but I can't ignore that.
>>507613000alright discord back it up a little bit
I finally found the Skybound Avatar and Tyrant Star maps, far far away from the indexes of the rest of the dungeons. A ton of the Skybound Avatar maps are coded to go right into a cutscene when you enter, and Louis' throne on the star is the same way. Still no mage academy map tho
>>507613293>>507613209Her royal archetype is just mediocre damage with no utility and having an elemental spread is irrelevant in this game because everyone can do everything at any given moment. At least her other jobs had debuffs in them.
>>507613646Counterpoint: Blackguard's Hammer, full-party heal + samarecarm, and really really cute.
>>507613826Counterpoint: Wanton Punch
>>507614052Counterpoint: More Blackguard's Hammer AND Wanton Punch.
>>507613585Can I ask what kind of programs you are using to access this?
>>507614183>>507613585What is this
>>507614994This is all just a product of editing a function in a script file to warp me to a map by a map ID when I pick a dialogue option, and then trying out all the map IDs of which I don't know how many there even are. I thought it stopped around 500 because of all the hard crashes I was getting until I found a script that was looking for a map ID in the 560s because apparently the FOE gimmick has to check if you're in Dragon Temple or the Skybound Avatar for some reason and every single map in the game has a function that looks for this when you load into it. You have to be able to look at code but all you really need are>a cpk unpacker >Reloaded II and be able to make a mod for the game in that (otherwise you have to use the unpacker to repack a massive file)>nutcracker to decompile squirrel language CNUTs>notepad++ so I can read
>>507522886Based, so fvkin zased........
>>507616517Impressive, very nice.
>>507614183Whatever happened to the big dude in pic? He was in a few cutscenes but disappeared after Brilehaven.
>>507617309Cut content, please buy Reload in 3 years
>>507617942comfy
Oh they labeled what all the flags do haha
>>507623481Even going this route it's not super straightforward to make all the archetypes available. A bunch of first tier archetypes even when I give them to the entire party won't show up in the tree. This is definitely related to the follower rank and the solution they came up with to let the first tiers be usable by specific party members but not the MC or anyone else until ranking them up to a certain point. Hopefully can resolve this by messing with more flags.
>>507601286Who is with flamethrower?
A redditor filmed themselves crying about rellas popsicle.
>>507627105Yeah this is called Twitch.
Should I play this game in JP or EN voice acting?
>>507630512Jp.The only saving grace of the dub is Strohl's va. Absolutely stellar work, but the rest of the cast isn't as good.
>>507630512I played on English I liked it a lotThere is a huge variety in the accents and they all do a very good job
>>507624132Getting closer, but this is still pretty fucked. It turns out when you go into the Archetype Menu, these geniuses put in a check to see if you have the right Follower Rank corresponding to the Follower skills you have and if it finds a discrepancy it turns off all the ones you shouldn't have. So if I go specifically into that menu and back out, what I'm showing here reverts to what I had at Rank 1. If this wasn't here, all I'd have to do is turn on all the flags for the Archetype and skill slots and we'd be able to a whole playthrough with all the Archetypes.If I force someone's Rank to be 8, this circumvents the problem, but then you can't have all archetypes + all four slots and play through the game with the normal follower progression at the same time. I'm pretty surprised to see a check like this in here - they already had the sense to make the follower abilities togglable by flag, it would've taken the devs maybe 30 minutes to let us do this in NG+ and set the Regicide damage to 0.2x or something like that, instead they have something in here that makes sure it's impossible.
>>507630512>>507630784>dub

>>507634990Perhaps I'll check out a Persona game one day.
Metaphor
>mfw MerchantI didn't get the class at first, but crushing enemies with money is as based as you can get.
>>507634990In like 3 months after general dies. Frankly I would prefer a atlus general and filter waifu retards out.
>>507631205Atlus developers are god awful pulchritude wise, we have known this for years if not decades. They manage ps3 level assets look and run like ass on modern machines, I am surprised these games don't bug out more.
>the last non-party follower was in the second townBruh... I guess at least Edeni was supposed to be a follower.
>>507630757He is a theater actor, they are all pretty good in vidya usually, like xenoblade cast. Must be something about scripts and practicing?
>>507641795Would've been cool if he was a follower or party member.
>>507528982That bothers you and not her gigantic heels? At least Junah as an excuse
>>507634990I could just go to a site with persona porn art and get the same experience
>>507573064Its just neutralfagottry propaganda. There is even a point in the game where you see law vs chaos debate
Why does the game want me to feel bad for Joanna? Bitch had been feeding scores of literal children to her monster. Like if it was just>monster got out and ate some people and she didn't believe it/covered it upit would have been bad but far more understandable, but she took active role in the murders.
>>507642479During the boss I don't think you are supposed to feel bad for her past sympathy and be more angry at society instead. Heismay seeing a little about himself in her does make sense, and I do like he feels he has a job on destroying her delusions (Why didn't the game touched on the theme on relying on fantasies too much? Was right there in the table).She gets way too much pity from the party in the next city tho, I agree.
>>507642782>>507642479She's only really sympathetic in hindsight when you learn that melancholia fucks with peoples' heads and Humans radiate the stuff.
>>507642479Before the game went to shit I thought either the church or Louis were more involved with Johanna case and all the magla shit.Hell the way the game presents the papirus riots incident and the mage tower in the first hours makes you think there is a big conspiracy behind it all, probably involved with the mindless husks in all cities.Instead of just nothing?
>>507642832No fuck you, take some accountability, magla might fuck with your head a tad but it doesn't force you to genocide or murder your neighborhood like the people on gran tad. The people on this game are flock with 0 accountability, they didn't earn their happy ending.
>>507643139It's more like the magla poisoning pushes shitty or depressed people who were tiptoing on the edge over it. It's mostly a threat against the mentally unwell.
>>507642782Basically this. In the end she got the punishment and it was much better than all her victims got. I don't understand why party thinks it was cruel.
>>507643139Joanna's personality and motivations 180 after you kill the human. She goes from deluded and obsessed seeing nothing wrong with callously killing tons, even subordinates, to being willing to confess, even though it'd be easy as fuck for her to pin everything on the party for revenge as it'd be her words against theirs, not to mention they're traveling around with Heismay.
>>507642479What did he mean by this?
>>507643773Execution is fine but making it public with all the grandiose feels like bad taste. I don't think the party is that much against killing and executions considering Eupha is in charge of them post ending, the gallows still exist so the concept of a life sentence is probably alien if not inefficient and unjust to the victims, so is forced labor too.
>>507644315Bardon is there, so is Heismay. If she wanted to save face she just would had need not to come and execute Bardon. The magla might had been a factor but she was 100 in control of her actions.
>>507644430Once genuine repentance comes into equation, its not hard to be against permanent punishment, there is literally nothing to gain for any party. Not that I agree, punishment is deterrence for crime, sunk cost fallacy be damned
>>507644910One of the reasons why society has been on the backslide is that we've gotten rid of public punishment, torture, and executions. Punishment is not just about deterrence, but re-establishing authority.
>>507642479Also it's super weird that she was able to genuinely tame a human right. Like that was just straight up her pet
I hope we get Bosch's depiction of the Prince of Hell as a human in the DLC, just look at this fella I do wonder what is with the recurring bird motif in a lot of his works, including a lot of the humans in the game
>>507652050I want the guy with the flute stuck up his ass
>>507652050>The Prince of Hell is a hybrid being with a bird head. Its form blends human and animal features, symbolizing judgment and punishment. It devours and releases human souls through a transparent orb shaped chamber beneath it.
Who's most likely to become the Prince's queen? Will it be a follower, somebody completely new, or will he be forever alone?
>>507652050>put something in the ass>ARTWhy are euros like this?
>>507644910Those for whom punishment is deterrence should not exist in a society. Only those who return the shopping carts unprompted ought be permitted membership.
!
>>507658327Please don't rape me again Eupha
>>507655132It's a metaphor re:fantazio for how men were scared of homosexuality, aka taking it up the ass, at the time. Rather brilliant I think, bravo Bosch
>>507655118Junah and Eupha are the most likely, followed by Hulkenberg.
>>507655118Maria!
I hate how close together you get Junah and Eupha to join. It forces me to have both of them in my party because I don't want anyone to miss out on exp.

[Delightful News] https://personacentral.com/metaphor-refantazio-director-future-development/Weekly Famitsu #1880 features an interview with Hiroyuki Kobayashi and Katsura Hashino discussing scriptwriting and future projects.

>>507642479It's kind of fascinating how zoomers need to be looped through this all the time like the story is somehow telling them that she should get off free despite what she did. There's a ton of excuses that get made for it that never hold up but really it's just an unhealthy obsession with wanting to be the executioner stemming from a lifetime of being powerless
>Louis ask them find some artifact>they assume he doesn't know what it doesHmmmm, I expect them to fuck up bigly.
>>507673902what the fuck did I miss where did this come from
https://personacentral.com/famitsu-popular-games-2024/With Japanese developers DQ3 was the most popular game of 2024 followed by Astro Bot as one might expect, but Metaphor came in at #3 and beat out FF7 Rebirth in this outing as well.
>>507696910around 60% i would say, you have a lot of cutscenes coming up and then it's home stretch to end game
>>507701251There's no way dragon temple is 60% unless you just start skipping all the optional content past that point
>>507701546using the spear on Louis at the opera happens in Altabury then it goes ice dragon>fight with louis>elda sanctum>final month plus hours of cutscenes and talking
>>507644430this line was fking nuts lolrare L for metaphor scriptHeismay's bits with her were good but she very much needed to go to prison for the rest of her lifeDahmer for example is known for his repentance in prison (which his bishop believed to be genuine) but he still very much deserved to be in prison for life
>>507701870You realize just how much shit they give you to do in that entire period right
>>507701953Then she spends her life in prison? No one is weighing in on what punishment she deserves they're just surprised that she didn't run off after kind of doubting their plan was going to work the whole drive
>>50770154660% sounds about right I was around 37hrs in then and finished at 62 hrs after doing all the dungeons/bonds/etc availableI even had extra time to go bathe in the wilderness
this game is a fucking mess only the young people at atlus can write

>>507719015I still think it's funny that /v/ went on a woke crusade over this game because you get Tolerance from talking to a mustari who advocates gatekeeping their religion

>>507700313Balancing justice without going over the line into revenge is something lots of people have issue doing. To me, for justice to be served something good has to come out of it to balance out the bad of the initial crime. If you get someone who truly repents for their crimes and would live the rest of their lives trying to make up for their mistakes does that not fill justice to a greater degree than just locking them up and removing any ability to do good as penance? The problem is that those people are far and few between and many people are stuck in a one size fits all idea of a justice system where standardized punishment is the only answer.
>>507740756Standardized punishment is as close as we get to fairness thoughbeit. Imagine if everyone had the ability to dole out justice on a societal level for simply being the closest and strongest to the criminal at the time. Imagine how many people felt shafted because the murderer of their children got off to die a danty death where others would hang for the world to see. Imagine the unending seethe if people let her go free because "she's going to make it up, I swear!" And that's on the predication that the people nearby dishing out justice were actually good people looking out for what they felt was best for everyone (and not including a delusional person that would protect a figure of authority because it's for the best if nobody knew their terrible crimes).The Justice System will always be subject to manipulation and the tyranny of the masses, but a world where self-righteousness is the system, injustice runs rampant.
Mom they are doing it again.
>>507742716
>>507742716You're not afraid of words, are you anon?
>>507742179The irony is the party is technically correct in how they handle Johanna. They're not lynching her in the town square, they're bringing her to a higher authority where she can confess and be judged. The only dispute is whether she (and bardon) can be trusted. Meanwhile it seems everyone who has an issue with this part are the ones who want to lynch her.
>Zorba, have you ever sat down and really thought about this story? It’s not a tale of triumph. It’s a tragedy of exploitation and hollow acceptance.>The other reindeer don’t care about Rudolph’s merit. They don’t come around because they’ve learned the error of their ways or because they’ve realised that his differences are worthy in and of themselves. No, they "love" him only when he proves useful.>Before that? He was a pariah. They treated him like a freak for something entirely beyond his control—his nose, his birthright. And even when he saves the day, Zorba, they don’t see him. They see his utility. They don’t embrace Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer; they embrace Rudolph the Red Nose.>His entire existence is still dictated by the circumstances of his birth. His worth is tied to his nose, to the very thing they despised until it suited them to celebrate it. He never escapes the prison of their judgment, Zorba. He just moves from one cell to another.
>>507743826They aren't quite bringing her to a higher authority, but basically speaking yeah. The party doesn't take matters into their own hands here and they don't pass their own judgement aside from "that's fucked up".This is where a lot of stories surrounding personal justice tend to lose steam. While I don't have any problem with how the PTs handled dealing with criminals, it's not really that big of a rebellious act to just make them repentant and turn themselves in to the Justice System and smacking bad guys with a stick until they stop being bad is hardly a new thing.The closest Atlus comes to showing real self-righteousness (the good Quixotic version) is in SMT. And Metaphor's intro
>>507736004Do fujos really like him? He doesn't seem so utterly unhinged obsessed with the twink MC like they prefer.
>>507744784I doubt Louis would actually talk to Zorba this way unless he was pushing Zorba to think or do something specific.>I know the Red Nose's pain all too well when I ... skip-monologue ... and there's absolutely only truth in your words, my liege!And the conversation ends there, because as a person Zorba can only accept Louis' word as gospel to be engraved on his mind and never questioned. Louis would know this and if he wanted a more interesting discussion, would find someone that sees him as less of a god.
>>507744784I wanted to run these through an AI voice thing but then I realized there are basically no clean samples of Metaphor voices on the internet yet.
>>507744784I need louis reading the lyrics to barbie girl.
>>507745757>The singer boldly proclaims to be a "Barbie girl in a Barbie world", but what does this actually mean in practice? What message is this piece attempting to convey?

>>507744784if I had the relevant character images I do it that way, but lacking thatthe story isn't one of triumph, it's gentle reminder that being different can have its advantages even when it seems you're just weird. Which to a degree you get, but you're under the impression that the other reindeer are free from judgement and scrutiny simply because they're not red-nosed and that's the mistake. Nobody in this god-forsaken world is ever free from the judgement of others and while you might see fit to scorn the world for this, most simply view it as it is and embrace it, not as a prison, but as a factor of a society they wish to partake in.

>>507763297As far as dubbed JRPGs go he is probably one of the best. Make of that what you will I guess. I thought he was pretty good although I also played JP my first time.
>>507763328so I guess my options are play until the opera house or skip until the fight at grand trad. neither are great but it's better than nothing. thanks.

>Hatch on the front deck leads to the "Strategy Room">Puts you in a room called Central Corridor>But there's also a separate "Strategy Room" map sequentially right after Central Corridor that is empty and has no collision Maybe they thought having a transition between the hall and the Round Table was too much or just not needed so they just made them into one map

>>507785710So far we know the manga adaptation is dropping on January 21st and they also mentioned an anime is in the works. In the Famitsu interview Hashino said there aren’t any solid plans to make it a series, but he hopes it could happen someday. So, a new game is probably a while off, but DLC might not be too far away.
Junah best girlEupha a shitGallica is nice thoughHulk is meh
>>507787227Maria is best girlEupha is midHulk is midJunah is mid
>>507785710I think the game has been successful enough that we're assured a golden/royal like re-release with extra content. That's the next thing likely to happen game-wise other than a switch port. I guess though it's several years away.
Here is the actual interview with Hashino about a sequel now: https://www.famitsu.com/article/202412/27693The line at the end really sounds more positive and clearer indicating of a sequel than the leaker let on. Plus the example of Sengoku era was more used since the dude he interviews with literally made games related to that. >>507801127Hashino does even admit in the interview that they feel like there are parts they didn't put enough effort in so that sure could be an indicator of a re-release.
>>507745440Can you really imagine him actually talking to The Beatles feat. Junah though
>>507771517I need her heels on my balls
LADY JOONAH!
>>507796806>fideliocute...
>>507802980How would you even design a Sengoku era JRPG that appeals to Western audiences? Feel like the lack of familiarity with Japan's historical context might make it seem too dull or unrelatable for some players.
>>507806224Just do Sekiro but add more tits
>>507806224I guess you could mix it with left over futuristic influences from the old age and magic. I really doubt they would ever do real jrpg like that. Too boring honestly.
>>507802980>Sengoku eraLETS FUCKING GOOO
I really like Masked Dancer's gimmick with masks. It makes Junah feel very versatile and unique. Masked Dancer has her own skills, and she still has uses with inherited skills to give her good skills while guarding her weakness.However, I feel that Summoner is too much. Summoner doesn't learn skills, you can only get them through vessels and vessel materials are 4 times more expensive than mask materials.
>>507808156Catherina did say the neigbouring countries are very different. Maybe Will goes on a diplomatic trip. The royal magic is gone now, human numbers should decline and that is a perfect opportunity for other countries trying to invade.
>>507808185My basic combat loop at endgame for bosses was to use Junah's dance to give every target weakness to fire, then use Eupha's modified dragon god summon to blast it + att/def down. It was pretty effective though not very MP efficient.
>>507809014Debuffing is not very good in this game because every boss will just dispel past 4 stacks.
>>507809002Other countries were donating to activist movements in Euchronia also
>>507809816I agree if you are using a turn just to debuff, but if you can nuke them and debuff at the same time that is useful. Because it is good to leave the enemy debuffed when their turn starts so they waste a turn removing it.
>>507810187Oh I didn't know that, do you mean the npcs that take money from you and rally for equality?
>MC as a Prince>Junah as a Gunner>Basilio as a Samurai>Heismay as a WarriorThis is the line up used in speedrunning and in the current WR run. Say something nice about them
>>507810338I liked they tried to balance buffs and debuffs and every fight is just not spam tank with max buff and debilitate spam by giving bosses easy access to dispel and being more aoe centric but I think they went too much on the other side
>>507810449Won't watch until they do wife% run with eupha
>>507810391The one in grad Trad tells you there are foreign donors if you spend time with her twice
>>507810642Eupha is too useless and unnecessary to be included in speedruns. Get fucked
>>507810449This must be extraordinarily useful early game
>>507573064Simplest answer, yes. Still not specific answer but leaning into spoiler territory, meritocracy (and by extension, liberalism as you mention) is not a good solution for racial discrimination and will instead always lead to discrimination in society from other causes, such as wealth disparity or the belief that might trumps all. The story is still very much about racism but the issues it tackles goes deeper than that.
>>507630512EN is way better, they got loads of different accents and most of the cast are theatre actors. JP is just standard anime fare.
>>507814198I can't stand English accents
>>507641795>I guess at least Edeni was supposed to be a follower.I've read that there were a bunch of planned followers that were cut, the only ones I know of are Batlin and Edeni though. Who else was there?
>>507655118Marrying Eupha will foster a strong alliance with Eht Ria. Their kids would look like Zorba though.
>>507655118Junah.
>>507814568>Who else was there?Maybe Eugief engineer girl?
>>507814932Extremely sexy?
>>507816713No, like a DISGUSTING MONGREL but they would very likely have both the mustari eye and the clemar horn just like Zorba
>>507814932Elda dominant traits, no eyes or horns.
>>507817025No eyes?!
>>507814568Fabianne, I think seemingly Fidelio also.There should've been at least 1 new follower per town
Which tribes were random mutations and which were actually bioengineered?Roussainte and Rhoag were 100% made in a lab, the physical advantages are just too strong.Ishkia must be a random mutation, the wings are just decoration, Clemari too.Paripus and Mustari could been either way. Eugief and Nidia are weird case since their body type is so different. Are they even human?
Why couldn't Louis just do this to the King?
>>507819217Apparently all the tribes names are insults in japanese.
Junah is canonically Will's queen.Eupha is their token minority friend.

>>507819363He was an old man by the time Louis looked like that and he never knew about the Akademia. Else this would have fixed all issues. The king needed a good dicking to get over his sorrow and Louis needs to vent his trauma.

You are now noticing that the shawl More wears over his shoulders is cut in the same pattern as the Seeker's cape
>>507826052Yeah but Louis was a shota or at most a small childish-looking teen.
>>507835728Sounds very dangerous because Hulkenberg can bite off the source.
bros, why is the top of the map so empty?...
LINA NOOOOOO why did you agree with my argument
Why is Will so pathetically little. He looks like he needs to be handed a juice box not a crown.
