just finished it and it's definitely filler, very fun filler, but filler nonetheless
it literally ends with you exiting the academy still in Masami's body
even so I really liked the new characters and even if the author said the Masami romance is not happening, it definitely feels like he's trying to justify it actually she only looked like a child because her magic blood made her age slower and now that you've possessed her she starts aging rapidly and your body starts to de-age
also the shit about theyellow eyed demons waiting to destroy the world makes me feel like the final book may be either long as hell or split in two

there's also a scene where a busty underaged blind miku is put in shibari while you take her hostage and she enjoys it , also the ronin straight up says that you and junko fucked while you were kids, and you threaten junko with replacing her with masami when she accept that she belongs in hell

There are other standout ones like Parliament of Knives and even Hoboslop is of relatively decent quality. I was promised more premises and more opportunities for decent writers to make me WoDslop and WoDslop I demand. Also I saw that the Hollywood one lets you fuck the werewolf again, so that's a plus.

she is though. she's selfish. she does what she wants for herself. that's textbook villain. just because she's nice to the player doesn't mean she's a good person. and just because she's not a good person doesn't mean you can't like her.

Its funny that what you see as selfishness I see as self determination, it was planned for ranni to be the next puppet of the greater will, entirely out of her control. She murdered her half brother just to escape that fate, i can't really blame her when i would have done something similarly drastic if my choices where that or being dragged from my current life to be the next fucking marika
>>
>>3995048
>Its funny that what you see as selfishness I see as self determination
because it is one and the same. in the end, it's all about ego. but look at her from a wider perspective. her actions have brought upon so much suffering. is it all her fault? definitely not. did she know all of that would happen? of course not. but those things still happened. and she did all that for herself. not for the betterment of others. solely for herself. from a traditional point of view, she is evil. she doesn't even seem particularly guilty about it either. she's the complete opposite of the goody two shoes hero who sacrifices himself for The Greater Good^TM. you can see what I mean right?


aside from that, I think you're empathizing with her too much. you see her actions as good because you yourself would've done so. which is not a bad thing, but it does bias your perception.

Yeah thats entirely fair, i know i've got personal bias for individualism and i could easily romantacize her but i understand how she could be viewed as a villian and how warrented it is, for me shes one of the contenders of least bad because frenzy flame exists as an allyable faction and are far more classic "destroy the world lmao" evil and i don't trust the golden order and the stagnation the've caused.

yes, but that's not the whole story. she did things for herself and others had to pay the price. it's not like that was her only option. she could've plotted to assassinate Marika instead. or maybe killed off all the fingers. she could've collaborated with the other Empyreans. Malenia strikes me as the kind of person who would sacrifice herself for Miquella. they could've done the thing they did to Godwin on her in exchange for Radhan protecting Miquella or something, to remove all Empyreans and guaranteeing Miquella's ascension. or some other thing I'm not smart even to figure out. they've got magick, there could be other answers.

>>3995073
>A man’s virtues are called good depending on their probable consequences not for him but for us and society: the praise of virtues has always been far from “selfless,” far from “unegoistic.” Otherwise one would have had to notice that virtues (like industriousness, obedience, chastity, filial piety, and justice) are usually harmful for those who possess them, being instincts that dominate them too violently and covetously and resist the efforts of reason to keep them in balance with their other instincts. When you have a virtue, a real, whole virtue (and not merely a mini-instinct for some virtue), you are its victim. But your neighbor praises your virtue precisely on that account. One praises the industrious even though they harm their eyesight or the spontaneity and freshness of their spirit. One honors and feels sorry for the youth who has worked himself into the ground because one thinks: “For society as a whole the loss of even the best individual is merely a small sacrifice. Too bad that such sacrifices are needed! But it would be far worse if the individual would think otherwise and considered his preservation and development more important than his work in the service of society.” Thus one feels sorry for the youth not for his own sake but because a devoted instrument, ruthless against itself—a so-called “good man”—has been lost to society by his death.

I think we're talking about different things here. if you read the quote above, you'd understand that what is good for the individual is usually bad for society. when people talk about "good" and "evil" they're usually talking about societal good, not individual good. I actually agree with you lmao

>>3996197
why is your first option to kill baby hitler? whatever happened to second chances? since you can kill hitler, than means you can change the past. is it not "good" to aim for the most favorable outcome?

with that said, let's try a different angle. what if killing baby hitler results in you not existing? like someone else more competent could've lead to germany winning and thus completely altering the course of history. or maybe a completely different war happens that results in even more deaths? does that not make their deaths your fault? what gives you the right to play god? your biased understanding of justice and virtue?

Beyond that, not really. Most writers are writing. Samurai of Hyuga 6 came out but it was a 300k word filler episode. I don't know why these full time writings are taking 2-3 years to write what is basically 1-2 updates and call it a book. If you're fulltime you should have 1m words in 2 years easily, that's 2k words per day with weekends off. They should be hitting double that if they're fulltime, easily.

Huh. Well, see you guys again in about a month
>>
>>3996200
because i can.
i agree with the other guy who said doing stuff for my own benefit is le good. good and evil and primitive concepts anyway. the words themselves are subject to corruption and the forces of chaos. therefore you cannot have good or evil without order. so in making a decision or even question whether something is good/bad, you already side with order. but the universe is chaos. constant chaos, therefore anything that has a decision and outcome is already a favourable outcome if you side with order.

how is killing hitler the "order" option when it's literally the option with an unknown outcome?

Ice from what I've found
>>
>>3998852
No idea, honestly. I always play with the exact same build. I change the order of some stuff to "optimize" but the build is the same - human, aoyusumu, water + storm. I'm probably going to also go with Flayed as my foundation.
>>
>>3998852
Shadow is a pretty good auto solution for fights and trials. More so than light for Chapter 8 and beyond, really.

Water and earth are also safe picks for many solutions and good techniques (plus free advancements)
>>
>>3998852
I wouldn't discredit it completely. It comes with a very useful melee ability and the passive ability that absorbs aura from fights can be stacked with others, leading to a not so small gain on the long term.
>>
>>3998854
>>3998855
Yeah, I was thinking of Water + Storm myself, but I think I'll sub out water for Ice. Maybe make a frost aryan with white hair.
>>
>>3998859
Midnight Blade is really good but I was thinking more of unique choices rather than extra numbers in melee combat/power gaming.
>>
>>3998852
I've double-checked the code. It's Ice>Earth>Darkness
>>
>>3998862
Shadow is one of the three elements that gives clone access (or mist clones if you are monkey), and works for various teleport like solutions in general.
The fact that you can get it for free is also a bonus(as in, not from the temple or with memorywell). And it has AP absorption techniques.

Generally, ice from yin and light from yang are the ones that I rank lowest., but they still have some good techniques and solutions.

Aoyusumu light and shadow balanceman is pretty interesting
>>
>>3998866
Does this count the various [Element event[ that give extra prowess?
Granted, a few of them are actually automatic successes hidden behind choices you would not know use the element (after so many runs, I just discovered that blasting Daichi while having storm has a unique scene)

If you aren't assembling both elemental crests, I'd go as far as to say that any accessory is better because elemental rank really isn't that big of a deal at all. Doubly true for Kiihakai, since they can't bomb a sectmaster in ch9 for a free crest and a black belt.
An additional skill level that you can switch in and out is increasingly useful as the game starts throwing at you common 4 and 5 skill rank requirements.
>>
>>4000840
While there are a few adept locked choices (plus extra damage events or bypassing the stat check), the core bonuses on top of that with proper synergy is what make me pick it every time.
With just a single one, you are probably correct that you might as well settle for everything else

1,3 and 4 are pointless, as cool as it is to blow up the fish.

If you have Iron body technique and get the Crests in teh standard way, plus goldtrheaded belt from Lightbringer, uysing it on jack is optimal (unless you are monkey).
Otherwise, you can plan around getting the crest and belt from Stallion trial and try to get different rewards on the way there (like maybe crafting the Jian and getting the no penalty weighted clothes)

I picked up robinson crusoe to read, i think one of my inspirations is this old pre rendered adventure game i vividly remember playing as a kid of a dude that was captured by pirates escaping and wounding up on a deserted island. My idea for a first chapter would be having a handful of backgrounds that all ended up on a mercantile cum transport vessel either working as a deckhand, a passanger or a stowaway in a vaguely 17th century setting having a chance to meet and interact with some of the characters before things go sideways. Right now i'm drawing up a rough outline of the structure and list of what to research, like learning some real life nautical knowledge for the deckhand background and the boat itself

It probably won't have as much of an element of romance because i am not all that confident in my ability to write a good romance much less erotic scenes, it would probably be something like infinity where romance is there but largely takes the backseat to the historic warfare and calvary autism but with pirates and that era of swashbuckling adveture. I'll try my hand at it but i'm more confident creating the other aspects is what i'm saying, at least at this point, when i have a better understanding of the characters i want, their dynamics and relationship to the player character i'll feel more confident in breaching the subject.

your kingdom has a reputation for being warmongers so your peace loving vassal assassinates your entire family during a meeting where you were going to sign a peace treaty
half of the kingdom's army sides with him and the other half doubts your ability to succeed to the throne and tries to supplant you
basically the standard medieval fantasy cyoa where you suffer humiliation rituals after humiliation rituals until you get to finally kill the """sympathetic""" antagonist

If I didn't have a deep hatred of programming as a principle, I'd write a game about being an actual fucking medieval king that gets treated like a monarch instead of a random commoner.
>>
>>4003458
You know what sends me flying? That monarchs always had to weigh court factions against one another, deal with unruly vassals and be careful not to have one estate in the realm dominate the other ones, so it was never smooth sailing, but these hacks don't understand that. They write from the place of "monarchy bad, no more kings" and have the kings be treated as unpopular middle managers in a corpo. Fucking cretins. No wonder that Wang is their golden boy, in a country of witless, a halfwit would rule.
>>
>>4003462
It's obvious that none of the people writing about the middle ages have read anything about the middle ages.

And that includes the good ones too - ITFO is generally regarded as one of the better nobleslop games, right? But the writer clearly doesn't know much about actual medieval warfare.

Like, for example, he treats organizing your troops into legions as this ancient forgotten secret that makes them ultradupergreat, but that's completely fucking retarded. Roman legions were obsolete by the time rome fell, much less a thousand years later. Does he think that people just stopped understanding warfare?
>>
>>4003464
>Does he think that people just stopped understanding warfare?
It's them not understanding warfare and instead of learning anything about it simply taking what they know and treating it as expert knowledge when in reality it's very basic and should be extremely common
That and logistics has been reddit's favorite buzzword for like a decade now. No longer is the most retarded fantasy question a "what about their tax policy?", it's now "what about the logistics". And no, they don't understand logistics either beyond knowing it's a thing that happens during war and whoever has bigger number of logistics wins the war
>>
>>4003474
In all fairness, to accurately portray pre-industrial military logistics with any degree of accuracy beyond "Fight during harvest season and forage shit" would be downright impossible in a simplistic text game.

Trust me, I made a whole fucking excel spreadsheet to calculate daily consumption of food and fodder in kilograms for my 4chinz military fanfic nonsense and it doesn't even scratch the surface of reality.
>>
>>4003474
Admittedly, logistics is the more important part of warfare but as you said, they know nothing of it. Ask them a question about how they are going to make sure the army has water at every point of the war and they will not be able to give you a correct answer.
>>
In medieval wars logistics only meant rampaging through the countryside taking everything you could while looting and burning and murdering and raping and maiming and so on.

I can see why you guys enjoy power fantasies, you literally need your hands held for you and have the obvious spelled out.
Your mother literally implies that the peace treaty was only temporary, as they were dealing with another hostile country in the South. After they had dealt with the barbarians in the south the north was next again.
Stanislas was unironically correct to kill the parents, they were bloodthirsty retards. His only mistake was in trying to kill the MC who might’ve been sympathetic to his peace ideals and not install them to the throne as a puppet

Because she is not against the system, she just wants to participate in it on better terms, which is very understandable. She knows that the commons need to live under the nobles' boot.

Wang can't write love because he's trying to make a war/political anthology first and foremost and relationships don't work in a quaterly timeframe like welles taking 2 fucking years to give a shakey "i would if i could" is funny but also highlights how second thought progressing relationships actually are, remember that the dragoon is an autist that has to dedicate a whole couple of months visiting one contact/friend and otherwise ignoring them completely instead of structuring his weekly schedule where he can spend time with them on the weekends or something like an actual person would

Despite being advertised as the conclusion, it apparently goes nowhere and ends on a cliffhanger and tease for a third game.

Anyone have some underrated CYOA games that they would recommend?

For ChoiceScript stuff, I tried Silverworld, Mask of the Plague Doctor, and Bootlegger. Silverworld was actually very good, which I wasn’t expecting as most of Kyle Marquis’s stuff outside of WoD titles have middling reviews, and I’d say it’s in the top quarter of CS titles out there. What I expected going into Plague Doctor was a grimdark fantasy story, but instead it had much dark humor and leaned into the Orks gameplay style of getting you to a “main hub” chapter then letting you pick which faction storyline you want to experience for the rest of the game. Pretty good game, but like every other Choice game it for some reason veers into you needing to decide on the fate of a monarchy as a random nobody which soured the end of it a bit for me.

The true standout title for me though was Bootlegger, as it had exceeded in quality for pretty much every metric I have going into these games. The story was long without being bloated, and the different choices you can make color how the game goes without branching off into numerous, shallow divergences. There’s a lot of focus on building your character from their background to how you personally apply your skill choices, so a player can focus on persuasion but then specify if you’re a huckster or a genuine advocate. Bootlegger felt like a long picaresque adventure and one of the few games in its genre I wanted to keep going rather than looking for an off-ramp. The only downsides for it were the characters which have relationship stats are a little thin and by the end some become caricatures of themselves, and the game has a pretty abrupt ending which feels like the writer wanted to avoid addressing all the choice and consequences of Prohibition ending in a game that was all about bootlegging.
>>
>>4004812
On the less obscure side, I also tried out the latest couple of Hunter the Reckoning games. Wang’s Hunter game genuinely wasn’t as bad as I expected with the reception I saw it got as well as his own post-Morten on it. I enjoyed the characters and thought they were written well, outside of the female activist of the main group who felt pretty one-dimensional and now I can’t even remember her name. It’s a very low-stakes game, but it makes the struggle feel a lot more rewarding and I got more investment having to work my ass off to beat some upstart Thinbloods and a middle manager Camarilla member with some road flares, a pistol, and wits as opposed to the game Out for Blood that gave you a very literal automatic shotgun with white phosphorous to take on anything you wanted. It’s not a great game by any means though, and it comes off as a job for the paycheck rather than a project there was genuine interest in.

The other game I played, Beast of Glenkildove, started out well with a long introduction to all the characters who had good motivations and solid backgrounds, but it really devolves once you get into the present day sections and then the actual hunting. All the great characters of the opening become cardboard cut-out archetypes like the finance bro, the mystic, the punk rock chick, etc. and the game has such bad pacing it’s impossible to spend any time learning more about them unless you commit all of your very precious and rare free time blocks to hanging out with them instead of prepping. There’s 15 different subplot going on and you have enough time to complete 1 if you’re focused. I would go as far to say that most of the critiques leveled at Wang with his Hunter game apply for this game equally if not more so. After all this I need to try the Werewolf game for a mostly good experience, at least from what I’ve heard.
>>
>>4003474
>>4003478
>>4003480

It’s a large scope to cover for very little returns unless you’re doing a game about a war that spans years and years. At most a couple people will appreciate the explanation on how a route for supply deliveries is made and maintained. The middle ground that Choice of Rebels and ITFO (to a smaller extent) go for in giving you options for foraging as well pillaging with mentions of the drawbacks that has long-term works IMO. Long-term warfare is inherently boring from an audience perspective: they want to hear a war ended from a decisive battle not because of granary depletions.

I’ll have to check it out, I avoided it at release after being burned on Heroes Rise, but good to hear it’s mostly a quality game. Thanks for the recommendation.
>>4004918
Thank you for the suggestions: I tried Belle-de-nuit and it had some good sparks but like most of the Heart’s Choice games I come away feeling it would be better if it focused more on the plot and less on the porn side of things. Moreytown I had never heard of, but it looks similar to Blacksad which is interesting.
>>4004932
I still consider Slammed one or the best games put out for Choice games. For how good it is, it and Tin Star are almost never recommended.
>>
>>4004812
right sorry, I was going to reply to you but the idea of a bingo came to me and I got sidetracked lmao

I don't think I ever finished SIlverworld and I can't remember why. prolly played it before I discovered save slot mods and dropped it cuz of a wrong choice or something. I remember liking the bot and the bee

Plague was good until I got the ending where the doctor waifu got mad at me for not siding with the royal society and broke up with me. like not even a relationship check wtf? I had 90+ dammit

Bootlegger was really buggy for me. like it kept showing me results that didn't match my choices/stats. did you encounter any bugs on your end?

imo the problem for most CoG games are that they start good but the endings usually suck (see Unsupervised for a recent example). the ones with good endings are the railroady ones. personally, I prefer a good ending (quality wise) over a good intro or mid stage. so for reccs, that completely depends on what you want in a story. you've already played Slammed and Tin Star, which are my usual reccs. have you tried Turandot? it's got great atmosphere, but basically no story deviations. it doesn't even have stats. I remember liking The Fog Knows Your Name but can't remember why. Kitsune is really good assuming you don't get filtered by the generic intro and you actually pursue the Kitsune RO. or maybe Specters of the Deep

I’ve never heard of I, Cyborg but taking a look at the store page it looks interesting and has very solid reviews. Thanks for recommending it!

Yeah, the robot lady and the bee woman are the highlights of Silverworld, I like when Kyle Marquis does oddball love interests in general it’s where his writing shines. I had the exact same experience with the breakup in Plague; I really didn’t like how railroaded the royal conflict was and it did spoil it for me a bit. For Bootlegger I didn’t have any glitches like that. I played it around January so I assume it was patched out, unless you played it sooner.

I haven’t tried Turandot, I’ll have to take a look as usually I don’t like if there’s not deviations, but if it’s good writing quality that can be an exception. I agree about the endings of COG games usually being the weakest part, and in most cases the games that are the most memorable for me nail the ending even if they don’t exceed in anything else.
>>

I liked the antagonist more than the robot, but her romance was hard to get due to only having a couple of interactions throughout the game. I think you have to pick all the correct options to succeed, otherwise she ends up with the stone monk

>>4005423
I see. I guess I should try out Bootlegger again. I did like the premise

etymology wise, how do you know when naming a character a name if its too on the nose? ideally i want my character's names to reflect part of their personality or role or the overall theme of the work without being so overt as to be disruptive?
>>
>>4005995
>etymology wise, how do you know when naming a character a name if its too on the nose?
When its “Vile Shlomo”
>>
>>4005995
that's the writer's job. he's supposed to give you samples of names that fit the setting. then you can either choose one of them or come up with something that matches
>>
>>4005997
Fortinbras (“Strong Arms”) from Hamlet was pretty good too
>>
>>4006005
i'm talking about for writing a cyoa
>>
>>4006007
ah thought you meant as a player lmao.

that depends on what kinda setting you want. you can use thematic names, but that tends to disrupt suspension of disbelief for a bit. that works fine for shounen or other semi comedic settings but if you're gonna write a gritty WWII story, you can't name someone Major Major unless it's for a one off joke that the characters acknowledge in story

for serious settings, what I usually do is come up with names that I think the character's parents would name them. a proud family begets a proud name. a sickly child is given a name that invokes life. lazy parents give a lazy name. stuff like that
>>
>>4006016
thanks for the advice anon, i appreciate it. I'm playing around with a heavily megami tesnei inspired story, on one hand i'd like to connect the characters to some sort of theology and mythology, but i don't want them to be completely tied to those either. i like the name Penelope, which is connected to the Odysseus myth. i don't know how in line with the penelope of my story will end up with the penelope in myth, but i would like to incorporate one or two aspects of her namesake within her character, and for a majority of instances she would be referred to as "penny" and not her full name, which makes me think of coinage, maybe she could have a mercantile background?
>>
>>4006022
ah, smt. yeah definitely go for mythological names and derivatives like your Penny example.

you don't have to match the actual character 1:1. just a few traits and the same role in the story works. Penelope is the archetypal "faithful wife". I don't remember much about her aside from her having a lot of suitors and the whole weaving thing. Maybe she can be a love interest? Maybe a spunky tomboy childhood friend merchant like Tressa from Octopath? She can even use her name as a slogan for something. Or maybe a flower in a mountain peak unattainable beauty type to reference the whole suitor thing?

What's the age range you're going for? SMT usually has teens but you mentioned a mercantile background so I'm getting the impression that she's working age.
>>
>>4006025
i was thinking that the protagonist and most of the main characters would be graduating seniors so around 18 or becoming 18 soon and having the impending future of becoming an adult and entering that world. with a few such as the protagonist's neighborhood friend underclassman who is just one big nakajima/hazama reference,the school stuff would mostly be a background other than a chapter or arc of Dionysus or a similar figure starts influencing the student body who become more and more uninhibited and lose, something that at first could be chalked up to midterms or final week stress that would get more intense as students forgo studying or observing school rules for partying and indulging in vices. straight honor students suddenly askewing their perfect attendance records,pandemonium in the cafeteria! and it would be the protagonist's and supporting cast's job to sniff out the real cause of it all and deal with it. but that would be the highest point of relevance the school would have. penny i was thinking of being a classmate who through circumstances ends up being your main devil busting partner and someone you could bounce on that doesn't have a large alignment bias, of the characters she would be the one most concerned about the individuals behind the beliefs and keeping the party all on the same side and not schisming due to differing philosophies
>>
>>4006033
back.

imo, that sounds more like Persona than SMT. Or at least it doesn't sound apocalyptic and it's more like shadows going berserk. The whole becoming adults thing is psychological instead of ideological too.

so I Penny gonna be the Neutral rep? or more like a die hard friend that'll follow you anywhere like Atsuro in Devil Survivors?

personality wise, you can make her be famous. maybe she's pretty. or maybe she's just friendly and approachable. another possible angle is handicrafts, as a nod to the whole weaving thing. or just have her be really loyal and always on the player's side, tho that might be bad for a cyoa

Anon, setting aside the frantic porting of the game to a whole new engine, chapter 9 took you 3 months to write.

Quality over quantity is difficult to properly assess because sometimes a work with quality, like Planescape, or Disco, comes with a lot of quantity either on purpose to go for a certain vibe (Disco) or because there's a lot of information the player needs to properly engage with the setting.

Lords of infinity idealistist dragoon going royalist and turning a blind eye to all the glaring redflags like the purges and dismantling any means of future opposition to the throne. Isobel is going to be a massive iron fist dictator but its okay because she's a woman and that makes her a girlboss. i still sided with royalists because they seemed like the better choice for protecting my dragoon's sorry hide when war became inevitable, and he gets to be a mopey asshole who constantly laments about how his life sucks
>>
>>4010425
Wulframite is just the better option storywise. Honestly amazing how well Wang managed to make them. It's a shame we'll probably never get Wars, because getting to play the "traitor" who is basically fighting all of his former friends would be kino.
>>
>>4010425
My dragoon is a merciful cynic who sided with wulfrim but thinks this is a lost cause
>>
>>4010428
Wulfram just kind of struck me as a bit of a somewhat sleazy politican/city boy that doesn't know what its really like to be a soldier, that and he wanted to block the military reform which would be desperately needed if they don't want to repeat antar. Speaking to him more changed my position a bit to see him as a stubborn idealist with his heart in the right place, but also kind of twofaced with the underhanded political manuvers he (and isobel) make. I didn't like royalists either and for my first playthrough stayed with cunaris and tried to keep the peace before tradgedy struck and broke cunaris's spirit, and my dragoon got roped into working for the royalists. I don't like isobel but i do like interacting with garrett, welles, and caz. There is room to be a royalist and just constantly be a dick to isobel and internally think about how fucked up this all is while ascending to being the head of the military which i like, theres a great option if you get the offer from isobel to approve a marriage between the dragoon and welles if the dragoon has high cynic/mercy where he internally laments that his matrimony would set a dangerous precident of the crown going over the cortes
>>
>>4010438
>that and he wanted to block the military reform which would be desperately needed if they don't want to repeat antar
The military reform is important, but let's be honest here, Tierra couldn't wage a war for shit. They can't even feed themselves. If someone like Takara or Kian tried to invade them they wouldn't even need to touch the soil, just block the food shipments and watch them starve.
>>
>>4010439
Tierra could be named Pariah Among the Nations at any point and implode. It's a failed state, your barony is a meme and you would probably have better prospects if you fucked off to that continent that's having a civil war and carve a piece for yourself as a mercenary. I would even take my beloved Antari serfs as the new and better settlers.
>>
>>4010446
I'll give one thing to the loyalists; I don't see Tierra becoming a relevant nation unless a competent absolute ruler takes it by the reins and organizes everything into a good shape. If our barony is anything to go by, most tierran land that is even arable is completely wasted on inefficient management.

Ultimately, though, that doesn't change the fact that Isobel is a bitch-ass motherfucker who only cares about exerting absolute control.
>>
>>4010454
The only future Tierra could have would be if the Tierrans were banished and the superior Antari took their place. They would turn the place into a breadbasket of the world.

And way better action. The only extraordinary thing you can do in the royalist final chapter is screwing up so bad the militias beat back the grenadiers.

Wulframite Battle is absolute kino. The final charge, being pulled out at the last second by Castermaine...absolute pottery.
>>
>>4010509
>The only extraordinary thing you can do in the royalist final chapter is screwing up so bad the militias beat back the grenadiers.
Or alternatively, win so severely that Wulfram is left with nothing but his personal guard.
Meanwhile Wulframite side plays and wins itself.
>>
>>4010509
You can sabatage with garrett and get one of the navy boats to flip
>>
>>4010545
The whole thing is a victory lap after the edgelord wins the battle and then you even get Deus ex machina magic cannon instead of having to fight. Maybe it's mechanically harder to achieve but, to me, it didn't feel significant at all.

>>4010746
>The whole thing is a victory lap after the edgelord wins the battle
Only if your goal is survival.
If you do not bend over backwards and twist yourself into a pretzel several times over then Wulfram, much like on wulframite path, gets away with almost all of his forces with royalist side crippled. Same logic is extended to two paths as a whole.
On Wulframite side, you can twiddle your thumbs or even fuck off to the estate and almost all faction goals will be accomplish without your input while the battle itself will default to about 2/3rds of the army pulled out.
On the other side of the coin, you are literally carrying the royalist cause on your back and every little decision has compounding effects on how much better the odds are in your factions favor. Cazarosta may have stolen your thunder in the opening minutes, but he's only there to prevent the complete collapse of the faction and Wulfram winning on the spot, everything after that is purely your effort.
Basically, the royalist battle is the boring, by the book, decided by preparation victory Castermaine wanted to accomplish while wulframite battle is encapsulated in the charge: flashy, heroic, pointless and unnecessary bloodletting and managing to hammer out a ceasefire that lets you pull literally everyone out is objectively the cooler Wulframite side ending

"And you're completely lacking in looks, flatface." You counter.

Sakura gasps. "You have some nerve to talk about looks!"

"Oh please." You laugh. "I'm a jade beauty sought after despite growing up poor. You're a ceramic mug //avoided// despite growing up rich."

"Outer West's beauty standards are simply behind the times!" She insists. "In Outer East I am the shining jewel-"

"-of marrying out of poverty." You interrupt. "Name ''one'' prominent Trialgoer who has given you the time of day. Goro has his own money. Brass Tiger has the Northern Army's resources. Jack assumes the world belongs to him. None of them need your money, so none of them even //talk// do you, do they? Because they certainly chat with me any chance they get."

Playing Arcadia Fallen II and watching latest episode of Iruma (and looking back on the series), really reminded me how persistent of an issue it is that in magic academy settings characters barely go to any classes and do very little actual magical schooling.
