Puddi already took mah favorite D:

Reason? Well, she's not Superman, that's for sure. And not Batman, or Spiderman, or Aquaman, or a merman, or a wolfman. She's not a brahman, or common, or ramen. She's not a caiman either, so I guess I shouldn't really need to worry about anything.

Yeah Cola.

Be Eric.

Since someone has to be him.

Perfect.

Waking up to the shipping alert email sure was a wonderful feeling. This is the exact reason I paid for a year of Prime. Worth it. :')

Yes.

I don't care.

Maybe.

I was mulling over making the same joke. X3 Got a chuckle out of me.


Thinking I might do a little write up later. Just first impression sort of thing. Even if I don't do that, I'm sitting on the side of curious right now and I'm not insanely far in.

ETA: Having my coffee so let's do this. No spoilers, won't talk about ideas running through my head right now cause there's a million. That's right, true to ZE fashion, my brain always starts working sooner than it should.

It's kind of amusing having two games worth of data in my head. When I started VLR, there were just 999 variables skipping around and now come the third, there's a ton of possibilities skipping around my head making noises even without provocation. It's enjoyable really because few games make me feel like ZE does.

The prologue was lengthier than I was expecting and the fragment mechanics put me at odds in that I will have to decide if I'm going to try and stick to one "route" at a time or hop around a bit.

The choice to control three groups does the same thing really, because I know me and where my heart in this series lie so the obvious bias to control team C is there strong and I have to nudge myself to do both Q and D as well. Not a bad thing, mind you. The other two teams have their potential as well, I'm just starving for that special kind of heartbreak a certain OTP can give me. Could dip down into not really spoiler things here but I won't until I make more progress.

Giving us dual audio was very nice too. I might try the Japanese audio on a second go. The English cast isn't bad, it's just going to take some warming up to for everyone that isn't Jumpy, Phi or Sigma.

ETA x2: I'm sneaking something into spoilers. It's not super deep but.

When your copy comes in, I'm very much looking forward to discussing things with you. As I said in texts, I'm debating if I will do what I did with 999 and only play it at night, but we'll see how much self restraint actually sticks with me. >.>

I won't be able to get the game till Monday. I'm going crazy with anticipation.

Hah.

I'm liking Tenmyouji's English voice here. As much as I love J.B. Blanc for being Dojima and basically being awesome, his Japanese counterpart in VLR was generally better. But here, I'm digging the English voice. Phi, Diana and Sigma are preferrable in Japanese though. I'm used to Japanese Phi and prefer Strassman's voice for Aigis in Persona 3. Sigma was never voiced in the last game, but in the OVA he was Troy Baker so it makes sense that this time he's Matt Mercer.
