How so? Is it something related to Vengeance?

>>4058
Even in the base game they're soulmates

Well that and Kushinada says the young man is romantically in love with Aogami like she was with her own a long time ago in a side quest. According to the nip version it's specified that it's mutual love not just one sided also.

Any fujos play outlast trials? I just want to see easterman get raped, but I don’t ship him with anyone, Trager/Miles is my otp though. I hate how many tifs are in community, at least on ao3, but I never encountered one in Trials.

>>4094
Replying to myself, I’m glad they went for the more claustrophobic feel like 1 and Whistleblower, but sometimes the maps get big, which I don’t like. It’s one of the main reasons i disliked Outlast 2 compared to the others, although i don’t hate it as much as others do.

Sullivan's gaydar went off kekkkk

his face was so priceless after that, kek

Ciel when he snaps out of his trauma and realizes Sebastian had been cheating on him with Sullivan.

Yasuhiko men have no ass but the legs are immaculate. Just honest skill making that 1979 animation so sexy.
Not that it's unusual for old school superheroes and sentais to wear tights or anything but the red makes it extra good.

It's not but he's still the only one in Zeon I remember wearing leggings. It's not like he's in a scifi organization where they're common. Even Kycilia wears normal pants but no this guy went for red leggings for his custom Zeon uniform, of all things. What a slut.

What if the plot twist is that Char's soul is weighed down by gravity? Hence the red Gundam must go to Earth…

White hair ukes are pretty rare yeah, only one that really comes to mind is the guy from no. 6

Just ordered physical copies of this and Rain Code on switch, pretty hyped.

>>4090
I liked the last chapter and Makoto (he’s cute!) but Rain code pretty mid otherwise it looks nice though
Shinigami gets old incredibly fast, she’s basically a less funny Monokuma but she never ever leaves you alone and it’s probably the most waifubaity of Kodaka’s games since Yuma’s pretty much a harem protagonist.

>Taka was mercy killed, I just wish it wasn't so unceremonious.
I liked Taka a lot, so it kind of sucked to just kill him like that, especially when they JUST introduced this entirely new element to his character. It was so out-of-nowhere. I almost wonder if him being killed during his fit of depression and leaving out the whole Ishida/Kiyondo thing would've worked better.
>I think some of the survivors are boring compared to the killers/victims
For me, the worst offender of this was V3, but every game has its duds. I think the first game felt the most like "anyone could die," as I got really good at guessing the order to do FTEs in the later titles. I wasn't mad that anyone survived in 1, so I can't complain. I do think Hiro was the weakest of the survivors, but honestly, if he'd been given a little more of a character arc, I don't think people would hate him as much. He's not really a character I think about at all.
>I can't believe I used to like Byakuya though, bitch just exists to sow conflict
Actually, that's exactly why I like him. He spent the so much of the game being useless in such an entertaining way. When he crucified the corpse in Chapter 2, I lost my shit because it made absolutely no sense. I know he explained his reasoning, but it still was so stupid that it wrapped around to being funny. I think, because of how absurd the story is, a lot of the shit-stirrers and unlikable characters don't bother me. It helps that his FTEs were funny, too.

The only one of the three characters purposefully put in to derail your trials that I enjoy is Kokichi and even then I didn't like him at all until the case with Gonta. Also Byakuya unlike Komaeda and Kokichi never really gets a BIG moment and I think that's part of the reason I find him annoying. Like that chapter 2 example is a big one, we have to spend 20 minutes arguing about shit that doesn't get us any closer to the killer because of him! In the end he feels like someone we deal with for ages with no real payoff or character growth. Again though I like him in post THH works as a member of the Future Foundation and I think that fits his stuck up personality well, as long as his attitude isn't making us deal with pointless shit I don't mind it in doses.

>For me, the worst offender of this was V3
Honestly so few people make it I have to agree, but I do like Maki

>First Spoiler
Agree Taka is my favorite male character in the first game and it's so weird to me that they just kill him off like that. They don't even try to resolve his grief or hang up about the betrayal, or explore the Ishida stuff which only appears in two scenes. I think if they had even tried to establish that Celeste picked him to be killed because he was an easy target the abruptness of his death wouldn't have bothered me. He feels randomly selected and the other characters don't even seem to react outside of the whole "Oh no a body!" It's just a weird segment even though I like the case overall.

>>4078
Same, I couldn't stand Byakuya when I first touched the game during the somethingawful days but then years after I actually played the translated game I ended up loving him kek

>>4054
I think they definitely retconned dwarves. I’m sure they would’ve used a male elf character for the cameo instead had there been one in 4. I don’t think they even needed to suggest that 5 is meant to be set way farther in the future from 4 (in the Japanese text that I’m pretty sure was patched out at some point). Maybe they just wanted a fresh start? Also I don’t think that much time actually passed between 1 and 2. Raguna left Kardia pretty soon after he arrived which for young Cecilia would probably have felt like it had been forever ago. Also Ethelberd is a normal human and still alive by 4. And I know it’s not really canon but a slightly older Candy meets Frey in the rune factory 4 manga which was approved by the creator. I know it’s just fanservice, but back then it seemed like Neverland was a stickler for keeping the timeline proper. Although I’m pretty sure it’s been established that half-elves definitely have a shorter lifespan than the full ones but longer than regular humans, I don’t think Cecilia is that old in 2. Also if half-elves had a significantly longer lifespan than humans and full-elves were even longer, I’m sure the potential half-Earthmates, half-elf children all the mc’s can have would’ve been mentioned at some point as a flavor text at least. Then again, maybe being an Earthmates cancels out elfyness seeing as Orland can be 1/4 elf and still gets the elf ears while Aria and Aaron never get a hint of elf if you marry Cecilia. But then Micah isn’t a confirmed Earthmate. There’s too much unconfirmed information to be conclusive.

And afaik there’s never been a connection between Elves and Dwarves, but I know Kuruna and Ondorus mentions the link between Elves and the Univir. It sucks that some of the original people working on the first games are no longer working on Rune Factory so we’ll probably get quite a bit of retconning from the next two games probably unintentional reconning due to things that are easily forgotten from the older games and interviews and other media.

>>4056
These are all great points. I think they definitely must've retconned parts of the first two games' lore.
>Also I don’t think that much time actually passed between 1 and 2.
It's been a long time since I played the first games, but I kind of assumed there was like a 20-30 year time difference, and once you factor in the extra years from Aaron/Aria growing up, I was thinking Cecilia had to be at least 40 by the end of RF2. Again, it's been a long time since I played it, so I'm probably misremembering details. It's probably also colored by my bias in assuming that all elves/half-elves age more slowly.
>a slightly older Candy meets Frey in the rune factory 4 manga
I did not know about this! I'd never read the manga, so that's very interesting. It probably hasn't been that much time, relatively speaking. I never assumed it had been, like, centuries between the first 4 games because of stuff like Ethelberd's reappearance, reoccurring characters, etc. I definitely assumed it had been a few decades, though.
>Then again, maybe being an Earthmates cancels out elfyness seeing as Orland can be 1/4 elf and still gets the elf ears while Aria and Aaron never get a hint of elf if you marry Cecilia. But then Micah isn’t a confirmed Earthmate.
I kind of assumed Micah wasn't an Earthmate, but instead, just a half-monster, which let him be good at the farming stuff. Even if he were 1/2 Earthmate, that would throw a wrench in the "cancels out the other species" theory, considering he still vhas the monster traits. I always thought it was weird they never mentioned if Micah was one, though. It's also strange because Raven is a half-monster and has elf/dwarf-ish ears, but Micah doesn't despite them basically being the same species. I know this is all super trivial and nitpicky on my part. The thing with Aria/Aaron and Orland really bothered me (doubly when we consider that Micah and Daria's or Lest and Meg's kids would be 1/2 elf and still don't look like it), but I personally just attribute the inconsistency with the kids to limited character portraits/in-game assets rather than a definitive statement on lore.

I know it came out at some point that the developers gave the characters in 5 ages and Fuuka was 14. I wouldn’t be surprised if that logic was there from the beginning of the games. Like in 2 especially, even the first generation bachelorettes are awfully young, not just by looks but personality. Julia and Yue give off the oldest vibes, while the rest make me think they are still very new adults (Alicia and Rosalind) or even adolescent (Mana and Dorothy) even their rivals match with Ray and Max acting more mature than Jake and Barrett who both act like angsty teenagers. Mana’s a special case. But I genuinely think she’s meant to be super young seeing as Douglas acts like you’re cradle robbing and it’d be weird to act that way if both Kyle and Mana were 18+ imo. Also Dorothy is definitely young and acts even younger than Amber from 4. This all combined with the Fuuka is 14 data mined stuff makes me believe that the characters in 2 are actually meant to look young to reflect their age and not just for chibi style. With that said I think the time between the end of 1 and start of 4 is about 20 years. Ethelberd looks about 40 in 1 and he’s still pretty spry in 4 but clearly older so 60 would track. I feel like 70 would be too old for him to be kicking around that much unless he’s younger than 40 in 1. Which isn’t impossible but that’s a rough 30s if that’s the case.
>just a half-monster
Also I forget Micah is a half-monster. But you’re right, he’s got normal human ears and if Earthmate canceled out halfness, he’d probably not be one anyway. Still annoys me that the halfness wasn’t addressed in 2 or 4 which had ample time to address it seeing as you only have 1 kid in those and it could be a simple flavor text about half(?)-Earthmate children.
>I'm sorry if my post was unclear.
Oh no I meant it more like the developers are connecting them by making dwarves a different flavor of elves.

I was absolutely devastated to learn that Iwasaki, the character designer, didn’t work on GoA. I hope she returns for 6, but I have my doubts. I’m really hoping they’ll at least do more cameo characters in 6 from the older games like Tabatha, Minerva, or Mei returning. Or even the forgotten Marco.

>>3161
Ah sorry, I meant subs for stage plays and the movies, that kind of content. There's a fanwiki for the game which has translations of most screens and dialogue lines (with audio files), and since the dialogue is voiced you can listen to it while playing to figure out which line is what.

And yeah, the fansubs for the stage productions are still mostly passed around via blogs and LJ/dreamwidth, outside of the fanwiki's discord server. I haven't really interacted with the latter but if you have an account you can join it, make a bland hello and help yourself to things. Personal use is all good so they won't chase you if you lurk. Can be helpful for new event gameplay instructions too because other people will have asked about them and tested things.

>>3160
And yet they performed in France and filmed a documentary about Western TouRabu fans to air on Japanese television.

>>3165
Haha I'd just assumed I was retarded yesterday and was too embarrassed to ask to be spoonfed where to look for it.

The fanwiki for this game seems very thorough and the fact that they've even got the audio clips for ease of following along is awesome so I can deal with the text being in Japanese.

Thanks for the clarification nonna!

I just watched the prequel movie for Touken ranbu kai. I'm late but sometimes it just takes me a while to sit down and watch a movie. To be honest I don't have a lot to say about it cause it's about what you'd expect from a touken ranbu movie. This scene near the end with Tsuru is cute. I think I never latched on to him much in the actual game but the various anime adaptations made me more attached to him.
