Oooh, whats your story called? Or is it not out yet?
To be honest, Iâm more interested in whether weâll be able to ask the Seeker to teach us how to use a sword, considering heâs our tutor most of the time I donât think it would be out of the question? And a bonus is asking Nova to make a sword of our own
(punching things really hard is fun, but being able to use a great technological sword would be cool too)
Ps: just a suggestion, I know thereâs already a lot of variation, but this idea always pops into my head when I read this wip (itâs one of my favorites)
This is what Iâve never understood. In the context of the story youâre being forced to interact with these people, your future self is telling you what you must surpass and/or defeat them, and most of the time youâre getting dragged into situations theyâve not adequately prepared you for. Why would you want to romance any of them?
IIRC youâre only ever told youâd need to get as strong as the strongest of them because youâll be facing a big bad thatâs going to be really bad. Nothing about it implying that youâd be fighting these people instead of working with them. So technically thereâs no indication that getting closer to them would be any problem.
When it comes to female ROs two out of three of them donât have any say about what you get dragged into (and one of them being your longer term friend) so itâs also not like thatâs something to hold against them specifically.
Lat has captivated me with her âforgot my best friend is an orphanâ swag.
How long is the demo currently? It ended up after meeting Ignis and Seeker, telling us weâll become a hero.
Far far further along than that if its the scene im thinking it is.
Maybe I just donât trust voices in my head that tell me the only way forward is to punch friendly people (and Forlorn) merely because the issuer of the voice looks like me. Like, this thing is, AT THE VERY LEAST, keeping important information from me, and possibly outright lying. Why would I trust it when it tells me I should commit violence?
Because Aki is both a fantastic human being AND loves horror movies.
I think itâs the first link to the demo. The other one let me through the rest of the chapters.
You donât trust the voices in the head of Lat neither? For shame! Latooni, best girl, would never betray us!
Wouldnât she, though?
To be honest, from personal perpective it could be handled much better.
As I stated for multiple reasons (aside from Ignis being a RO), choices matter and they have consequences.
Itâs a risky move. We can already see how people are reacting to it for over a year.
Hi! Sadly, no. I am still in a starting phase (such is my luck as a college student).
Not to mention setting the characterâs backstories so they can tie in into future sequels and such aside from worldbuilding, lore and setting the plot for the future. Since I plan to implement subtle messages to the world that we live in and situations that happen on daily basis to the people that surround us that are both close and far.
There probably wonât be a demo out for a few years since I want to dedicate fully to my future IF completely without a deadline hanging over me or having to choose what to do (and not be burnt out). Thank you for asking!
No problem, Iâll still look forward to it!
My point is, you donât know whatâs going on or who to trust or even how much more you need to prepare. Is it really the time or the group of people to be even considering any romances with?
Sounds like I could suddenly die without warning, so
yeah, definitely.
(Wow, itâs really going to make me write a âcomplete sentence.â)
All this Ignis discussion when Aki clears them anyway
I mean, romance is hardly something that operates on logic or bends to it. The heart wants what it wants and if the MC catches some genuine feels then (considering they arenât exactly an old, experienced and jaded adult with bunch of romance experience under their belt) it can be quite naive to expect them to act as if they are a perfectly rational robot.
As long as the author doesnât bogart all the major fights and hand them over to yours truly because âMC is still newâ and âwill be a different kind of hero to the teamâ then Iâm good. We have a talking alien in our head, give us someone interesting to punch. Anyway, almost forgot how fun this thread is xD
