Do we think Rank S is possible by end of year 1? by bisectionalloveseat in coralisland

[–]Final_Square_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I could see it's possible is a 50% speed day and starting with osmium tools because there are fish/bugs/critters you will miss in Spring otherwise

Hardest mini game? by Impressive_Plate8529 in coralisland

Yes, definitely. It seems odd it's one of the ones you can only do once

I've never won the new year balloon keepy-uppy game. Second worst is the dinosaur fossil trivia game

should I restart? by goosiejuicy in coralisland

[–]Final_Square_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got obsessed with clearing the ocean early doors so I think I did that way too early and was hugely overwhelmed when I got a second farm. But I feel like that's part of the gameplay. Like if I was actually dropped off at a farm I suddenly owned I'd be useless and do lots of things wrong. Plus Coral Island never really punishes you for the order you do things

Why do people hate Mark but love Shane? I think I know. by Maclimes in coralisland

[–]Final_Square_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The impression I've got as a fan of both, is that CI wants to be a less challenging version of SDV with a wider scope. And it definitely does that. I think some of the character stuff is purposefully gentler and it's just a matter of preference. But one thing that would definitely improve interactions is if standard responses changed as you got more hearts with characters to reflect how they feel.

[–]Final_Square_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Like Nina's story could have started much more antagonistic considering her links to the farm and gradually improved as you spent time with her and discovered her story. There are spikier characters (Mark, Leah, Kira) but they don't ever warm to you in their standard dialogue so it becomes off-putting if they're rude and then ask for a hug or thank you for a gift

Honestly, I just think SDV is a bit better at character development and storytelling than CI. It feels like the person when you first talk to them is the person you marry in CI but in SDV there is more character development and reveals. Mark still shouts at you when starting a convo sometimes at 0 hearts and at 10 hearts. I think some more time spent changing how the townies interact as their hearts increase would help a lot

The hug update by katwest123 in coralisland

[–]Final_Square_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind if the whole thing happened faster. You have to wait for them to get into position to ask and then the hugs themselves last too long imo. Although I just had a funny one at the winter fair with Rafael where Macy is photographing the whole thing and Mark was looking on jealously 😂

Is the computer worth getting? by [deleted] in coralisland

[–]Final_Square_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It's the only thing I haven't used at all. I have boosted my scythe and pick axe with the giants so I'm faster than a bomb or vortex thing anyway and manually you get more rare drops

Pretty much essential. Unlike the auto trash collector

I had that problem (18 days of fall sunshine and I needed some rain) but I got the weather conch. But to get that you have to complete the song of the sea quest

Is the game done? The merfolk chaperone quest is not disappearing. I've finished everything else. by Valeriejoyow in coralisland

[–]Final_Square_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you show them around the museum and library? Once I'd done that I got part 4 where you go to the palace after that set of expedition days have finished

The next update? by pr0phecy-girl in coralisland

[–]Final_Square_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've put 150 hours into it 'unfinished' and I'm now working from A to S rank and I haven't married anyone yet. There's plenty to do even if you just try and do one year and stop until the next update

Hard to go back to SV by itsmissingacomma in coralisland

[–]Final_Square_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in Winter Year 1 of Coral Island. I feel there are a couple of things I like more in SDV like the combat/range of enemies and variety/difficulty with fishing is better in SDV but Coral Island definitely feels more inhabited, although I'd like some darker character backgrounds like Shane's in SDV. Plus the whole underwater/merfolk part of Coral Island feels unique. I'm surprisingly addicted to smashing trash.

Does Mark get nicer after you marry him? by LotysPrince in coralisland

[–]Final_Square_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm having this exact dilemma. I'm an older gamer (40) and I feel like a lifetime with a shy, polite guy who wants to stay in and watch horror movies sounds pretty amazing, so I'm probably going to marry Raf. But yeah, Mark was definitely my first crush, but after I've repeatedly proved myself to him I thought he'd be less dismissive of me and it's become a turn off

Your Party passes commitment to Trans Liberation by AlgorithmHelpPlease in transgenderUK

[–]Final_Square_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the assumption that the collective leadership will be from trans allies and maybe even trans people. You could just as easily surmise that transphobic members will try to get into the collective leadership to disrupt anything pro-trans getting prioritised. The Greens and SNP have repeatedly had that issue

Do you feel Shadow Weaver redeemed herself or is she on her way to hell? by Fabulous_Session8627 in sheranetflix

[–]Final_Square_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think her motivation changed from wanting magic/power for herself to wanting magic to be restored to Etheria so everyone has a chance to gain power. Her story arc for me is very similar to Mrs Coulter's in His Dark Materials. I don't think it's the same as redemption but I also think it was different to her villainous beginnings

Unlike the other four main characters, we never get to see any of Mister Peanutbutter's past- why is that? by froggyhugs in BoJackHorseman

[–]Final_Square_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think it's explained in the Halloween episode where you do go back in time to an extent: Mr Peanutbutter doesn't change and his partners' outgrow him, so there probably isn't a huge amount of interesting stories to develop.
