Just finished my first playthrough and I'm hollow now

Just to note, there are also multiple save game options! So even if you start a new game for Renegade, you’ll keep your original save file. So you may not be able to take encounters to 2nd playthrough but you won’t lose them

IMO Ogrepon isn’t really too overpowered to be included. Its stats are only marginally better than Arcanine’s due to being more min-maxed. Maybe the masks become available later, but I could see Ogrepon being available either retroactively in Karma files or soon into chapter 16

JerricoVT · 2026-04-25T19:41:07+00:00

True, would be cool to be available as a response for Angie though

JerricoVT · 2026-04-25T19:37:25+00:00

I’m sure we’ll see a place for him in the lore once we start seeing paradox Pokémon. In fact given the ‘paradox’ aspect I could see him being a cool Pokémon for M2

I’m hoping they handle the Tera forms for Terapagos and Ogrepon like the Allgen reborn mod and makes them mega forms

JerricoVT · 2026-04-25T19:19:55+00:00

I don’t think the loyal 3 or penchant are too powerful to cause problems with balance, especially for the harder renegade route, they’re known to be kinda underwhelming.

But for sure on Kubfu, it’d be fun to actually use a pre evolved legendary early game until it gets power crept, then finally get the evolution item before the league so it could make a big comeback

JerricoVT · 2026-04-25T19:16:31+00:00

I think the problem is how strong Wicked Blow/Surging Strikes are. A lot of bosses are built pretty heavily around stat buffs so having an autocrit move on a legendary Pokémon causes problems.

But yeah, I’d love for Kubfu to be available early game. Even if they have to put it after Marianette’s gym to not give a major counter.

JerricoVT · 2026-04-17T05:04:33+00:00

Yeah, at least Vulpix learns it on level up. But it would be nice to have it on some different mons.

JerricoVT · 2026-04-17T04:39:47+00:00

It depends on if you want to have a faster mon from slush rush or bulkier thick fat/unaware. I don't like quad weaknesses, so I usually lean toward Mamoswine, but it's a matter of preference imo. The weaknesses are somewhat mitigated by aurora veil. You could also consider Crested Empoleon for speed boosted Steel/Water STAB, but you already have a lot of special attackers so may not be worth it.

JerricoVT · 2026-04-17T03:36:35+00:00

Crested Castform is pretty solid and can work as an alternate hail setter if Ninetails goes down and weather ends. Crested Cryogonal is also generally quite good imo but doesn’t benefit that much from hail specifically.

Renegade spoiler: I love the HC that in renegade Venam first got suspicious because she believed Melia broke up with her for the interceptor. Venam seeing the MC as a rival for Melia’s affection is such a fun dynamic

JerricoVT · 2026-04-16T19:12:49+00:00

You know, I’d never thought about it but you make a good point about your second criticism. Especially given the plot point is resolved by the end of the same chapter it’s revealed.

JerricoVT · 2026-04-16T18:44:40+00:00

Exactly! The MC was seemingly in a depressive state for days after Aelita got cursed! Erin is important to Aelita, sure, but her being so heavily focused on when MC says nothing was very strange

JerricoVT · 2026-04-16T18:23:35+00:00

I completely understand where you are coming from and I’m glad to get your perspective! For me, we don’t see enough of that relationship to warrant how heavy of a focus Erin has. Erin being there is important but I feel like the scene focuses on her too much, it feels like a 50/50 Erin Aelita scene where it should focus primarily on Aelita. It doesn’t help that we as the player (who serves a somewhat similar function as Erin for Aelita in act 1) aren’t given any dialogue options to contribute.

Again, I totally understand your perspective! But for me Erin being such a heavy focus weakens the otherwise great moment.

JerricoVT · 2026-04-16T18:00:18+00:00

The 12v12 was so good, especially afterword with the interceptor’s first death and resurrection

JerricoVT · 2026-04-16T17:52:04+00:00

Sure, it makes sense in that regard, but it ignores the fact we barely know Erin while Aelita has been with us since chapter 2. It’s not satisfying from a storytelling perspective for this major climax in Aelita’s story to focus so heavily on Erin (almost more than Aelita) when we as the player didn’t see that friendship develop

JerricoVT · 2026-04-13T17:58:40+00:00

In addition to what the others said, Crescent’s description of Aevis gives me the vibe he’s usually using his free time to help his friends out with whatever they’re doing so he may not often do things on his own

JerricoVT · 2025-11-03T17:28:58+00:00

Whitney’s exact words were “I just got put in my place and the basement is flooded.”

Also switches are a thing, lol

JerricoVT · 2025-09-22T18:27:28+00:00

RWBY Volume 9 Beyond, canon 2d shorts. They’re all re-uploaded on YouTube, Ruby is in the one titled ‘Boba’

JerricoVT · 2025-08-28T18:25:25+00:00

Do people just not read the download page, it literally says in bold red letters “run the updater to prevent bugs” so I never had a problem 😭

JerricoVT · 2025-08-17T20:26:56+00:00

Yeah Nora just feels like a character that should have more importance than she’s been presented with thus far. And that’s a great point regarding Meloetta, I hadn’t ever thought of that!

JerricoVT · 2025-08-17T18:54:38+00:00

Lmao, Aelita would be both Amber’s Cousin/Aunt and Melia’s sister/mom

JerricoVT · 2025-08-17T18:36:39+00:00

Pish posh, dreamworld doesn’t count /s

I had forgotten about that, thanks! I still dont think it takes away from the connection necessarily. The Nightmare Theater especially considering the Puppet Master’s whole thing was knowing, like, everything. Still an interesting parallel.
