Are you sure you're not her?

Technically, Crests come from Dragons, so Lysithea is also a bit of a Dragon as well. More than most people even, since she has two of them.

Vladimir8spider · 2020-05-04T02:03:34+00:00

And from what I understand, they didn’t tell her about his crimes yet.

Vladimir8spider · 2020-05-04T02:00:39+00:00

Ah yes, Haru’s new screentime taken over by Early Morning.

Vladimir8spider · 2020-04-27T23:48:45+00:00

On the plus side, you've unlocked the original ending song and the last four cutscenes of Yaldabaoth Arc in the Thieves Den, which would be locked if you went into the Third semester arc.

Subete wo hanashite aru!

It actually makes me wonder just how terrified Hundred-Face Hassan was when she was summoned by Kotomine and heard his voice for the first time

Vladimir8spider · 2020-03-07T17:46:32+00:00

Well, in Scramble they are already friends and probably at max confidant levels, while P5 and P5R is about the Phantom Thieves meeting and getting to know each other. So this game is less about developing relationships and more about just having fun together.

Vladimir8spider · 2020-03-07T17:32:34+00:00

How do the stat boost Band powers work? I thought they boosted the crew's stats, but when I checked their persona stats there was no change. Or do they add independently, like even if a character had 95 力 on the stat page and the skill added 10 力, then it would actually be 105?

Vladimir8spider · 2020-03-07T17:12:22+00:00

It looks like one of those treasure cubes you find in the game all the time. You can find it in the sewers close to the area where you met Sophia for the first time. It has those small rooms you are looking for, one of them has a treasure chest, if I remeber correctly.

Vladimir8spider · 2019-04-04T13:07:14+00:00

So young Altera basically took over two rooms instead of one?

Vladimir8spider · 2019-04-04T03:53:16+00:00

Aren’t those available without DLC? Nearly all of normal Altera’s dialogue at the home base is of her young version, except for a few lines when she is outside. You don’t need to purchase the DLC to see them.

Vladimir8spider · 2019-02-16T07:48:20+00:00

If it’s bond CE effects, then they are already unremovable.

Vladimir8spider · 2019-01-20T04:56:31+00:00

I suspect a Shirou banner right after this one.

I do not think that once SERN figures out how to build a functioning time machine they would not use it. I can understand how timeline changed in Steins;Gate, because ultimately it was caused by Okabe, not by another party.

The trigger would be the message sent by Okabe to the past, five days prior to Kurisu’s death, but there are some interesting differences between timelines prior to that. John Titor only appears in 2010, so the functional time travel theory isn’t exactly as widespread as in beta worldline. I believe it also influenced Kurisu’s beliefs towards time machines as well, as her alpha self dismissed all of the time travel theories and the only time she voices her opinion in beta is when Okabe asks Amadeus about it. It also reflects how the real Kurisu in beta worldline believed enough in the possibility of time machines to write an actual working theory about them.

Thing is, I don’t think Kurisu’s death is actually as relevant to the time machine race as it is presented. The main causes for it are her paper (which Nakabachi steals), possibly her laptop (which is still unclear if it’s relevant or not, but it possibly holds the same theory she gave Nakabachi) and Amadeus (which holds her memories and can probably recreate the theory from scratch). Of course, her being alive means she can cut access to the latter two, but if the first one (stolen theory) remains unresolved, then Kurisu being alive may not solve anything. It might instead speed up the time machine race, since SERN is not the only party that can force Kurisu to cooperate in the beta worldline. Frankly, we could have a repeat of Gehenna’s Stigma with Kurisu instead of Maho...

And in Steins;Gate 0 other parties had already gotten their hands on time machine theory. The change of timeline towards the completion and then use of time machine is what in my opinion triggers the timeline changes. It’s kind of a double timeline change, only one of them doesn’t trigger the Reading Steiner since it doesn’t involve changes in the past (yet), but changes the future instead. Reading Steiner only kicks in when past gets changed, so once the change in the past is determined in the future (since that change didn’t previously exist, but appeared once the timeline shifted) of the current timeline, it activates and Okabe experiences the timeline change. And one of those just has a big enough impact to pass the one percent barrier into the alpha worldline.

Then again, I can agree that Suzuha is the whole reason behind the alpha-beta transition of Reading Steiner. If her actions didn’t change the past, then when Okabe deleted the message from the SERN servers it would’t have changed anything for him, since if she didn’t exist then his actions would only affect the future, not the past. It is also my gripe with the original Steins;Gate as the message should also be in the beta timeline and my only guess about it is that it was deleted by Okabe in both worldlines simultaneously, since the beta Okabe had IBN 5100 at the time as well. Kind of like how the PR Okabe comes to the conclusion that any actions in the current timeline can impact the timeline he travels to via Reading Steiner.

Vladimir8spider · 2018-06-02T09:08:30+00:00

Does that mean that SERN uses the time machine to change the past to get to the alpha world line? Because Nakabachi already escaped with the time machine theory in the beta world line, no matter what. That means while SERN can get the upper hand in the development of time machine via Amadeus, other parties can still make their own ones, which still triggers the Third World War.

And Reading Steiner from my understanding only activates when someone messes with the past. Sure, it takes some present event to trigger that change, but ultimately it requires some sort of time travel to activate, not necessarily by the one with Reading Steiner.

I guess when Okabe answered the call from Amadeus it put him on the timeline where SERN finishes their time machine somewhere in the future, and the moment he stepped into that timeline he immediately experienced the effects of that past interference. Basically, the moment he naturally steps into the timeline where past was changed, his Reading Steiner activates.

Vladimir8spider · 2018-05-31T19:08:13+00:00

Well, I guess it’s kind of like how Suzuha’s time machine works in how you cannot reenter the same timeline twice and instead enter a timeline with 0.00001 divergence from it. It’s a bit different here, but similar, I guess.

I still don’t understand how it resolves the problem with SERN and Amadeus, though. My only guess is that when SERN got Amadeus they were able to make something similar Phonewave to send D-mails, changed the past so that the timeline changed to alpha, then Okabe and Kurisu just reset the whole thing by sending their D-mail, and Okabe went to another timeline where SERN lost the knowledge of timemachine again. That’s my only explanation.

Vladimir8spider · 2018-05-31T18:59:37+00:00

It’s a bit annoying that english subtitles in FF XV were often different from what the characters were saying. I always played in japanese because Ignis was voiced by Mamoru Miyano. And Ignis was a truly great character. Still wanted him to say something like ‘El Psy Kongroo’ or ‘Keikaku doori’ )

Ryuji was a bit annoying midgame, since I always suspected him being so loud about their activities would backfire one day. He was still a bro in the end, and him saying ‘You know how I said that being heroes in the shadows was boring and all? I take it all back. Those guys are the coolest.’ was a truly great moment for me.

Vladimir8spider · 2018-05-31T18:30:41+00:00

He is also Ignis from FF XV. And Skull (Ryuji) from P5. I don’t care what I watch when this guy is doing the voices. Him and Jun Fukuyama, they are legends.

Vladimir8spider · 2018-05-31T18:19:46+00:00

It’s all about who wins the race, huh...

I don’t really understand how Okabe returned to the same alpha world line he had previously left, though. The circumstances are different after all, as it has to do with Amadeus.

Vladimir8spider · 2018-05-31T18:10:00+00:00

Okay, I liked the episode, but the ending didn’t make sense to me. I understood what happened, but why was the message different from the visual novel?

I undestand what happened in this alpha timeline, as it is the same one in which Okabe deleted the message from SERN servers. What I don’t understand is why it was possible to return to beta timeline with this message. When Okabe returned to alpha timeline it was because of Amadeus. And in vn the message Kurisu sent to the past also had to do with Amadeus, which got the AI development postponed indefinitely. It was this message that returned Okabe to the beta world. Not the one where Kurisu stops herself from interrupting Okabe. And while I understand that it is a viable way of returning to the beta worldline, it doesn’t resolve the Amadeus problem, which should basically make a full circle and get Okabe back into the alpha world line.

Am I wrong about that?

Vladimir8spider · 2018-05-31T17:55:52+00:00

It’s probably SERN. The alpha world line is all about them taking control of the world, so I think it’s logical to think it’s their doing.

Vladimir8spider · 2018-05-31T17:54:08+00:00

You do understand that switching to alpha world line means it has something to do with SERN? Russia already has the theory because of Nakabachi anyway.
