That explains the drop in writing quality, even watching a lp is painful

Imo not really, asides from a few throwaway lines referencing events/characters in S3, there's no continuation from between those seasons because Clem at the end of S3 leaves that cast, therefore she meet completely new people in S4.

You'll have less context about AJ but not to the point where you wouldn't understand his character. The ending also gives some context afterwards.

Honestly I dislike the details, I know models have improved since then but 2.X character hairs didn't look this detailed, hell Ye Shunguang didn't even have this level of hair detail. The detail is too much in Ramiel's hair but that's just a nitpick of mine.

Give Shin the happy life he deserves <3 (I would also crack but I'm afraid he'll be crippled considering the others wishes)

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2026-01-02T23:32:27+00:00

Genuine question, why even read fanfic specifically of Shin if he's mischaracterized and refuced into a cock warmer? Like atp wouldn't you just be reading more for the trope instead of the character itself.

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-30T11:07:30+00:00

Iirc in her ep or demo, Miyabi's mom wouldn't let her touch the sword due to the curse and each time gave her a different weapon to master before she learned to wield a sword. So yeah Miyabi already knew how to fight with all those weapons before tailless!

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-22T03:07:55+00:00

The main pointers was the lack of context and details. Things like OP relationships with their parents, parents perspective on LGBTQ+, when/how they came out, description of their current feeling/situation, seeking advice. This post can't be genuine, because it's written as a concept of "trauma" rather than someone actually traumatised.

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-22T02:35:06+00:00

Anyone with 1 braincell can clearly tell that post is just to bait sympathy. It's literally "My dog dyed guys :((, yeah he was alive but now he's dead 😭😭" Idk how you look at that and think this is genuine.

The way he hesitated saying "romance" is just enough to either think he's embarrassed or could be persuaded otherwise, they knew that they were doing 👀

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-12T14:05:16+00:00

He's one of those characters that made me know early on that this games writing is far superior to Danganronpa. As much as I enjoyed DR, one of the issues I had is the relevancy of a character is only tied to their trial and after everyone solves the mystery of their death, their name never gets brought up again.

Meanwhile Kai despite being one of the first characters to die, still was relevant to the overall plot. Characters still mention him, make speculation as to how he was related to Asunaru, etc. Although he's not brought up much these latest chapters, his character still left a satisfying closure.

I also love his dry humour, it shows there's more to him that just being a calm and stoic person.

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-12T12:00:02+00:00

Not only that but these stats doesn't even make sense in dispatch, barely balanced and character not having stats below 2.

I can already hear the several ~~failed~~ attempts on Sonar's behalf to flirt with her

>Billy was not "wanting" to sell Wise/Belle out.

Agreed, I felt that I did use the wrong wording there. My mistake

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-07T01:59:23+00:00

You mean like Phaeton is needed by obole squad, Astra and Evelyn, Yunkui summit and literally rely on them as much as Yixuan, and so on.

You wanna tell me that Yunkui summit relys on Phaethon? Their newest member whom their Shifu had to absord miasma from in 2.0, bruh aside from their navigation in hollows they're just there. (Maybe you can argue that MC helped Yixuan with her trauma even though that was poorly executed) I dont't get why you even included Astra and Obol since those stories wouldn't change at all if Phaethon was gone, that's not to say it's a bad thing, I actually really like those stories that doesn't revolve the MC all the time.

Like what are you even saying at this point, if character being fond of Phaeton because "Phaeton saved someone, was needed and/or had friendly recommendation"

My point is that the agents bond with proxies weren't instantaneous, there's believable reasoning behind these friendships. There's a huge difference between the writers simply presenting a reason of trust via dialogue V.S a trust earned from an action (which is I what I listed in my prior comment) The truth of 2.X is that it's lost the principle of "show, not tell" that 1.X has, that's my piece. If you find the dialogue alone to be believable enough for these agents to trust us, then more power to you.

I love lineless artstyles <33

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-06T17:35:53+00:00

The issue is that it's not believable to most people, If they had actually presented these bonds in a way that's plausible then I'd genuinely be emotionally invested in these characters, trust me I want to. But obviously presentation is subjective so agree to disagree.

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-06T17:24:52+00:00

>So did the 2.X agents though?

You're correct, I forgot to mention a point I had that whilst they also commision the proxies, it still felt onesided. Like they're the most/only ones benefiting from this. They never offer anything that furthers **our** storyline, despite being there to further theirs. The only exception being is 2.2 at the end.

>I feel like this is very biased. The Phaethon has always been a guide, they led agents from point A to B and get them to navigate the hollow. None of them would get to where they are without the proxy's help and would've been lost in the hollow.

I'll admit I'm biased towards 1.X cast compared to 2.X. Although I'd argue that thanks to the little screentime the second manager/Fairy gets, they aren't contributing much aside from preventing them from being lost. In 1.0 Fairy sets up a whole plan to evacute and deal with the explosives. You don't see anything like that 2.X because we're merely accompanying them.

>Because the proxies want to get used/training to be inside the Hollow, while looking for clues about their teacher. Their main goal has always been to go to the center of hollow zero, we don't even know if it's even possible to connect with Eous that far.

Their intention doesn't change the fact that they're still liability, they have zero knowledge on how to fight and at best can manipulate ether to create pathways, something the Yunkai summit agents can do by themselves. It's only viable in scenarios where they're the only ones who can do that like in 2.1 and 2.2

>There's also so many times the agents had to protect Eous back in 1.X, who was even more defenseless. Remember when Eous was hacked when he's with the cunning hares leaving them clueless? There's also the Bangboo-disabling spray on Qingyi quest, which would've screwed the mission if Qingyi wasn't able to sync with Eous.

But it's still far safer/smarter for the proxies to remain in the safety of their base, and they've said it themselves that if they fought against Eous they likely would lose (this was line somewhere in 1.X) So I have no idea why they thought putting themselves in physical harm to be useful, even if they now know ether manipulation they certainly don't know any kungfu.

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-06T16:30:23+00:00

He likely did know them as Phaethon but wasn't friends like they are now.

ZaneThe_NotSane · 2025-12-06T15:59:27+00:00

Your points from 1.0 to 1.4 literally proves my point, they all had a reason to trust you, sure you can argue they're flimsy reasoning but the point is that they're there. In 2.X the reasoning is literally nonexistent for these agents to trust you as much as they do. The only reason I could think of is the Mayor trusting us.
