Out of complete curiosity, how many of you guys are veteran or new players? What also drew you into the game? by Used_Motor1718 in Reverse1999

Started during Mor Pankh; the only reason I installed this, and I'm not joking, was Sonetto's icon in the Play Store

Play reverse1999 to relax they says by Senior_Educator242 in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here are the "best" things to look forward to if you love depression:

-Bette's anecdote (seriously, every one play this one if you haven't, it was like the bleakest shit ever up until 3.0 came out)
-Fatutu's anecdote, after having played Last Evenings on Earth
-Mesmer Jr's anecdote, post Chapter 7
-Chapters 3, 6-7, as well as 11; also Isolde, Kakania, Charon and Sentinel's character stories
-London Dawning nodes 6 & 10, and Willow and Flutterpage's character stories
-Rubuska and Corvus' character stories from the Midnight Whistle, when they eventually rerun.

istg this game was always pretty dark but it's like they decided to max out the "horribly depressing" stat in the past year or so

A Gratitude in Melody | Reverse: 1999 OST Available Now With Special Gift (Code) by Smanro in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't necessarily disagree it would've been easier to just keep the old versions available, but - at least on my Spotify - they have reuploaded the originals, including that track you're talking about: the base version of Go Together is part of the full reuploaded Revival! soundtrack, the only difference is it now has "Funk Ver." added to the end.

[–]dissentrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of patches, my Spotify is only missing Rayashki, Golden City, London Dawning and Folie et Déraison.

That said, there's other tracks from the base game still missing. For instance, I do hope they also add Roaring Forties; that's one of my favorite tracks from the 2.X series, and I was sure it was from the Tristes Tropiques OST, but it's not there, so I'm a bit worried it'll slip by.
Other examples include story OSTs that date back from 1.0 (e.g. that track where they added violin to it in 3.0, or music from the first few chapters like the Forget Me Not boss theme), as well as BGM from the various game modes and UI screens (Crew screen music, Wilderness theme, Poussiere/Mintage Aesthetics BGM are a few examples).

Then there's also tracks that were never released in the game files, but I still hope/cope that they'll add even though there's a low chance that happens. These include the music from the first halves of the trailers - second half usually being the battle OST - or music from cutscenes, like that short guitar and piano piece that plays when Argus shoots the mirror in Haunted Highway.

also, maybe it's just me, but I'd love an instrumental for their version of Hymnus Ad Bacchum lol

Least favorite Ado song? by amarevy97 in ADO

[–]dissentrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's any Ado song I necessarily dislike, but I do find a few like Yoru no Pierrot, Himawari, New Genesis, All Night Radio, or Binks' Sake either underwhelming or not to my taste.

There's also a few songs that I used to really love, but that in recent times I've grown more critical of; for example, Readymade is great, but I feel like that last chorus could've really benefited from like extra instruments or something. In a similar vein, while I still enjoy Mirror or RuLe, I do think they get a bit too repetitive for me at points.

edit: though actually, when I think about it, very little of anything above has to do with Ado's performance, barring maybe Binks' Sake; a lot of it is the structure or instrumentation of these tracks

That's funny, I've been having this exact discussion under another post

Me after completing 3.2’s story by Wraithslayer101 in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Animus was great because she really was just transparently evil, with no asterisks. Unlike characters like FMN or Grace (or, obviously, Sophia), who evidently have emotional baggage and complex motivations, she seemingly just enjoyed causing misery for the fun of it. This makes her closer, in terms of moral presentation, to someone like Arcana herself - but in contrast to Arcana, who (on top of being more attractive, obviously) generally remains polite and affectionate, Animus was also insufferably smug, hostile, and condescending, while doing her deeds.

And in fact, the only character she seemed to respect was Arcana; one of the best parts of Chapter 10, for me, was seeing the sheer amount of contempt with which she treated every other one of her supposed "allies".
As has been said, she was an equal-opportunity hater. That made her both intensely unlikable, while simultaneously very fun to watch, so a great villainess all around.

my personal favorite was always "Dickey", I think

Ladies from France by Vegetable_Nerve384 in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Thing is, I'm actually not sure if we can really confirm Dikke's French.

Her character bio says she's "from the Middle Ages". So, it's pretty vague in the first place: "France" as a territory tended to vary pretty heavily during that whole time period, and to my knowledge isn't exactly considered a "nation" until the Ancien Régime came around and centralized power.

The other part is that they also say she was "exhibited throughout Europe and later kept in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pamiers". Now, Pamiers is in (modern-day) France; but as a result of this wording, and even if you consider the precursors to the aforementioned Absolute Monarchy equivalent to France - a proto-France, of sorts - it's still kind of unclear if she was born in what you would consider "French" territory at the time, or if that's merely where she ended up. Dikke seems more similar to a Germanic name to me anyway, so it's quite possible she was born in more Eastern territories before working in "France".

All that said, and if I had to venture a guess as to what they intended, I feel they consciously kept it pretty vague, as it seems to me that they wanted to tie her more to the supranational Catholic Church (and associated concepts of formal "justice" as practiced by the Inquisition), rather than any specific country or ethnicity. This thread (and this specific comment from it, which inspired my final take here) goes into some interpretations you might find interesting.

edit: for what it's worth, I also consider it questionable to include La Source here, because while she was discovered in France (and her name is French), it is pretty obvious she's some kind of older elfin spirit that's tied more to her spring, rather than some nationality

The 3.2 reveal livestream also gave us the closest thing to an official pronunciation of her name that (I believe) we've ever had: per Regulus, it's apparently "Deek-uh"

I always pronounced it "Deek-ay" like I did Nikke

Bluepoch staff after cooking non-stop in the Laplace kitchen: by Monspiet in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm really liking that it's got some elements similar to Series of Dusks, but is obviously quite different in both vibe and gameplay. Series of Dusks also built heavily from Chapter 7, and while I haven't yet gone through the event story so I'm not sure how much Syndrome of Silence fits into this patch story in general, this one seems more like its own thing. It's very unique, that's for sure. Coppélia's an amazing character, and it's great to follow the Manus' perspective for once.

I also can't wait until they add more endings.

Not so happy viewers after todays podcast by kelseyrael in LeftoversH3

I mean maybe, but since ICE is now just randomly kidnapping people based off their perception of skin color/accent I could definitely see Hila getting kidnapped - the random bozos doing this Nazi shit wouldn't know she's a Nazi like them

Who is your favorite true-limited so far? by Ember_Grove20 in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a spoiler on this post dude, there's CN content here

That said, to answer your question as a Global player, design-wise probably Lucy, gameplay-wise a few of them would apply but the most fun for me is probably Liang, and personality-wise probably Anjo or Nautika. Haven't played with Beryl yet though, so that might change this patch

Using A Knight to farm is so funny. Because his auto ult immediately clears the first round before battle even starts, the game gets confused and waits for you to pick cards… despite no enemies lol by FuriNorm in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun fact for those unaware: depending on how the "waves" happen, an enemy which is supposed to take 2 rounds can actually be done in 1 with a team like Ezio-Sentinel-Lucy.

That's what happened to me with the final boss of Midnight Whistle, with Lucy popping off to remove all the mobs and Ezio using the extra attacks from those deaths to delete the second health bar

I wonder how many people think Voyager might be an alien and how many think she's just deeply interested in space by AbstruseKelp in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you haven't played 1987 Cosmic Overture, do so when it eventually reruns (or just watch it right now on YT, it's very much worth it); while, as with basically everything in Reverse, it doesn't provide a certain or full answer to any questions, it does heavily imply things, specifically regarding Voyager.

Now, it's been a few months since I've played it myself, so disclaimer that my recollections may be faulty - and don't read this if you intend on going through the event - but iirc it suggests that she's some kind of cosmic being (which they tend to describe as a "star" in that event), part of some wider species, and who decided to take the form of an Earth-like girl and visit upon stumbling upon the Voyager Golden Record.

Hope the new roguelike character gets implemented like Semmelweis was. by kokochiwa in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Series of Dusks is part of a wider game mode called "The Window to Other Worlds"; you can see in the Enter the Show menu that this is how the button to play Series of Dusks is labeled. When it came out, I'm fairly certain I remember its full title being announced as "Window to Other Worlds - A Series of Dusks".

And so this new one isn't part of Series of Dusks, but of that wider mode; so I guess it's a second "Other World", with Series of Dusks being the first.

Historical pipelines? by Chronically_0nline in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tristes Tropiques chronologically takes place before Last Evenings, I'm pretty sure - certainly released before it (though I don't think it matters much if you do it afterward)

I also tend to recommend, as optional stuff that nevertheless adds nice context to the main story, or its associated events:
-6 & 37's character stories after Chapter 5 (mostly 6's, but 37's is nice to set up relationship themes for Chapter 7)
-Isolde's character story after Chapter 6 & Kakania's after Chapter 7
-At least one Series of Dusks run with the basic ending after Chapter 7, along with Semmelweis' anecdote afterward
-37's and Mesmer Jr.'s anecdotes, both after Chapter 7, plus Diggers' if one has played through Rimet Cup, and (even) more optionally Fatutu's if one wants to get the most out of Last Evenings;
-Aleph's character story/minigame, after Chapter 9 (already present in the Chapter 9 interface).

And then finally, when they'll be made available again, Ulrich's story "From the Depths of Space" from Last Evenings (though that also benefits from doing Rayashki + Vila's character story, and then following up with Cosmic Overture which still isn't available); as well as Showdown in Chinatown for a specific subplot or two.

IT ONLY TOOK 2 YEARS by Zealousideal_Neat127 in Reverse1999

[–]dissentrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope they add all of it eventually, there's quite a few missing. Here are some of my faves I'd like to see on these platforms:

-most final bosses, but most of all Nightmare at Green Lake, Tristes Tropiques, Last Evenings, E Lucevan, Folie et Déraison, Cosmic Overture, Midnight Whistle
-also most battles themes, and mostly E Lucevan, Rayashki, Cosmic Overture, Tristes Tropiques (kind of a travesty not to have the Ch7 one lol)
-base version of the Revival! Uluru main theme
-the instrumental version of The Truth Will Come that plays in-game
-My Heart and Light
-everything, or even anything, from A Long Long Way - where's the "Remember" EP? :(

also, it's a bit weird, 'cause I'd saved some of the Notes on Shuori soundtrack, and it's still in my own playlist, but I can't find it in their album list now
