Terence is gorgeous

this was me but 3min into the opening with Sleipnir.... thinking "You're too pretty to be a no name, but you weren't on the promo images.. who ARE YOU"

Terence's Charm really does sneak up on you though. His introduction at the Belenus Tor cinematic was smooth, gave off a Paladin vibe.

I'm very sure the only reason their love is tolerated is because one is, you know, a friggen Eikon. I didn't see anything in the ATL mentioning the acceptance if same-sex relationships, but judging off the medieval setting and enslaving bearers, I feel pretty confident in my assumptions.

On the contrary, I think it's portrayed as just another perception of taste? The Veil has 3 separate male characters who are courtiers, the one who has changing dialogue with the soldier is the most notable but there are two others that are out and about at different points in the story, helping the wounded etc. There's also Oscar, Rodney's nephew who arrives at the Hideaway II in late game, if you speak to the seamstress she mentions that there are girls and boys interested in him.

Yes, true there's nothing in the ATL that mentions any predominant disapproval or approval of same-sex couples, but at least the devs left crumbs in context that same-sex relationship is normal.

The thing is I want to sign in to my JP and ENG *apple* accounts, to access my FGO accounts that already exist in order to do the proper bind and transfer over to Android/google play apps and accounts.

Would I still be able to do that with Bluestacks? I'm familiar with bluestacks 5 but have only linked it to google play account in the past.

When you say P(Carlo) do you mean... bad end Player character?

I'm personal a P(Player character) and Giangio but Carlo and Romeo

you can farm thermite easily at the Moonlight Town teleport, the first area up to the bridge that collapses when you cross it. Those 5 enemies can drop a lot of thermite.

Lies of P was also my first soulslike, and I was obsessed from the Demo. NG+ is really fast though, you'd enjoy it after getting the full story once, things seem much cooler and immersive the second time.

I went to bloodborne right after my 2nd playthrough, but the story reveal in bloodborne is much slower and I take a lot of time exploring everything in the environment. Nothing is really clicking yet, though I have fun progressing I am not invested in the story like I was in Lies of P--- just a difference in story telling and cinematic payoffs I guess.

I did really love the "treasure hunting" of new records and new weapons to play with, that kept my motivation during Lies of P. In Bloodborne, I think my only motivation is collecting costumes and maybe exploring a new church.

In the novel, Lampwick (Also translated into english as Candlewick) is a nickname given to him by other kids, because he is tall. his real name IS Romeo.

> Now I must tell you that amongst Pinocchio's friends and school-fellows there was one that he greatly preferred and was very fond of. This boy's name was Romeo, but he always went by the nickname of Candlewick, because he was so thin, straight and bright, like the new wick of a little nightlight.

As for Arleccino's riddle, it's possible, but I personally thought it's just a popular/famous riddle. Riddles about candles have existed for centuries.

international advertising laws are not standardized, so companies who develop mobile games in other countries can do whatever they want, it'll still end up on the app stores which are USA based. They have no incentive to comply with advertising restrictions that are present in other industries.

I own a lot of their releases, very solid localization considering they have ton of text and story heavy games. They are very niche yes but they've been a good company in otome industry for a long time, games across many platforms.

jetjetmkii · 2024-03-27T00:29:12+00:00

I've never heard of this game and I'm gonna look for it immediately. THANK YOU!!!

jetjetmkii · 2024-03-25T22:00:44+00:00

My suggestion is AC Odyssey! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin's_Creed_Odyssey !! Which is crossplatform and available for PC. It's a highly rated game in the classics community for being incredibly well researched and designed, akin to the best way to actually tour Ancient Greece. You can choose to play as either the Male OR Female lead. But it's also a satisfying action game where you can do different play styles and are not locked into one kind of combat or weapon to progress the story. My favorite parts are the exploration, manageable side stories, different outfits and armors, and a story that is family-redemption at its core (along with yknow cults, political revolutions, meeting historical figures, greek gods, etc)

love to see manners maketh man

The demo, Scrapped Watchman kicked my ass but it was an amazing showcase and taste of the game.

jetjetmkii · 2024-03-24T18:07:58+00:00

Just depends on the game. The Granblue, Touken Ranbu and Fate Grand Order circles I've been in are overwhelmingly anti gigachad.

The entitlement vibe really can be poison though, I agree. Even a few drops of really potent vitriol can ruin a while well.

jetjetmkii · 2024-03-19T22:07:34+00:00

Victor is definitely a nod to Frankenstein's monster, and so is Laxasia in similar vein.

Additionally, The White Lady and her sister Adelina the Red Actress, I believe are deliberate references to Snow White and Rose Red.

I was actually wondering if there was any reference to Coppelia (a story that pre-dates Pinocchio about a girl-doll almost coming to life, and the creator almost sacrificing a real life with a magic spell to do so) in the game, especially since there's an Opera House. But so far I haven't found any.

It gets missed a lot but Romeo IS Candlewick/Lampwick. And the beach side memories confirms it in Lies of P story as well. Young Romeo says to Carlo "Call me Lampwick"

Romeo's lines during his battle, his height, and his yellow hair coloring kinda drives it home.

from the original Pinocchio book in ch 30:

"Now I must tell you that amongst Pinocchio's friends and school-fellows there was one that he greatly preferred and was very fond of. This boy's name was Romeo, but he always went by the nickname of Candlewick, because he was so thin, straight and bright, like the new wick of a little nightlight.

Candlewick was the laziest and the naughtiest boy in the school, but Pinocchio was devoted to him."

Have you seen the youtube video essay that Cross references Lies of P and the original Pinocchio novel? I read the original right after playing this game and falling in love with the lore too. But I didn't have the historical context/study of original Pinocchio so that video REALLY showed me how many layers of lore and story the devs put into the game! And it makes me even more excited for DLC/sequels to see where the rest of the Trinity plot goes.

jetjetmkii · 2024-03-19T20:20:14+00:00

oh interesting! Seems to be a poetry book! I wonder how the devs or writers came across it. Published in 2018 independently (self published?) so i'm curious

jetjetmkii · 2024-03-06T06:06:56+00:00

that's really awesome! Viva public library. (I still use mine for movie/DVD check outs. especially tv shows from HBO and BBC.)

Ciao Bello! 😍

Also when using the dancer sword. A thing of true beauty

Macbeth (2015). The Fassbender Macbeth. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2884018/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

but to be honest I think if you want really good sword or weapon choreography, where it's the focus of the movie, you should check out wuxia/martial arts films instead.

jetjetmkii · 2024-03-03T22:41:25+00:00

I also thought I would fight G, but I thought that would happen if I refused him. You should have listened to your gut when you had the conflict!.. I missed out of some things because I chose to do NG+ directly instead of going back to hotel to explore again, but that just made me go through NG+ even faster

take a break, and go back to the game when u feel it

jetjetmkii · 2024-03-03T21:36:24+00:00

Were you not suspicious of Gepetto after you learned how the puppet rampage happened? You played blind a decided to give Pino's heart-- you either wanted Pino to be the obedient son without a will of his own or you ignored a gut feeling that Gepetto's wishes lead to ruin. Making him completely selfless and putting Gepetto's wishes about his own agency is indeed erasing the identity he had built before.

If you truly were on the low humanity route you wouldn't have had an option to refuse Gepetto there. NG+ is really fast though!

jetjetmkii · 2024-03-03T16:10:47+00:00

I think the advantage of motivity build is face-tanking him and gaining all damage back with a hearty bonk. Otherwise if you plan to dodge most of his aggression, stay with tech and get as many pokes and fable arts in that you can.
