Episode 4 was bad in my opinion. After making the player character develop to be an ACTUAL protagonist (Which you only ever see in PSZ in these games) in Episode 3, they're thrown to the back in favor of Hitsugi and her lack of personality, and her cronies. You have some moments of being a protagonist, but they are few and far between, and you're slapped back, again, when Hitsugi decides "NO YOU'RE JUST A MUTE CHARACTER I'M THE PROTAG" to a similar degree that Ethan and Karen did with you in PSU. Late Episode 3 is one of my favorite bits in the story, and Episode 5 is nice, too, since you REALLY protag it up, there. The Epyk arc was fun, too, and had your player character play the straight man-- er.... You get what I mean, in these comedically overdramatic moments (Like when they shake their head in disbelief when about to throw down with whatsername, for example). Episode 6 does show some sort of promise, though, butt I won't say any more than that.

It's a variation of Rare Drop Koi Koi. Did they really use the japanese version? I know that the version used in JP was sung by Matoi's VA. I hope we can get Xanthe Hyunh to sing it.

There's only one solution to this. And it's to

@Vexation Have you searched for it in the list, below the games listed?

@Vexation said in Steam Awards: Labor of Love:

For all those saying they won't nominate it for "Labor of Love" You actually can't do it. It won't let you. PSO2 doesn't come up as a game you can select from that category. So I don't know why OP was asking people to do it at all.

Except you absolutely can.

Hear me out., here.

Each version of the forms has a really neat soundtrack tied to them, and some are even dynamic, based on the fight. For example...

Elder:

His theme is kn own as Violent Dynasty. Sounds chaotic, sounds intense, and sounds like you're fighting one hell of a brute. That is basically what Elder is. It shows that Elder is all about strength and dominance through said strength, and putting you in a mindset of despair to set the mood.

Luther:

Majestic Dynasty and Imperial Dynasty are his themes. Starts with the former, and transitions into the latter. Has a very elegant, yet sinister mood to the whole thing, in both songs, and Imperial Dynasty gets intense, showing that Luther's not screwing around, anymore, usually opening this phase with his PP-depleting attack. It accentuates his thirst for knowledge, and the desire to know everything there is to know.

Gemini:

Chaotic Dynasty. It has a tone of playfulness, but also a tone of evil, which fits Gemini wanting to play and play, not knowing about the fact that everything has its limits, breaking everything in the process. As their fight transitions into Dranble (Still like the name Dourumble personally), the music kicks up a bit, and the violins get REALLY intense, showing that they're truly looking to push you past your breaking point.

Now, those aside, we fall on Apprentice's theme.

I feel it takes the piss out of the fight, personally. I hear no evil undertones to the song, and it just seems upbeat. On top of that, at around 1:03, there's a line I can't unhear. It sounds like "I'M CALLING PIZZA HUT!" to me. It just sounds... too cheerful for a Hyunal, overall.

And that's my two cents. Are there any themes that sound... off for you, context-wise?

Did you skip all the dialogues and lore of the game?

Because it seems like it's the case.

Apprentice's theme is perfect.

No. No, I didn't. I love Episode 5's content. The point is how Apprentice's theme doesn't encapsulate the malevolence of Dark Falz. In context, it's oddly fitting for something regarding what goes down, keeping from revealing spoilers.

I'm thankful for the dev team pouring their heart into this long-awaited localization, being rather transparent to the community, and doing whatever they can to provide as much content for us as JP got. They've been really laying into the crossovers, adjusting things quickly based on user feedback, and have been responsive to players, as a whole.

@Pun

shows donkey Tate

"I mean, I'm extremely famous, so..." --Tate

But yeah, if a mod is doing that, then they should probably consider reprimanding that mod. Since Tate just overflows with lewd jokes.

I actually went to him about her. He said all he can do is reverse that timeout, which he did.

Tate's a cool guy. I like him. I played PSO2 with him, before, and we got to BS and stuff. It's just that one SJW of a mod who also banned me from his Discord because I made a joke involving the Apostolo Dragon and Astolfo.

Twitch already offers a way to see people playing specific games. You don't really need to tell us specific streamers. Especially if you forget to mention the best one:

GoldenTot

He's awesome, but a mod in his chat ruins it for me.

• Me: "Geez, Hitsugi's personality is about as flat as her chest."

• The mod: "REEEEEEEEEE STOP BEING FUCKING WEIRD"

• You have been timed out for 8 hours
