Yeah, i think the writers want to pair up each character with someone and left the player in the dust for that reason. XD.

But it is telling when put in that situation, Flora is willing to frame her brother and leave him to die when he was trying to spare her. And she even gloats that she's not going to mourn him. Also all we did was tell Cassandra information. Flora was the one who told the grunts to plant info framing Florin.

Agreed, it's quite telling that Flora declares herself the ruler of GDC when she thinks she's won and is willing to kill Ryland out of pure spite. Sure Bladestar is full of incompetent morons, but they still had a right to live and are outcasts abused by society. At least some of them are. Also framing her brother and condemning him to death when he was trying to spare her the death sentence. That's cold. While i normally don't condone the end justify the means, most villains who follow that have redeeming qualities, like Edelgard, Wind Waker Ganondorf, and Vayne Solidar and have a level of charisma and genuine compassion that convince you that they genuinely believe in the cause. Meanwhile Flora talks a big game about loving her grunts like her children while describing them as morons with no place to go during Darchlight cave. Still she's a fun villain to hate, and she did her job as the antagonist of V12. I like even the cast call her a bitch after all is said and done.

Yeah, in my first run, Flora was so damn insufferable and transparently evil that i turned her in, and didn't say anything to Cassandra like the game really wanted me to. I was vindicated when Flora went full supervillain, started bombing places, killing her own grunts, invasive treatment on Ryland, and other shenanigans. And on two other runs, i joined Bladestar, and that didn't work out so well since the plot still happens and Flora is so stupid to piss off the most powerful battler she has, and in the other, she gets a really creepy scene where she frames Florin for being a Bladestar member in the courtroom scene. I can't wait to see how this plays out. I still find it funny she stupidly destroys her own console in a temper tantrum.

Nim just wants revenge on herself. Seems legit.

Flora is inferior Edelgard. Edelgard has the compassion, patience, and standards that Flora doesn't have. Change my mind.

Oh boy, so Flora escapes in this version if you tell Cassandra everything? Since Florin is dead, no one can call the cops on her. This is going to have repercussions.

So the Neo Gearen quests ehh? Okay. I wanna see Goomy renact Legend of Zelda.

So what are the quests needed to start the Legend of Goomy and Where can i find Deino?

Reminding us why Beeheyem and Psychic types are walking paranoia fuel. Like jeez, i could see Cassandra and GDC using them to keep the populace under control. And why i think the Cassandra at the end of V12 is an impostor.

How do we know we were winning all those battles anyway? How do we know Melia and her group of hanger ons are actually are our friends and not Ditto in disguise? So many questions.

On one hand, i enjoy that Beeyheem are being used to the fullest of their paranoia inducing capabilities, but on the other, it's sheer paranoia fuel. How do we know what's real or not? You can see this in where love lies. At least we have Delpha.

Just prepare for Erin being a jerk and calling you stupid for telling Cassandra. Not one of her best moments.

That Beheeyem is HAX I tells you!!! HAX!!!!!! So we would clearly need some form of block against it, i guess we have the Delphox, but c'mon, surely some dark types could help us out. No bias or anything.

No you side against Flora and then tell Cassandra everything. I'll warn you, it's pretty creepy.

I like that she's actually somehow still in Melia's brain. Guess we aren't the only ones with split personality.

Except Melanie.

Madame X fell down a trap door though, Hahahahah. Either way, they both have the ability to time travel. Perhaps the time diamond was given to Madame X by the surfer duo.

I'm pretty sure the Surfer duo have an agenda and are playing Madame X like a cheap fiddle. Also Kieran called out Ren for wearing that disgraceful uniform, which may instead be a jab at his robot body. But ehh, it's still showing contempt for Xen.

Is there a way to check for karma? And what is that questline you are talking about?

So what's the check for the scene after we collapse and the ghosts in our head give judgement. From what i can tell, it involves choices involving bladestar. I ratted out Flora and didn't tell Cassandra anything, and the ghosts said i'm trustworthy and made the right decisions. Meanwhile for both a Bladestar run and tell Cassandra run(Jesus the court scene got creepy) the ghosts said they don't know what my motivation is. Very interesting, given that Melia mentions the Interceptor can either bring prosperity or ruin, i'm inclined to think a demon path bad end is planned or something.

Yeah i played Insurgence. Well it all depends on how Jan handles this plot point. I imagine Xenpurgis is also sentient.

Yeah, and Melia got the golden one. That's going to be VERY relevant. That's sort of why i think it's a mind control virus, if they have Melia under their control then the stakes are raised, and such a virus would affect the Nightmare city, which would explain why the Puppet Master comes into play. I mean, we could have avoided the vaccines, but Melia just had to tell the clerk we weren't vaccinated. That's going to backfire.

So i've been guessing that Xenpurgis is some sort of virus, most likely either a mind-control one or a killer one. I guess the current crisis is going to make the next update feel more real? Imagine being stuck in our penthouse with Melia, Venam, Huey, Reina, Lavender, the three siblings, and Rhodea. Hope they have Ekans and Ladders to pass the time. But seriously, hope everyone here stays safe and healthy. Messed up times.

What's interesting is that Saki seems to be in a dream world, and the Puppetmaster is all about that. I think Saki's craziness will involve the Funhouse being teased.
