[OOC] The War of the Three

@The 42nd Gecko
The sword can't really retroactively revert causality like that. If it did, then Artoria would never have been in that fight, Eos would never have had to use that attack, and therefore Artoria would still exist. But then, because Artoria exists, it would also not exist. Which then logically means that they do exist, etc.

Effectively time and space would be caught in a broken code loop.

Also, I imagine it would be a pain making all the tiny retroactive adjustments necessary to indicate what would have happened if Artoria had never existed.

@Lonewolf685 I'm on C in Automata, and that's where everyone told me it starts really getting awesome, but I'm not enjoying myself. I get to choose between playing "I have attitude problems" or "My gameplay sucks", and the plot twists seem really predictable. "Hmm... All these people just started dressing up in Nazi uniforms, I wonder if they're going to turn evil. OH WHAT A SURPRISE, THEY TURNED EVIL."

[Lonewolf685]

@The 42nd Gecko

Trust me you want to push through and finish C. Then once you do that you get the chapter select option, so you can jump straight to finale and get ending D. When you have both on the same save file, only then do you get the complete ending after dealing with the soul crushing difficulty of the true finale.

A2's attitude gets better. And trust me, you won't complain about 9S' hacking when you realize how easy he makes some of the bullet sponge enemies die.

Having done the first game I saw the plot twists coming since it's a lot of the same story beats, but without the same depth of character as Kaine, Neir, Emil, and Weiss had.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lonewolf685 I know exactly how 9S makes the gameplay. He skips it. The combat is the only thing I'm playing for at this point, with how boring the story has gotten, and 9S's power is to skip combat by pressing Y.

@The 42nd Gecko

Well if you got to A2 you're probably far enough to predict things. And since I min maxed damage the final boss was kind...broken. Had to wait on a timer for the phases to transitions because I'd cut down it's health too quickly for it to register.

How far are you? Did you finish Pascal's quest line with A2?

[KoL]

Hmm... If Artoria and everything she ever did was deleted (everyone's reversing the transfromations), wouldn't that mean Ira and Victoire would still be in Hildr's clutches?

@The 42nd Gecko

Actually, it's just as I mentioned before. People are sure that these things happen and that someone did it, but no one can remember who was it, no matter how hard they try. This includes any recorded proof of Artoria ever existing, and any thing at was unmistakably hers ceasing to exist as well, but —for example— if she had a child, said child would keep on existing, but be utterly unable to recall anything about their mom.

Really, it's just like what happens when one's Power of Existence is totally consumed on Shakugan no Shana. The world itself simply refuses to acknowledge that you existed, but causality can't be reversed. Or so it should be.

[The 42nd Gecko]

@Lonewolf685 Nah, just beat the desert boss and went.. "Why am I still playing?"

[Lonewolf685]

@The 42nd Gecko

Ah, the dessert one. Yeah he was pretty much filler, though right after that is when A2 starts developing when she meets up the with the resistance and Pascal.

Not going to lie, 9S gets an infuriating dungeon based around Hacking to deal with, but beyond that things do pick up,

But hey, if it's not to your liking I'm not going to harp on you. To each there own.

[Gardevoiran]

Ding dong bing bong ya' boy is a lot more sober from his wisdom teeth removal than he was yesterday.

I'm ready to continue whatever is happening, whenever it happens.

Edit: Little does everyone know that when Artoria can be brought back, the Frog will be on the front lines to get her back.

@Banana

Don't worry, you may get this chance quite faster than you think. Though, everything has a price.

Before that happens, I just want to use the next battle to squeeze some feels. 'cause it's fun, hehehe.

[KoL]

"Eos did it? That's why I can't remember them?! Ohhh, if that doesn't make my anger for the Machina grow!"

@Banana

Eos: "Come and get some."

But seriously, try to not push things too far. The Demon PCs are almost crossing into metagame territory because of Artoria. It's beginning to annoy me, to be frank.

That wasn't our fault that she got annihilated, so try to not push the boundary of what behavior is acceptable too much.

@KoL

Do you need to take your happy pills?

[Gardevoiran]

@KoL
Noted. Sorry about that, still a bit drugged on painkillers.

Speaking of those... it's time for another!

@KoL

What exactly do you mean by metagame territory?

@floodtalon

Ignore it. KoL just needed their happy pills.

[Lucius Cypher]

You know when Windel mentions to forget about something, we're one step closer to ULTIMATE POWA!

And what sort of demons would we be if we didn't mindlessly pursue power no matter the cost?

Before anyone says anything;

Yes, if you recognize the armor, you know what they do. No need to inform the people who don't~

Well, good thing I didn't want to use Cydone and Alexi is on team Machina. They'd both bounce like Miyu off those suits.
