999 Magician cards. Still no Fool.

Btw have you heard this

(SPOILER)

I mean, it's nothing like I imagined from the contact, but it's pretty catchy

I actually got the material card for Hastur. I actually stumbled on how to get it pretty much by accident while still playing Innocent Sin. It was pretty amusing.

So far, I don't think I'll ever need more Magicians, Strengths, Moons, Worlds... I also have a couple hundred Free Tarot cards now which is pretty crazy.

I'll definitely do that when I get the chance. But since I've already spent so many hours learning what the demons want to hear in this area, I have to persevere. I mean, at least I end up with more cards anyway so it's a win anyway.

So my progress in EP has kind of halted because I've decided to stop and run around the Sanitarium a bit and get some Fool cards. And God damn. Pretty much all of my available arcana are in the hundreds (around 600 Magician cards, for example), and I still haven't gotten the fool question even once. I won't give up though. I've spent so much time on it that it'd feel like a waste if I just gave up.

I'm currently brainstorming my story idea and you can really tell it's me because so far it's really more depressing than scary

I have seen it. It's great with its slightly corny 90s vibe.

I don't really take issue with the style itself, since I do like the style on paper, I just don;t think it looks good with her face. The ponytail was the bomb. Btw, will Toro show up in EP? I liked how he was still around in IS and it seemed like he got over some stuff as well.

And yeah, the perspective on Katsuya thing is interesting, and I hope to see more stuff like that in the game. I also wonder what;s the deal with the Suou parents, as Katsuya did mention them being alive in IS, but it;s still implied he's actually taking care of Tatsuya. And then the Great Father included Tatsuya's dada as well, so I'd assume they have some form of daddy issues as well.

Can't wait to get Baofu since I did hear a lot of cool things about him. And he's apparently voiced by Richard Epcar? Color me intrigued.

Ah, okay then, so Katsuya is a good guy. Does Maya actually get a choice to romance him vs Tatsuya like Tatsu had in IS?

As I was playing IS, I decided I would be going for Nanjo since his role in that game was incredibly small while Elly got to help out a ton, so it only made sense to get him in the spotlight this time. But then I started EP and this Wang Long (hehehe) thing is a pretty big deal and apparently Elly's arc deals more with it? Dunno. Still leaning more towards Nanjo if only because I like his EP design a bit more. That bob really, really doesn't suit her.

Btw, am I correct in assuming that Tec and Agi are the best stats to invest in for Maya?

I don't get how he feels about cats at this point, tbh. Okay, so Helios took the form of a cat, which doesn't really make sense for Helios, the anthropomorphic representation of the sun, so I assumed it's just a reference to his personality and the fact that he likes cats. But then when he comments on it (something like "why a cat of all things?"), it seems like he actually dislikes cats? Intriguing. I hope this thread continues. I really need to know how Katsuya relates to cats because if he really doesn't like cats, I don't think he can be my boyfriend anymore.

Btw, enjoying the music a lot more so far! And I don't mean the old arrangements, because I think the remade soundtrack for both games is way better, but the battle theme, for example, is way better composed in EP, with much more interesting harmonies. It's no longer a single note in the baseline - there's actual phrases and the whole piece just logically comes together. I dig it.
