Oh cool, thanks! I'll bring it up in staff since I have to study now and probably won't be able to cover it this weekend.

I'm pretty sure you don't even have to switch around party members if you don't want to in DDS 1 because they're all pretty much with you all the time, so you can just focus on your regular four, I think. I personally switched them around a lot and had no trouble, but you could be even stronger than that with a more focused approach, I think. Also, I really don't think I ever used the guns that much, so I think this game is manageable even if you don't upgrade your bullets regularly

But I am glad you're enjoying it! It certainly has one of the best MegaTen stories, IMO, especially as a complete duology. I also like that your decisions in this game matter in the second. The dungeons are really fun and I love the music. The main battle music sadly isn't that gripping, sadly. It does get an awesome boss remix in the sequel, though. I've noticed that DDS1 definitely has the better dungeon themes while DDS2 has the better battle themes. They complement each other nicely.

I think that's actually where my first playthrough ended Enjoyed the second one much more!

I'm going platonic in BGII this time, actually

But I mean it was just weird when Rise kept hitting on me in my first playthrough even though Yukiko was my girlfriend. Not to mention Yukiko was still behaving totally oblivious in story scenes despite the social link having ended. If there's less of that, if the game doesn't really try to ship anyone, I would be fine with no story integration.

Yes! That would be awesome. And I would love for the romance you choose to actually be reflected in the main story, but I'm not holding my breath.

Pity that there's no female protagonist option, though. But I agree, there is hope for a gay option and I'll be happy if there is one.

I have noticed that the characters look like they're very inspired by Innocent Sin and I like it! The protag is definitely a Tatsuya expy thanks to the whole delinquent thing, then Ryuji has a skull motif like Eikichi, Anne is the part-foreign girl that is blonde and blue-eyed, etc. Though there seems to be less animosity between Ryuji and Anne, so that's kind of cool, but yeah, the core personalities look similar. And then that kid from the other school even has bangs like Jun! I wonder if they'll go all-out and make him a full-on gay option this time around!

I will check it out then!

Also, just pre-ordered DQ VII! Yay!

Is it spoilery, though?

I'm kinda tired that both this and FFXV are getting anime tie-ins even BEFORE a game's release. I get the feeling that P5 is gonna be an even bigger cash cow than P4.

Ooh, cool! Thanks! I'll take a look at it tomorrow!
