This thread can be used to freely discuss the game up to the point where you receive the 'Twilight Rose' achievement / end the 'Capital Punishment' chapter. I like that it could only fit Capital Pun in the title.

You can feel free to post unmarked spoilers about this portion of the game in this thread.

...So.

Okay, this one came quickly. I wonder if the others will be thick and fast too? Not too much happened since last time.

Titan fight was fun, and I damn near beat it without taking damage. Almost! I wonder why our younger self (or someone who looked kinda like that) appeared to take him away. Them Ash people are sus as hell.

Torgal is even more awesome than before! Also, Gav brings a lot more fun to the fights than anyone else does. I'm glad he's actually fighting alongside us now. His constant "wtf" comments about Torgal were hilarious and on point for what we were all probably thinking, too.

Jill's starting to grow on me a little more as the game goes on. I still prefer Benedikta of the girls, but Jill being consistently around allows for a little... idk, steadiness? She still needs a bit more to her - as do all the characters, let's face it - but she's getting a bit more personality added in.

It's so weird that even now we're getting tutorials on things like enemies with Protect cast on them. I feel like this game has a longer tutorial period than FFXIII did and that one was so long it got meme'd on. Speaking of late tutorials and such, the Hunt board got unlocked really late, but I like the exp boost the hunts give. I still don't count it as a real minigame as it's still basically "go fight stuff". I'm sad at the lack of fishing, I really am. I was thinking at some point about how this game is like the Witcher, but without the fun parts. The fun parts are squeaking in a little lately but I still need some kind of genuine minigame to keep me chill between the n e v e r e n d i n g cycle of fight-cutscene-fight-cutscene-fight-cutscene-fight-cutscene-fight-cutscene-fight-cutscene-fight-cutscene-fight-cutscene.

Still, for now I have Gav making the game a bit more fun, Torgal being superpowered and Jill actually getting slightly (slightly!) fleshed out as a character. I'm having a bit more fun than I was before. It wasn't a high bar, but I'm glad to be able to laugh/smile in my head a little. Even Game of Thrones needed the fun between the morbid. Fingers crossed it continues a bit.

Something that happens very early into the next chapterOh my god please make Mid a party character, she's everything this group needs...
