![]() Hermelin with a villain who looks a lot like Yuriko from P1, and the third is a re-telling of SMT If where Tatsuya visits the high school from that game. ![]() ![]() : Given that most of the Great Old Ones more or less instantly cause anyone looking at them to go insane, it’s probably a good thing that he’s not in his true form. : “Guinea pigs!? Then what the hell are you!? Show us who you really are!” : This sounds like the most generic JRPG villain ever. You cling to fantasies by desperately rationalizing them.” An alien spacecraft will lead to you becoming gods? You guinea pigs are such fools. : “The crystal skulls and Xibalba are only a fragment of me, manifested by your kind’s yearning for such things. The worst part is, there’s several entities that would’ve fit the bill better. This kind of isn’t what Nyarlathotep does at all in the Cthulhu mythos: he just kind of exists to be a dick. : I really, really don’t understand why this isn’t an actual mythological being instead of Nyarlathotep. : “All human egos are born here and return here. What appear to be stars are what you call consciousness.” : “This is the place where the guinea pigs known as humans are born. : “Collective… what…? This isn’t outer space!?” : This is also why there’s the little detail in the Innocent Sin World Guide about how Katsuya wakes up at 4AM to make cakes that Tatsuya refuses to eat because Katsuya makes them too often. This is also supposedly why Tatsuya is a mute protagonist and kind of a delinquent. Dadsuya goes to jail and loses his job as a cop, which is why Katsuya is a cop even though he’s wanted to be a pastry chef his whole life. Sudou’s father, Tatsuzou Sudou (who at this point is a high-ranking government official and by EP is Japan’s foreign minister) bribes Dadsuya’s partner to fabricate charges against him. : The idea is that Tatsuya’s dad (who I’ll call Dadsuya for simplicity) was a cop who investigated the Alaya Shrine fire and subsequently arrested Tatsuya Sudou (which is why Sudou was put into a mental institution). Fortunately, I have backup saves but I’ll just summarize because there’s a bit to talk about with these next two scenes. : As it turns out (because I looked it up) you can actually find out about Tatsuya’s father in Innocent Sin, but it requires talking to an NPC at the police department who you’d have no reason to talk to otherwise. We never actually meet either of them, even in Eternal Punishment, though we do get a portrait for Tatsuya’s father in one of the additional scenarios in the PSP version of EP. That's actually why I bought it, personally, LOL.: We very briefly get a glimpse of Tatsuya’s father and Lisa’s mother. NGL though, I hope this game's popularity tells Nintendo on some level that there's a market for an Uprising remake/sequel. Because the characters strike a chord with people. I think that's why this game in particular is such a joyous fanart magnet. Both games are also kind of dysfunction junctions in regards to interpersonal relationships, but Supergiant's Hades is kinda unique in that, despite being a game set in the Underworld, a large part of the gameplay loop is actually dedicated to untangling that mess. This game doesn't focus on (sweet, wonderful) comedy like Uprising, but the characters aren't AFRAID of showing levity when the opportunity rises. Uprising is more like taking Disney's Hercules, cutting it with shonen anime, and doing lines.īut they have the important part in common, and that's that the characters are written with a legitimate sense of heart. Supergiant's Hades actually tries to be relatively loyal to the myths, diverging only once they've already covered most of the important points. Of course, it's a very different approach when it comes to adapting Greek mythology in practice. Click to shrink.That's actually why I bought it, personally, LOL.
