It’s all just so unrelentingly French. If I have to watch that man wiggle his head Frenchly one more time I’m not letting him dodge or parry for the rest of the game.

    Playing this game has been eye opening for me. Is this what people normal people feel like when they play Shin Megami Tensei or Yakuza or something?

    Because all the French stuff is everywhere and everyone keeps saying little French phrases I have to look up. And the player is just expected to understand and roll with it. Now I kinda get when a normal person is like “what the fuck is a senpai” or “what’s a golden week.” Stuff I always took for granted because I’m a weird obsessive about Japan. But I know jack shit about France except they eat snails and frogs and their president married a pedophile

    The game fucking rules though

      Probably, I remember Digital Devil Saga being an absolute ballache as a teen because most of the abilities have Japanese names and I had to work out what each element was called and what the prefixes and suffixes meant.
