TELL ME YOUR EXPERIENCES... Do you usually wait until an arc is finished before canon updating? Or if the canon is like "oh god it's bad", do you usually stick to the canon point that you like playing that character
An example would be like... Say that you're playing Goku from OG DB (not DBZ) and you've been doing it for 2 years. So you feel pretty comfortable with how you've been portraying him up to that point
Iiiiiiii think it depends on the character. sometimes i want an earlier canon point, sometimes I just want one that is later on but where I don't need to worry about in-progress stuff. and sometimes it's just awkward to play from a later point if there is no mention of your character from the last few chapters/volumes and you have no effing clue what they
to be fair, we STILL don't know all the details of what really happened with him, Mana, and the Earl, but I basically had the benefit of playing him in a memoryloss game, so I could just kind of pick and choose what I left out
Then DBZ comes around and you learnt that he's actually an alien from race of space monkeys and he had a brother... Also his father was a cool dude who tried to solo a space tyrant one time
With Ritsuka, I usually wait to update her a whole Lostbelt at a time, rather than do it piecemeal, just because SO much happens in every main story chapter
I know that when I first started playing Accelerator I used earlier canon points but that was because a lot of the later volumes weren't translated. the translations dramatically affected how I played him cos we found out pre-brain damage Accelerator is very different from post-brain damage Accelerator
i know this p. much happened once i started playing niina at ryslig. the newest game came out and basically threw the anime she was in for a major loop because of the cosmology worldbuilding things.
so after the initial canon update for Accelerator to post-brain damage in CFUD, I just made a point of never canon updating him in any other game I had him. I just chose my preferred canon point well for any game I apped him to
I know someone who was playing Jack Vesalius from Pandora Hearts pre the HUGE reveal about him and iirc they had to just drop because it was so wild about the reveal
But frankly even if fgo pulls something really wild with Ritsuka at the end, I'm not very worried about it, because I'm just going one Lostbelt at a time
then NT9 happened....... where I go "JESUS CHRIST" and not only does he goes through a lot of deep shit, it was redefines who he is a character.... So it was a big change for him
I'm playing him from the second to last route in the game, but if I were to play Kotarou in another game, I would probably do post- Terra as long as he has his powers
I think the only other character I played that had a twist revealed about her was Yukizome Chisa, and I had already watched the whole of DR3 before I picked her up
curieosity。
/grips ur hands were you the accel in cfud?! I played index there during a fourth wall once and just wanted to say I really enjoyed your portrayal okaybye I was actually thinking of him just the other day cause I was listening to the new placebo album and remembered all his keywords were lyrics and how good that was.
I was in a game back in the day with someone who played. Heck. I can’t remember their name. But the long red haired character from black butler? And I remember they handled the trans reveal really well. Seamlessly, even. Appreciate thGRELL her name is Grell I remembered
I feel like I usually play protags who don't change too dramatically so they don't go from "nice humble person" to "murderous villain" in one canon update... Though it's fun to watch reactions in casts when that DOES happen
Playing a villain in RP can be a tricky affair especially if they're hiding their identity. Bonus points if the rp cast is in the know AFTER the reveal and you are playing before the reveal
that was me, during the height of Negima. and then I stopped caring for a while and then I had the same experience during PokeAni SuMo during when I was back in the saddle with Ash Ketchum
it was a wild ride to go from episode 20 of Index Season 1 BEFORE saving Last Order to.... damn, I don't remember the exact point I used but somewhere during what eventually got animated in Season 3
funniest thing of that was hyobu getting a surprise power update where he could do like 4 other powers but I pretty much stopped playing a bit after that so never really mattered
Imagine playing a sentient video game character, and then you get new info revealing she's actually an AI built by a company within a simulated reality to test whether the real world is actually a simulation.
Reminds me when I played Ange from Umineko back in its hayday and I had played from the end of Episode 4, so I was like "oh her story is probably over from here so I can do whatever"
at least when I played Erika, her character arc was finished in Episode 6 so I didn't have to worry about anything else... If I played her straight from Episode 8, she could've been rocking a wild pirate hat tho'
it's kind of hard to tell... I've had some wild shit go down in canons while I played from them, but it also was never in a bad way/something that would affect my playing negatively? I guess I've been lucky like that haha
