clonechildSo yesterday I started playing Magna Carta 2 again (further than the tutorial this time) instead of building my 3D Escher model, and... it's okay?
Honestly, my biggest problem with the game is the lazy texturing (and those trees in the Wild Forest, my god, they were just rectangles with a texture slapped on top of it) and I still suck at chain breaking, but I'll probably get better as I progress.
I do love the characters, though. Zephie is a wonderful mix between responsible, take-charge and assertive, and still being emotional enough that it makes her human. Crocell is my baby - the moment he introduced himself I loved him. He's such a troll. I love that Argo is soft-spoken and responsible rather than the big dumb brute. Celestine is far more tolerable than you'd think based on her design (also her crush on Argo. I love it okay).

Zephie's the one I'm most excited about, though. just. I think she's one of my all-time favorite versions of the Fighting Princess type -- she does think about being a leader, and try to take her responsibilities seriously, but she still has wants of her own. mmmf.
And yeah, chain breaking is one of those skills you have to practice a bit to get a feel for the timing. I'm still not great at it, but I'm getting better.

I am a bit surprised with how much I am shipping Celestine/Argo, though. It was just funny in the beginning (seriously, Crocell had a field day with that) but I just reached Belfort and mmm, they're so cute!
