QUESTION THAT NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER


Uh, okay, without spoiling me or anything, what's the major difference between the DSRK2 endings? I mean, unless it's impossible to tell me without spoiling me. Has anyone on my flist even beaten this game? If so, which ending was the best in your opinion? I have a feeling I'm going for the law ending at the moment, but I don't want to end up with a lame one. :C No actually I think I'd rather be chaos, buuut right now I'm neutral so it doesn't matter anyway. EITHER WAY, OPINIONS, FLIST-KUN.


SO. DAT RAIDOU. DIS GAME. I thought I wanted to be law at first, but man chaos is so much better of an option. FIGHT THE ESTABLISHMENT UP WITH PEOPLE and I mean, I am definitely going for the "see how much of a dick you can possibly be" ending in Nocturne, so. Although actually, from what I can tell so far the law alignment seems to be more dickish. Idk whatever, transvestite prostitutes.

And speaking of Nocturne, ahaha oh my god I actually don't remember where I am in the slightest. I know I haven't beaten Red Rider yet and I... think I am still in Asakusa. Y'know, the part where you get your bone on with Futomimi. That happens.

BUT YEAH ANYWAY I think the point of me saying this was that now that DSRK has a visible fandom (and I am... paying more attention to the Nocturne fandom idk) it's really interesting to me to see the ways that Raidou and Hitoshura are portrayed. I mean, with the exception of P2, all the MegaTen silent protagonists don't really have established personalities--or rather, in the case of Serph and Raidou and Hitoshura (and the older games that no one has played) you're only given small insights into what their personalities could potentially be like, though in some cases you can choose in a more kinda... outright manner like with Souji and Minato.

I tend to think of Hitoshura as being sort of... y'know, a huge dick? But I've also seen him portrayed, less commonly, as a scion of justice and all that shit, and it's an interesting take, because obviously it's not like he actually has some kind of concrete personality, so I don't really know exactly what it is that makes me think of him that way. And in the case of Raidou I... think of him as sort of the opposite of Hitoshura, concerned with ~*~*doing the right thing*~*~ and ~*~*being sexually awkward*~*~. I tend to think of it as like... WHERE ARE RAIDOU'S PARENTS YOU GUYS. He probably grew up around demons and talking cats and crotchety old men so I kinda doubt he's exactly well-versed in the arena of human interaction.

IIIIIDK TL;DR MY BUTT what is your opinion on this, flist-kun? I am genuinely interested in what kind of personalities other people think Raidou and Hitoshura (and Minato and Souji, for that matter) have.

Yeah, those were some words. In conclusion, I am going back to my Yukikikiko hair, as showcased by this charming picture (I was the drunkest drunk) only shorter and with actual Yukikikiko bangs. And I'll probably put a pink streak in, idk, dyke solidarity motherfuckers. Fuuuck I miss having long hair SO BAD but I hated it when it was long. :C

edit: OH MY GOOOODDDD WHY AM I SO AWAKEEEEE I HATE MY LIIIIFE. Thanks, Wellbutrin. Thanks. I GUESS I'LL CONTINUE THIS HITOSHURA/IZANAMI/RAIDOU FIC YUK YUK YUK. It is... it is a fic!

HaHASHLKSHAKLFSAJDFA AND I JUST MADE A RAIDOU 2 POST TOO COINCIDENCE MUCH

I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE GOING OMFG NOCTURNE WHILE PLAYING THIS ALSO I HAVEN'T FINISHED IT TOO AND I FEEL LIKE SUCH A LOSER AAAAAAAAA

OMG YOU GO FOR LAW, I GO FOR CHAOS, AND THEN WE CAN COMPARE NOTES

WHICH POINT ARE YOU AT BTW I AM RUNNING CIRCLES IN THE FINAL DUNGEON

Also, I'm with you on the HITOSHURA IS A DICK boat. But I guess he can be potentially ALL FOR JUSTIIIIIIIIIIICE

ALSO with you on the RAIDOU IS THE OPPOSITE OF HITOSHURA boat. Which makes Raidou vs. Hiroshura really, really interesting GOD I WANT THAT VERSION OF NOCTURNE SKDJSKDJKSFSKFJSKFJKD

AAAAAAAAAAAAA I WANT MANIAX CHRONICLE SO FUCKING BAD WHY CAN'T ATLUS LOCALIZE IT I mean I... I spent $50 on the Maniax one and the only real difference is that it has Raidou, but... I-I want it *A*

o gad you're right, it does make the whole Raidou vs. Hitoshura thing more interesting, because imo Hitoshura consciously makes the decision to shed the last vestiges of his humanity whereas Raidou, who works with demons and uses them as allies, is exactly the opposite and consciously retains his humanity. SOB I'M SUCH A MEGATEN FAG

Thank you ♥ Although my hair is a disgusting mess at the moment, because it is a shapeless mass of faded blue and purple and is really quite hideous!
gimme gimme.: i hate lesbians yukikikiko。[info]electricpower on June 15th, 2009 12:01 pm (UTC)
ohhh yeah and I'm at the beginning of chapter 4, I just had the Homosexual Smile-Time Variety Hour investigational meeting with Narumi.

I JUST WANT IT FOR RAIDOU, REALLY. I MEAN DANTE IS COOL AND ALL, BUT RAIDOU.

YESSSSSS MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY RAIDOU WOULD LOVE AND CODDLE HIS BABIES WHILE HITOSHURA, WELL. KANEKO'S ART SAYS IT ALL. (BUT IT'S FUN TO BE A MEGATENFAG)

PICTURES OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

akjdaksjdkasdk I can't even remember what happened in chapter 4 BUT I REMEMBER THINGS GETTING EXCITING AT THE END OF 5 AND THEN 6

DUDE MEG HI ARE YOU ME. AAAARE YOU ME. I am the same exact way. I just believe during Nocturne Hititstoshura gradually sheds his humanity and is the biggest troll ever. He's such a terrible gremlin. Although I think he's capable of being nice to his demons n' shit lives just don't mean anything. There is a facebook group called I HATE EVERYTHING BUT BEING DRUNK AND FUCKING and he is a member of it. I guarantee this.

And same exact things you said for Raidou too seriously. He's just an even split 50-50 of precious dumplingity and badassery. To me he's incredibly polite and well bred and repressed and does not want to discuss peepees and dingdongs. Except with Raido because they have the same one basically.


OH my god your long hair is so beautiful hi.
gimme gimme.: when the moon is round and full。[info]electricpower on June 15th, 2009 12:12 pm (UTC)
HAVEN'T WE ALREADY ESTABLISHED THAT I AM YOU? YES. ♥ Ohhh my god that is the best. I really honestly wish there was an ending in Nocturne called the "I HATE EVERYTHING BUT BEING DRUNK AND FUCKING" ending OH WAIT THERE PRETTY MUCH IS. Can I just... every fanfic I ever write with Hitoshura from now on is just going to involve him saying that and nothing else.

And yeah, I can see him making nice with his demons for his own purposes, but... clearly he is unafraid of pullin' weaves.

*A* li'l Raidou, such a product of the times. That's why I love Narumi/Raidou (and well Raidou/everyone but that especially) because Narumi's just like "well let's discuss my penis" and Raidou's like "w... what's penis". Tbh I'm shocked he even goes in the hot springs because he's 100% buttoned up nun-style the rest of the time. I guess that's why he keeps his hat on. HE'S PRETTY MUCH AKIHIKO I GUESS

Raido: s-so... have you... y'know... measured it
Raidou: y....... yeah
*EXTREME AWKWARD SILENCE*
Raido: y..... yeah

I MISS IT SO AHUSHUGAGDJG. I'm definitely going back to black and square bangs though, coloured hair is just too hard to upkeep :C

I HAVE A THEORY ABOUT HITOSHURA AND RAIDOU


Which mainly involves boning, boning and more boning, but also a semi-coherent comment on the inherent law vs chaos of their characters.

Fuck you Nocturne Chronicles, biggest cocktease everrr. Atlus USA should just bring home the dream.
gimme gimme.: YOU ARE NOT MY DAD[info]electricpower on June 15th, 2009 02:25 pm (UTC)
lmao that entry's f-locked and you haven't added me. |D

GOD. FATLUS. I SWEAR. "people in North America don't want Maniax Chronicle... or... P2: IS... huhuhu" >8C
DARLING ORIENTAL BOY: embarrased[info]amei on June 15th, 2009 02:38 pm (UTC)
Whoops. My bad my bad. Anyway that particular post isn't very illustrative of my theory, what was I trying to say. Oh yes Hitoshura/Raidou = instant boners.

Every time someone says 'But I don't want to pay full price for a model swap' wrt Maniax Chronicles I want to put my head out a window. MFY Raidou and Hitoshura in the same game!! What is there not to..I don't even... Besides I hear R gets Pierce which automatically makes him >>> Dante.

And don't get me started on IS. Sadfaces forever, that one.
