what made you like Tempest better than some other games (especially the ones people hold in high regard)?

in the end my attachment is always story based and completely subjective. (holds up the cast) i just like them! they’re neat!!! lukius bridges is one of the characters of all time, etc.

but! i do have. another reason, actually. tempest is VERY experimental in some ways and i love the amount of heart you can see in it because of that. the dev team was trying so hard and tried so many interesting ideas, and many of them AREN’T GOOD but like. they tried! they wanted to do something new! it’s interesting! and i cant help but be endeared by that, or wonder what a more fleshed-out implementation of some of these ideas might look like, because some of them aren’t even bad, they’re just badly implemented. (like comboing artes into each other in set ways to create a third arte, or limiting the amount of artes your npc party members can have enabled… are these good ideas? shrugs. they’re INTERESTING, thats for sure.)

...lol i mused a whiiiiiile ago that i was worried that rays-only people might have the wrong impression of lukius (in that he's a lot.... softer and better adjusted? in rays? bc he's post-canon...) but i see now that.

rays-onlys mostly conceptualize him in terms of his interactions with mercuria so they all just think he's kind of grumpy LMAO its just me having tempest knowledge and liking him and realizing hes cuter here...

like. i think the things im picking up on as "oh lukius is so soft in rays" are shit that like. you NEED tempest knowledge to think of these things that way...

Spoilers for Tales of the Tempesti joke about how quickly and enthusiastically lukius and caius end up... embracing being siblings but. the plot of that game just torpedos through ALL of their other living family members lol... it's no wonder they're so eager to embrace having a long lost brother...
