I'm about halfway done playing Dragon's Quest VI, and I have a handle on the vocation system now. Might do an analysis of the game, since they'll be better when the game is fresh in my mind, but I want to do at least DQIII first to pick apart how the Dragon Quests with vocations evolved.
It occurred to me though that DQVI is a great example of a game that tries to sell an idea I also want to sell in my own DRPG. I didn't play it for research, I just wanted to, but in DQVI, you start with some vocations at first, but the advanced vocations are like combinations of lower ones. For example, the Paladin requires you master the Priest and Martial Artist first, Sage is a Mage/Priest, Gladiator is a Warrior/Martial Artist, etc.
There's a limited version of this in Dragon's Dogma where with three vocations, there's a "second level", though the clases are not prereqs for one another, but conceptually the Advanced and Hybrid vocations are classes combined with another class, or itself again.
Tumblr media
I also remember always seeing these fan-made class trees on Fire Emblem boards, they always stuck in my child brain for some reason (turns out they were all made by DarkMatter122 @ DeviantArt):
Tumblr media
So, between these examples and D&D multiclass builds, I've long loved the idea of mashing together RPG classes, classifying them, figuring out what the difference mechanically is between a wizard, a mage, a sage, a sorceror, and how many roles you can make before making the system redundant. How narrowly can a class deliver it's class fantasy while still having a niche, a reason to include that character in your party?
I was inspired to start work on my game after playing Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, and my game will also involve recruiting many party members and combining their skillsets to make new ones, but instead of monsters, I wan't to have the units represent RPG character archetypes, or builds. Whether it looks like fusion in SMT or some other method of skill inheritance remains to be seen, but I have some ideas.

DRPG - EVENT - Magic Cutie Piua~Piuas! / Magic Cutie Purity Party! / Magic Cutie Pure Heart! ☆ Make/Let the Sakura Bloom!
4/5 - Love's Miracle
Darktina's blow hit Love Oracle causing great damage. The fate of Love Oracle… what will it be?
It's For Oracle Too
Pure Sicily: Love Oracle!  Are you alright!? ...Huh?
Love Oracle: Heh, I'm fine, Pure Sicily.  I am a Magic Cutie after all.
Pure Sicily: L-Love Oracle...  You look...
Love Oracle: Eh...?  Is something wrong with my look-- Whooooaaaa...!?
Tumblr media
Darktina: Huh, through my power, you are now penniless... and that costume  has been collected as my property.
Pure Sicily: Dark Artina can even take costumes!
Pure Flonne: Wow... Such power is terrifying!
Darktina: Well, this is a chance for you, a fake who wears knock-off outfits, to see the error of your ways!
Takashi Boy: I did my best... To make it...  But I'm a fake after all... Uh...Aaarrrhhhhh!!
Pure Sicily: Hey, wait!
Pure Flonne: That's too far even by my standard! Darktina!  That's awful!  Apologize to Love Oracle!
Darktina: Lady Flonne... That again, you just keep asking me to do stuff...! I just want to  get this over with and relax!  Please don't interrupt me!
Pure Flonne: Ugh, looks like we have to free her  from the Dark Power after all.  Pure Sicily!
Pure Sicily: Understood. Uh, Miss Flonne.  Despite being a weirdo, Love Oracle's love for Magic Cuties could not be more real. He always tried so hard to help me, and anyone in need! I won't let what he did go to waste, and I'll definitely bring you back, Miss Artina!
Stage 1 - Delivering Love 1 Stage 2 - Delivering Love 2
Liberation, and...
Darktina: My servants...!?
Pure Flonne: Pure Sicily, now!
Pure Sicily: Yes!  The love power I received from Miss Flonne.  And the techniques I learned from Love Oracle.
Pure Sicily: I put them all into this punch!
Darktina: How can I, Darktina, be---
Pure Sicily: Let me tell you, Miss Artina.  No, Dark Artina.  Magic Cuties --- Will always win in the end!!!!
Darktina: Kyahhhh... Ugh...  I was...
Pure Sicily: Miss Artina!  How do you feel? Are you back to normal?
Darktina: Sicily...? I see...  Your love dispelled the darkness  that was controlling me.
Pure Flonne: Darktina, I was so worried about you!
Darktina: D-Darktina...  Oh, how embarrassing...  In front of everyone like that...
Pure Sicily: That was not the real you.
Darktina: I remember everything.  And I was a little more assertive, which was kind of pleasant. But I feel sorry for those who became desperate because of my evil money collecting... I didn't expect such power  when I was transformed...
Pure Sicily: It's not your fault Miss Artina.  It's all because of Miss Flonne  who imbued you with love power all of a sudden.
Pure Flonne: I was trying to  ease Artina's fatigue!  But I'm really sorry...
Darktina: No, I'm sorry  that I wasn't able to  control my emotions.
Pure Sicily: But, why was Miss Artina the only one  whose negative emotions were heightened?
Darktina: Well...
Demon Penniless: Budget... Delivery Date... Cost...  Give it to me...
Pure Sicily: Why!  Miss Artina has come back to her senses, why are these demons still possessed?
A voice: That's because I gave them my power!
Stage 3 - Collecting from the Demons 1 Stage 4 - Collecting from the Demons 2
Enemies Yesterday, Friends Today
Pure Sicily: You are Love Oracle!?
Love Oracle: Heh heh. I went back home for a change, and was worried if I could make it in time.  But it seems the timing was just perfect.
Pure Sicily: Love Oracle, thank goodness  you are okay!
Darktina: Wait, Sicily.  Love Oracle just said  "My Power."
Pure Flonne: Yes.  What's that supposed to mean?
Love Oracle: Hmhmhm, I was wrong.  I thought that Darktina's dark power  was something evil. But I didn't realize it was  so empowering and wonderful!
Pure Sicily: So...
Pure Flonne: Apparently, he was possessed  by Darktina's power.
Darktina: *Sob* Sorry...
Love Oracle: You don't have to apologize. I'm rather grateful actually.  You gave me the power  of a true Magic Cutie!
Pure Sicily: Love Oracle!  Have you forgotten  the Magic Cutie techniques?
Love Oracle: I don't need them anymore!  I'm going to steal the love from everyone in the Netherworld  and become a real Magic Cutie this time!
Pure Sicily: How could you!?
Love Oracle: I'll show you guys.  A glimpse of my power!
Demon Loveseeker: Give me love.  What is love?  Anyway~ I don't care.
Pure Flonne: Apparently Love Oracle's  dark power is making them  even more violent!
Darktina: Lady Flonne, Sicily.  Let me make amends for all the trouble I've caused.
Pure Sicily: Miss Artina?
Darktina: I will join your fight  and restore Love Oracle's sanity!
Pure Sicily: Okay!  Let's dispel the dark power  of Love Oracle together!
Stage 5 - vs. Love Oracle Boss - Love Oracle: I'm going to show you my new powers!
Magic Cutie Reborn
Love Oracle: Guh, it's getting tough  with Darktina in the mix. I need to steal more love  and be the most powerful Magic Cutie!
Pure Sicily: Love Oracle, wait!
Pure Flonne: He's gone.
Darktina: I'm really sorry.  It was all my fault...
Pure Sicily: Didn't I tell you?  It's not Miss Artina's fault.  You are also a victim.
Pure Flonne: *Sob* It's my fault to have imbued you  the power of love on a whim... Sorry...
Darktina: No, you don't need to apologize to me, Lady Flonne...
Pure Sicily: Well then, Miss Artina.  Join us and fight as a Magic Cutie, Miss Artina!
Darktina: As a Magic Cutie?
Pure Flonne: That would be great!  We had some great coordination  in the fight earlier! I fought to make up for my mistakes before.  But now, as Magic Cuties, let's fight to  save Love Oracle!
Pure Sicily: Yup! Magic Cuties help those  in need with love and hope!
Darktina: I see.  Magic Cuties are  very loving beings. I see.  I, as a Magic Cutie, will save Love Oracle with you two!
Pure Flonne: Oh! A former enemy Magic Cutie becomes an ally  thanks to the power of love! What an amazing development! Now, instead of Darktina, you are Pure Artina...  It's Puretina!
Puretina: Puretina...  It's kind of embarrassing, but I'll do my best!
Pure Sicily: Alright, let's find  Love Oracle!

End of the Year 2023: Games of the Year!
Honorable Mentions:
Mortal Kombat 1
Tumblr media
I like the story mode this game has in it, I thought it was a very entertaining eight hours. Problem is I just really don't like the way the actual fighting game itself plays. Perhaps my instinct for fighting games has been tainted from playing anime fighters and Street Fighter 6, but I just find the controls in Mortal Kombat 1 to be frustratingly slow for my liking.
Final Fantasy XVI
Tumblr media
Another game whose story I am just loving to pieces, but there's just small annoyances in the gameplay that really stops me from putting it on the list. That and I've not completed the story, and I've begun to not put RPGs that I haven't finished on my year end lists because that can come back on me in a most irritating way. Cough, Pathfinder, cough. It mystifies me that people can play this game and come away with the idea that this is the worst games they played all year. I enjoy this a whole hell of a lot, I just don't feel right about letting it on the list since I haven't finished it.
The winners of the prestigious awards I don't have:
10: Hammerwatch II
Tumblr media
I am not immune to hyperbolic statements. Sometimes I'll read a statement that just knocks the wind right out of me for its audaciousness, especially when it's a needlessly combative statement comparing two games to each other. A writer for PC Gamer, I believe, did a preview for Hammerwatch II where he compared it to Diablo 4 and just raked D4 over the coals while talking about how Hammerwatch II was what he wanted from it. I played the demo and thought it was a nifty little game. I had never played the original Hammerwatch so I couldn't compare it, but I liked what the demo offered me. It's a very fine time waster game, much as that might sound like an insult. I think it's a good game to play to just sort of keep my hands busy while doing other stuff. It's a nice little ARPG, and I think it's a fun game to just mess around in.
09: Demon Lord Reincarnation
Tumblr media
For the longest time, even while playing it I kept thinking the games name was Demon Lord Resurrection. I don't know what it is but something in 2023 just reignited my love for Dungeon RPGs (DRPGs, or Blobbers as they're apparently known, for some reason), I was spoiled for choice this year Wizardry came out with two games, and then I saw this. I was instantly drawn by its delightful lo-fi aesthetic, the crunchy look of its low resolution late eighties graphics style. I love a good strictly monochrome visual style, and I was highly impressed by this game. It's a challenging DRPG, a surprisingly straightforward one that's not weighed down with pretension. Despite its relative simplicity I also found it a game that is extremely emotionally draining because of how captivated I found myself getting by the plights and trials of my small bands of doomed adventurers. Outside of a sentence when you recruit them there's nothing really to endear you to the characters, but it kept happening to me every time. I would beam with satisfaction and pride when they manage to scrape through a tough fight. I would become extremely morose when a total party wipe happened. It was a surprisingly touching game, and I wonder if the the emotional experience would have been lessened if the game had been slightly less monstrously cruel?
08: Amnesia: The Bunker
Tumblr media
Cards on the table here I didn't expect to actually play this game. I've played past Amnesia games and I haven't really liked any of them so I wasn't particularly sold on going back to the Amnesia well for another chance to be let down. I'm glad I did though because this is a very fun, surprisingly tense game to play through. It is also a source of massively untapped, but extremely great comedy as well. In the game during your exploration of the bunker you find yourself in you come across hand grenades and a bevy of locked doors. The game lets you know early on that you can break locked doors. So with no idea where to go, or what to do, I decide to use the grenade as a lockpick. I throw the thing at the door when the monster who hunts you down throughout the game rounds the corner right next to the door. My grenade bounces off his face, and detonates. Me and the monster have similar thoughts and immediately run back the way we came away from the explosion. It was such a funny experience, it really made me appreciate the game more.
07: Dead Space
Tumblr media
Confession time here as well: I didn't think Dead Space remake was going to be any good. Can't really justify why, I just went about my life hearing about the remake and just sort of internally groaning at the idea of playing it. It's Dead Space, the series doesn't stand out in my memory as particularly great, this remake sounds like a waste of time and effort, etc. etc. But time rolls on, and I decide what the hell, I'll give it a whirl. I quite liked it, and it makes for a really interesting comparison of remakes when you look at it next to Resident Evil 4. They seem to have taken off some of the rougher edges and just made the remake a more tightly put together experience. I find the idea of one day these guys getting to remake Dead Space 3 to be an interesting thought experiment. On its own however, I think Dead Space (2023) is a very fine time, and I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a good horror shooter. Especially if you have access to a time machine, and an Xbox Series X and buy it when it was on sale for the ridiculous price of $5.
06: Armored Core 6
Tumblr media
Tis very fun building your customized robot and seeing how it performs combatwise against some of the biggest jobber enemies in the universe and some of the cruelest, most vicious opponents that can be put in a game. This game made me realize something about myself. The cruelest thing a game can do is plant the seed in my head that my plans can work. I will throw myself against the wall repeatedly far past the point of reason if I think a plan of action can work for a given situation. If it had the decency to just kill me and prove that I need to revise my plans early on I would absolutely do so. But if I can get a boss down to the last third, or quarter of its life bar I will keep trying this same plan again and again. Only I'll do so slightly harder. If you played the game you probably think I'm talking about the usual suspects that have arose from the controversy surrounding this game, but as far as I've seen I'm the only one who really had an issue with the boss I fought for multiple hours (the boss of the mission: Intercept the Red Guns). Never before has privatized corporate warfare looked so visually stunning. So all that said, I think you should get in the robot. Because we dig giant robots. Incidentally people who complain about giant robots being "unrealistic" are very annoying.
05: Class of 09 (and Class of 09: The Re-Up)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just goes to show the power of becoming somewhat popular on Twitter I suppose. Never heard of these two games until someone I follow on Twitter reposted some scene from The Re-Up, and then I got intrigued in what the game was actually about. I was expecting a rather low effort western developed VN where they would brag about how unlike those silly other VNs this one is about the plot. I didn't expect the funny ha ha visual novel about a teenage sociopath to actually affect me emotionally, or to have some pretty relevant and deep messages about society in a way that doesn't really beat you over the head with its message. I'm counting these as one game because there really isn't much that's different between entries, and it works really well as a double act.
04: Pizza Tower
Tumblr media
To be completely honest with you when I first heard of Pizza Tower I was not impressed. I didn't care for it, it didn't look good, and so I wrote it off and moved on with my life. Somehow, some way it dug its claws in, eventually I take another look at it, "that could be fun," I say to myself. Unfortunately this was at a point where I wasn't willing to gamble on buying things, so I went to websites of ill repute and acquired it. I played a couple levels, and I'm struck with an intense feeling of "it's fine." But in November I was compelled to give it another shot, and this time it really stuck with me. Just as a pure gameplay experience I greatly enjoyed my time with Pizza Tower. Just running through the levels on the purest base level is great fun, but eventually the game starts filling your mind with the idea of trying for these higher skill level attempts. Maybe you could make your run through a level just a touch better than you'd done it previously.
03: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Tumblr media
Nioh set in the Three Kingdoms period in China. The process of game development is a fascinating mystery to me, you spend multiple years making these elaborate things that must fire off just so, that the slightest mishap can doom weeks or months of development time. Eventually you get so adept at the process you're able to bang out these large hundred hour games on a near yearly basis. Wo Long takes the formula of Nioh that has been tinkered, and improved upon in Nioh 2, Stranger of Paradise and releases this, fundamentally the ultimate distillation of the process. I love this game, I love the general feel of the gameplay, the hamminess of the voice acting, it all just comes together in a beautifully crafted and wonderful experience. I know it will never in a million years happen, but it's my earnest hope that Blizzard one day taps Koei Tecmo to make a Diablo version of these games. But as it stands I will be more than happy to replay this game to get my fill of a level-based Soulslike. It works well to differentiate it, because not every damn game needs to be an open-world experience.
02: Resident Evil 4
Tumblr media
I admit to a certain wariness when this remake was announced. How far is Capcom willing to take this concept? What will they do when the time inevitably comes for them to remake Resident Evil 6? Or after that, will they remake RE7? Start the process over again? Also I feel a certain dread because they keep putting these out on a yearly basis, something's got to give eventually. Anyway I have a tremendous amount of love for the RE4make, it is such an utter delight to play that I've done gone through multiple times in 2023 alone. Which astounds me, because much as everyone claims the original Resident Evil 4 as one of the all time greats I was never the biggest fan. I prefer the remake of the first Resident Evil myself. And the release of the Separate Ways DLC was such a masterful shot in the arm that it improved what I feel was already a nearly perfect game. Also not to derail the conversation too much, but I don't understand people who say Resident Evil 4 shouldn't be in consideration for a GotY (from more popular sources) because it's a remake. It's a silly thing to try to exclude the game over. That said, given what they've learned from Resident Evil 7, 8, and the remakes I think Resident Evil 9 just might be the pinnacle of the series when that comes out in 2025.
01: Baldur's Gate III
Tumblr media
I bought Baldur's Gate III back when it first came out in Early Access. I never really planned on playing it during that period, but I know how it goes with Early Access games, the price always goes up, and I wanted in on the cheap. The thought was I would play the first two Baldur's Gates in the meantime to get myself good and prepared for the sequel made decades later by a completely different company. I never did, the two versions of the originals still sit unplayed in my GOG account. Well maybe like a minute was played to verify they would actually run, but you get my point. I went into this thinking it would be fine, nothing particularly groundbreaking, but a decent enough adventure. I was not prepared for how the game completely obliterated my expectations. Just the sheer size and scope of the interactivity is mind boggling to me, the fact they have seemingly planned for every stupid and wild idea the playerbase could come up with astounds me. You don't need me to tell you why Baldur's Gate III is good, hell odds are you've probably played it yourself. I just think it's really commendable how the folks at Larian seem to just have accommodated every single type of person with something in this game that would just sink its hooks in them.
Also have you seen Minthara?
Tumblr media
I mean, come on.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
How could she not win this award?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Plus now they've made it so cowards can recruit her, so everyone gets to delight in her magnificent radiance.

DRPG - EVENT - GET BACK! CAT CAFE CRISIS
3/5 Association for Feline Rights
Before everyone knows it, the cats have escaped from the cafe!? Where have the cats gone!!
New Friends
Virunga: Krgh... What should I do...? What the hell should I do?! My cats... They are gone!! What a nightmare!!
Etna: What nonsense!
Barbara: These problems just won't stop coming.
Etna: Who do you think is the one to blame?!
Virunga: Grgh... What should I do?! Those cats may run into danger in the Netherworld...!
Barbara: That's really a huge problem. All right. I'll do my best to save those cats.
Etna: Heh, for the sake of cats, you've even learned how to think. You're not that incompetent after all.
Xenolith: We must hurry up. Though it's safe here, we don't know what awaits outside. Anything could happen.
Etna: You do care about the cats. You said you wanted to investigate this cat cafe, but you actually wanted to see those cats, right?
Xenolith: ...It's not like that.
Etna: Were you just blushing? Come on, be honest! You're a cat person.
Xenolith: D-Don't be ridiculous. I wasn't blushing.
Virunga: Hey, you two! This is not the time for chitchat. We should focus on the cats!
Etna: Okay, okay. It's for the dessert coupon, too. Let's go!
Xenolith: Please, wait for me. I will…
Stage 1 - Chasing the Cats 1 Stage 2 - Chasing the Cats 2
Cat Lover or Not
Barbara: Xenolith.
Xenolith: What's up?
Barbara: I heard your conversation with Etna. You like those cats, too, right?
Xenolith: No, I didn't say that.
Etna: Really...? But it's written all over your face.
Xenolith: What? [Player], do you have a mirror? I've got to check where it's written.
Etna: Oh, come on, I was kidding. Don't be so rigid.
Cat: Meow…
Etna: Ah, here you are. Hurry up and come here.
Cat: Meoooowww!
Virunga: They sure look on edge.
Etna: Why?! I was just calling their names!
Xenolith: I'll never hurt you. Just relax  and come here, all right?
Cat: Meow!
Barbara: You're getting along well with cats, Xenolith.
Etna: Though I've no intention to win their favor... This makes me feel like a loser.
Xenolith: Relax and hold them gently in your arms.  They won't scratch you. Here. Do you want a try?
Etna: H-Hey?!
Xenolith: See? You've done well. Maybe this cat has felt you have a gentle soul deep inside your heart.
Etna: Huh!?  You dare talk such nonsense again, I'll skin you alive!! Tch... I can't even beat him up while holding a cat.
Virunga: That Association for Feline Rights. Why did they break into my cat cafe and take away my cats...?
A voice: We did that for cats! Cats deserve freedom! Cats deserve rights!
Xenolith: Who is that?
A voice: This is your chance, my cats! Take out all of your hatred and make them pay for enslaving you all the time!
Cats: Meeeeeoooooww!!
Stage 3 - Precise Instruction 1 Stage 4 - Precise Instruction 2
Clashing Forces
Rainier: Hey! You caught them without hurting them. That was impressive you guys.
Barbara: As I suspected, that's Rainier.
Rainier: Alas, you're here too Barbara.
Barbara: You're behind all this, right?
Rainier: Yes. I'm the president of the Association for Feline Rights!
Virunga: So it was you who took the cats out of the cat cafe!
Rainier: That's correct. You're an angel, yet you force these cats to work at your cat cafe and profit from them! Have you ever cared about them?!
Virunga: Hmmm?! You've made a good point! But it takes money to run this cat cafe!
Etna: What a brazen statement.
Barbara: Speaking of that, Rainier. When did you become so fond of cats? You never told me.
Etna: Sounds suspicious to me, too. You don't really care about the cats, do you?
Rainier: Heh, you're indeed a splendid vassal of the Prince. Of course. I don't give a damn about those cats. Don't you know? Cat cafes are a trend in the Human World, and even in  Celestia and the Netherworlds too. Cats have made people their servants. What magical creatures.
Etna: Yeah, it surprised me as well to see everyone get infatuated with them. I totally understand what you mean.
Rainier: So I came up with an idea. I intended to help them conquer all the Netherworlds in my stead. And then I'll be the mastermind behind all the Cat Overlords… This is called  "Cat Overlord Netherworld Conquest Plan".
Xenolith: So you are using these cats after all!
Barbara: Ah. I know what I must do now. We must stop you and your evil plan, Rainier.
Rainier: You want to stop me? Then show me what you've got!
Stage 5 - Project Cat Overlord
Boss - Rainier: I need my cat!
The Influence of Cats
Rainier: This is not over yet! I won't let you ruin my magnificent plan!
Barbara: And I won't let you exploit these adorable cats. Even though we're sort of friendly, Rainier, I'll stop you for the sake of these adorable cats!
Rainier: I didn't expect you, a demon who wouldn't do anything until given an order, would actively fight for cats. Cats do work miracles!
Xenolith: As the leader of the Association for Feline Rights, you should do whatever it takes to protect the rights of cats.
Virunga: You lack the true love for cats. You really should get to understand how lovely cats actually are.
Etna: *Sigh* You talk about cats all the time.  You're really excited about cats! But since this is for my dessert coupon, I'll join the party, too!
Prinny: Stop it, dood!!
Etna: So, Prinnies this time?!

DRPG - EVENT - NETHER ATTRACTION! LOVE LAB'S HUSTLING
5/5 A Nearby Trump Card
Unable to find any new cast members, the Love Laboratory crew can't see a way forward. Sinister forces are focused on Rozalin!
Sweet Flash of Inspiration
Sweet Omega: Ulitimately, I guess he didn't put on new elements, and didn't join the male cast either.
Tria: I should have brought in Fenrich and Valvatorez...
Merome Romero: Mr. Mid-Boss.
Rozalin: Darn. If only I had a plan.
Tria: Master, you shouldn't fret over it. We had no business asking you in the first place.
Sweet Omega: Yeah. Tria is right. What could you do, Master... Master? That's right! Master!
Rozalin: Hmm? What about me?
Sweet Omega: Tria, Merome! Listen up! Garble garble garble garble, garble garble garble garble.
Tria: Huh?! Now that you mention it...
Merome Romero: You're right! The key is Master!
Stage 1 - The Master Is the Key!
A Lethal Weapon for Attracting Customers
Rozalin: I'm the key, you say?
Merome Romero: Yes, Master!
Tria: Regardless of the main story or event, Master Rozalin is a super popular heroine with a top-class appearance rate!
Merome Romero: If we rope Master into the Laboratory, our chances to appear will necessarily shoot up!
Sweet Omega: We'll be able to wear new costumes, and the Love Laboratory will be a great success with lines of people. This is it! The last resort to get visitors!
Rozalin: Wh-what?!
Tria: Hihihi! Who would have thought that a lethal weapon would be so close to us!
Merome Romero: How careless of me! So, Master? Will you join us in livening up the Laboratory?
Sweet Omega: Of course, [Player] will help us too, right?
The three members of the Love Laboratory are intent on including us, and they're looking this way! I don't think we can say no!
Rozalin: H-Hey! You guys wait! Don't look at me like that! Hmm, what should I do...
Adell: Are you alright, Rozalin?!
Stage 2 - A Nearby Last Resort 1 Stage 3 - A Nearby Last Resort 2
Overwhelming Heroine
Adell: Are you alright, Rozalin?!
Rozalin: A-Adell?! What are you doing here?
Adell: I heard you and [Player] got involved with the Love Laboratory people. I thought you would be safe as long as [Player] is here, but I was still worried...
Rozalin: Adell... So you came to help!
Sweet Omega: Wow, a hero coming to help at just the right time?!
Tria: Of course, the Evil God of Love! It's overwhelming heroine element!
Merome Romero: I can't give up! I will absolutely get Rozalin to join the Love Laboratory!
Adell: Join the Love Laboratory?! What is that about, Rozalin? Are you too going to do a love event?
Rozalin: D-don't misunderstand, Adell! I have no intention of joining the Laboratory. The only love event I'm doing is just for you, Adell.
Sweet Omega: We want to fix that! We're fine with just being with you, Master and living our lives normally! Just a short while! Ok?! Just until the Love Laboratory gets off the ground! A limited time only!
Tria: That's right! Please help us out!
Merome Romero: Please! Even a Netherworld new comedy theater would be ok!
Rozalin: You people are too desperate, don't you think?
Adell: You seem to really have your backs against a wall, but I think you should calm down a little. Please, [Player]... Help me stop them!
Stage 4 - Vs. Love Laboratory
Advertising Wasn't Built in a Day
Adell: Unbelievable... Once you've had your fill of this, don't run wild, ok?
Sweet Omega: S-Sorry... I promise I won't anymore!
Tria: Ah, Adell... You always like to battle.
Merome Romero: I'm sorry, everyone. I just want to protect the Laboratory...
Rozalin: It's ok, the three of you. I was surprised, but I'm not angry. I'm quite impressed with you, actually.
Sweet Omega: Master...
Rozalin: Ultimately you didn't come up with a plan, but you sought out a path on your own, and worked hard to protect the Laboratory. You go about the love events sincerely, and continue to polish them single-handedly. That is your weapon. If you each work to improve in the area you are good at, and steadily continue your activities, the result will appear on its own.
Sweet Omega: Master... I think you might be right.
Tria: We should develop our strong suits. That might be the quickest shortcut.
Merome Romero: Understood, Master! We will continue to work so that we too can attain heroine power like you!
Sweet Omega: If that's the case, we've bolstered our situation! WE'll aim for great success and polish our skills.
Adell: I don't know what happened, but it looks like the issue is settled. I'm glad.
Rozalin: Oh yeah, Adell. The scenario I saw with Sweet Omega and the others... I wanted you too to do it...
Adell: Scenario? Well of coutse, since you're the one that's asking... But I'm not that good?
Rozalin: Don't worry! I've thought of the perfect scenario that you too can do, Adell! First! There are two roles. One is a student transferring into a school who was originally my steward and who followed me when I left home and the other role is a teacher...
Adell: That's impossible?! What's going on?! Hey, [Player]! Explain to me what happened!
Stage 5 - Laboratory Training Continues
Boss - Rozalin: I've thought of the perfect scenario!
Stage 6 - Extra+ (HL) Stage 7 - Extra+ (EXP) Stage 8 - Extra+ (1⋆)
