This isn't necessarily criticism but I'm curious on your thoughts on the direction of the game after chapter 2 and whether you enjoyed how it ended up deviating from the formula it set. Stuff like having a main overarching boss, new lighteners included in dark worlds, secret bosses similar to jevil/spamton, etc.

imo i like that they broke away from the formula but there were some aspects from chapter 2 that i missed

Most discussion about the next dark world location hinges on the fact that Noelle will likely make one in an effort to save her dad, which I agree with. Rudy falling down is a BIG deal, not just because of the double meaning, but because he's likely only holding on by a thread at this point. But that doesn't mean it has to be at the hospital.

For families dealing with a loved one who is nearing the end of their life, it's common for them to move their loved one back to their home. It can give them some sense of comfort and familiarity. And Carol "keeps everything important at home" Holiday would almost certainly be on board with it.

The holiday house also generally has a lot more "dark world potential" than the hospital. Plus, we still don't know the full guitar code anyway. I'm almost fully convinced this will be the next dark world location, but I admit we can't say for 100% certainty yet.

Been hearing different answers and would like something concrete, thank you ^^

In my opinion, I can understand the idea that these serve as pseudo rewards in their own right, being used in a pinch or to take out more difficult cogs. And often times one is enough to take out a whole row of cogs.

But because of the tediousness of getting them back (especially if you use multiple at once), you will have people understandably hold onto them, because you might just need them later for a more difficult situation.

Whenever the topic of Tetro comes up nowadays (it pops up every now and then in the fangan space), people are quick to call the entire thing garbage and poorly written. And I gotta say that this was not the common sentiment at all back when the series was airing regularly, and I heavily disagree with this notion.

Sure, chapters 3 and beyond of Blue have been criticized heavily for going off the rails, and I would agree with this. But The first two chapters were still solid, with Chapter 2 being a highlight for me. And Tetro Pink, despite its many flaws, was also enjoyable as well.

Tetro was a unique spin on the DR formula, and it wasn't afraid to tackle heavier topics and themes (even if it handled them poorly many times). Characters were extremely flawed in a multitude of ways, but that's what made them so interesting to me. No protagonist that we are glued to was also a nice change of pace, and it allowed for more dynamics to be explored between different characters. And I loved the morning games the cast would have to put up with each chapter (would love if more fangans incorporated this!!!)

While it is for the best Tetro ended when it did, I think what we did get was very enjoyable and is one of my favorite fangans next to eden's garden (RIP)
