2nd Day of reverse 1999, some thoughts on chapter 2, Not complete

Story / Lore

• writing is incredibly well
• main character starts with amnesia but remembers
• main character has a personality
• story sometimes hard to understand, most of the time I can understand what is going on
• clues are a little confusing for me, like whats going
• what was the abnormality in the first chapter? was it the rain?
• Miss Druvis not recognizing characters, was she under a spell or did she not get a good look because of the mask?
• sometimes I just want to go to the story and not the hints
• completed Part 14, Chapter 2

Characters

• Sonetto is very cute and earnest
• Sotheby is growing on me, I feel bad for her, that she doesn’t have friends
• Apple character is very cool, I didn’t think I’d like a character like this this much
• most unique characters I’ve seen in gacha games
• I really like all the character accents
• lady with black dress and blue hair, I like her accent and is really pretty
• characters have so much personality through their voices
• Sonetto used to look up at the sky before fights, but stopped, is she more confident now?

Voice Acting / Audio

• English VA is very good, usually I go with Japanese
• I find myself listening to the gacha introductions
• voice actors match the characters really well
• Forget Me Not voice actor is really good

Gameplay / Systems

• boss fights are kinda hard, got stuck on part 13 chapter 2 (untill i got Paper Heron)
• recorded rounds are very nice QoL
• sometimes game freezes for half a second in story
• sometimes story goes auto when I don’t have auto on
• I don’t like linking account to Discord and claiming rewards from Discord
• Impromptu Incantation is strong
• apple first insight is very nice
• sound is very nice

Presentation / Atmosphere

• I like seeing date and time before starting story quests
• background changes when going into next story section (board game style) is really cool
• I notice the writing doesn’t feel like it’s made to hit a certain word count

Side Notes

• hey it’s Regulus
• I think Schneider kissed Vertin
• I think Sonetto did the Italian hand thing
• had a limited 10 pull for paper heron, decided to use it, got her
• paper heron is really pretty
• pure arcanists are stronger than half arcanists

EDIT ; Just finshed reading chapter 2

  • There was a split section where I saw a blush scene under the umbrella with Schinder/Schneider
  • Mr Karson is cool, I thought he might have been evil
  • Why did Vertin and Schneider seem so close, why did she not eat the gold bars?
  • What exactly was the Storm doing? making normal people think gold and money was food?

EDIT 2

I also had to look up 7 words in chapter 2

First day of Reverse 1999 My thoughts

  • English VA is really good
  • I like that the MC actually talks and has a voice actor
  • Live2D looks amazing
  • Art style is really beautiful
  • Music / background soundtrack is really good
  • Combat is easy to understand, which I like
  • Story has been really good so far, even more than I expected

Small issues / things I noticed

  • Some character voices sound a bit muffled sometimes
  • I wish I could use the VA for the current text/dialogue

Other

  • I think I finished Chapter 1

  • Was “Apple” already registered?

  • I’m more into fantasy stuff like knights and dragons, so I didn’t think I’d enjoy the story this much
