This is an essay about Joshua. It’s been a long time coming, as I haven’t actually written about Joshua in a very long time. But before I start ( Read more... )

Actually, Kayashima and Sera knew the safe sheep by the first day, because Turkey told them. It's why Kayashima and Sera were so insistent to Joshua about not eating Turkey.

As I told you before, watching Joshua this game actually made me interested in TWEWY for the first time ever, so... COOL ESSAY BRO. o/

I spoiled myself completely for DDS, don't worry! OBVIOUSLY IT IS NO BARRIER IF I LIKE SOMETHING ENOUGH. It is on my list.

I think Joshua was pretty amazing in the game. Charismatic enough that he won people over despite being really selfish and a jerk! And I liked his last few threads a lot, especially the one in the ousting with Graham and that last one with Bastien.

I have no idea what Joshua and Graham would have to talk about out of the game, but I totally want to carry things over. ^^

ALSO yes, Joshua and his story and what people said in chan made me actually interested in playing TWEWY for the first time, too.

Joshua would have fun with someone like Graham because he's hilarious and entertaining. Graham really DOES share the THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX mentality of the person that Joshua compared him to (Minamimoto), but is a lot less annoying. I really enjoyed playing Joshua charming Graham because he really does know how to appeal to that side.

\o/ I want everyone to play the game as it's one of the best games Squeenix has come out with. But yeah. DS.

I do keep meaning to buy myself a DS (there are multiple things that I would play on it! And I could afford it! I am just... lazy I guess). And we do have a copy of TWEWY in the house, so it is possible I will get around to it.

But I understand, as I have similar feelings ("one of the best games Squeenix has come out with") about Last Remnant - David's canon! - but. xbox.

If you're one of those people who is a completionist whore (and I think you guys are, iirc?), I would recommend picking up your own copy of TWEWY. It's a lot cheaper now on Amazon, what I've heard! TWEWY only lets you have one save file and making a new one deletes the old one.

... This is why I haven't just offered someone my game to send it back so I can get a Neku.

I might watch all of The Last Remnant on Youtube (meaning: plus the walking around and leveling) since I can't foresee myself getting a 360 anytime in the near future. I've been meaning to do this with Capell's canon, too.

I love playing in kill games (or close to) because honestly that's where most of my development comes from too.

So yay! Idk I don't have any real thoughts beyond Yay Development for Joshua! I myself thought he was super endearing ^__^

hilariously, around day, uh...two, maybe? Dave was pretty sure Kayashima and Joshua were wolves. But Dave, er... votes with his heart? As dumb and counter-productive as that is. He voted for Konatsu, because he endangered people for a dead body, and he voted for Prussia because... of the reasons he said, but also because he liked Ashton, and he voted against Joshua as a display of gratitude. He wouldn't have been able to vote for Kayashima either, had it been necessary. :x

I almost asked about the coat, later, but figured Joshua could keep it if he really needed it |D

I loved David so much in the game. Even if he knew, he still was just ... an amazing person to everyone, and I loved it.

The coat thing was adorable, though. ;.;

HE ... PROBABLY WON'T DO ANYTHING BAD TO SHURI. SEE: JESUSING HIMSELF ET AL.

Somewhere in there, he came to genuinely think Shuri was a decent guy and good person.

Yeah.

I don't know how that happened, either.

fuckyou_chorus September 10 2009, 21:41:03 UTC
Hahah, well, it's a general consensus in babychan that Shuri IS growing up and changing through the course of the series itself (re: his development at Antwort), it's just that camp keeps throwing things at him that force him to change and develop (trauma) so SHURI IS A GOOD PERSON, once you force him to grow up and think for himself. \o/

THAT'S BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY WAS A DECENT GUY AND GOOD PERSON THIS GAME!!1 even if his reasons for doing everything weren't entirely selfless and noble he was still being good :'(

... having shuri as your "only one left" in any sense is sort of ... sucks to be you

Aaahhhhh I love reading everyone's behind-the-scenes/inner thoughts on the game :( I still think it should be a movie. Look at all this character development.

katharon September 10 2009, 21:51:42 UTC
HAHA, yeah. I realized it the other night and I was like, "oh god what."

IT COULD BE A MOVIE AND THEN PEOPLE COULD RP OUR CHARACTERS--oh wait.

Joshua could be played by Zac Efron.
