So when Vincent began thinking she was cheating on him, my instinct to distance myself from her really kicked in and I went running to Catherine. <br /><br />It's amazing to hear others stories about how it touched them in such a real way. Can't help but feel like this is what games should be doing more of.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05476066758960748754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30077884.post-102229653939733452011-08-10T22:01:26.290-04:002011-08-10T22:01:26.290-04:00I found myself a bit resistant initially to Kather...I found myself a bit resistant initially to Katherine's attitude. While it was totally clear that Vincent's apathy and lack of passion were justifiably frustrating her to no end, perhaps I could have used a bit more "prequel" to establish her relationship with Vincent. If I'd been shown a little bit more of what made them click in the first place, it might have led me to a different place. As it was, I started to feel that maybe they just plain weren't good together for the long haul, at least until Vincent decided what he wanted.<br /><br />When she dropped the bomb (on Day 3, I think?), I stopped being a waffle and immediately made the responsible decision for the future, tried my best to cut off ties with Catherine, straighten up and fly right, et cetera. However, in all the poll questions, I found myself answering mostly towards the realm of chaos - towards enjoying the brief moments of life that we're allowed, pursuing ideal happiness, not trying to lay down too many expectations on one's partner. And perhaps because of those, it turns out that a late vow of fidelity just wasn't enough to win Katherine back over. She wants a man who wants to be there because he WANTS to be, not because "it's the upstanding thing to do." And in her heart of hearts, she did not believe that Vincent really wanted to be. <br /><br />This definitely made me reflect on my real-life romantic successes and failures, but let's neatly sidestep that conversation and talk about how my Vincent ended up. ^_^; Which, predictably, was living in a volatile relationship with a phantom of desire that might evaporate at any moment - but grinning big and stupidly happy in that moment. I'm not quite like Vincent - but I'm like him enough to be happy for him, and to think about what having a happy life in this world might entail. The short conclusion is - If Atlus produces more games that make me think, I'll be a happy man.Eidolonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106775359210935802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30077884.post-74690150139218676712011-08-10T17:31:32.371-04:002011-08-10T17:31:32.371-04:00I really can't say much aside from that I emph...I really can't say much aside from that I emphasized with Katherine's problems with Vincent a lot. Maybe it's because I'm soft, but the way Vincent just kept dodging all his problems was frustrating to watch, and I just wanted to punch him through the TV. Or just force him to run off the stage, but I was going for Gold Trophies the whole time so it went against my gaming instincts.<br />Also really liked Erica. Even after her revelations. I thought there was something about her character that was really compelling.PersonaSpacehttp://amagiinn.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
