#dot post#ignore morg#finished game 1 of AI: the Somnium Files this morning#sadly I don't think anything will ever live up to 999 but AIS had some good moments#time puzzles are anathema to me though so if I experience the sequel I'll have to find a video with the right audio and no commentary#I totally called the twist as soon as the egg yolk metaphor came onscreen. though I was in fact pleased to be correct#Also caught the musical reference to a song from Ace Attorney in Iris's instrumental theme#about 47s into it a few notes of the ''lively people'' theme from the original ace attorney play#I will say I didn't like most of the cast. Mizuki is probably my favorite character#followed by boss. I don't know how I feel about Date because it almost feels like his personality changes after hitting a certain point#and up until that point he reminded me of my actual dad (a positive comparison)#the gameplay was by far the weakest element (which was disappointing)#story was okay but didn't tie into the mechanics the way ZE did and that weakened it for me#that and some of dumbass moves Date pulls (you can't fucking wait for CSI to arrive dude?)#I like Uchikoshi's writing but the elements of this game simply did not mesh together in the way ZE did#it definitely felt closer in over all quality to ZTD than to VLR or 999 unfortunately#can't tell how much of that is the translator but some of the problem is in the pacing and that definitely isn't the translation's doing.#it DID tie up its loose ends though so that is a good thing AIS and ZTD have over 999 and VLR
