I'm gonna be 100%, if the Romancing SaGa 2 remake doesn't blow my dick clean off my body I'm gonna be real sore that the Trials of Mana remake developer was put on that instead of Visions of Mana.

One of the most exciting gaming developments of the last ~10ish years, personally, was me going "Samus Returns was pretty good! I bet if MecurySteam had another swing at Metroid, they'd make something even better!", and then they released Dread, which is (still kind of unbelievably) the best 2D Metroid. So when Visions of Mana was announced, I naturally assumed this would be a similar case; the Trials of Mana remake devs start fresh, unshackled by the inherent limitations of remaking a Super Nintendo game and with the experience they had accumulated, would produce a similar tier of home run.

Instead, they've been working on a remake of a turn based RPG that doesn't really make use of their experience in developing an action RPG, and this new game was developed by Ouka Studios, a studio that... had no experience at all as far as I can tell, and with their closure (ON THE DAY VISIONS OF MANA RELEASED), it's literally the only game that team will have ever released. So I can't even look to the future like "well now this team will get to take their experience forward" because they don't exist anymore!

All of this is not to say that Visions of Mana is bad, it's just... I mentioned in my demo impressions that I could feel a lot of the same kind of lack of polish that the Trials of Mana remake had, which I think is largely attributable to the fact that they're both first efforts. Nearly feels so close to being fantastic, and I have to believe they'd have gotten there with more experience.

actually listening to the hasu card voice lines now

vivid phrase tsuzuri and grace phrase kozue are the outfits they wore to promote the school idol club where kaho and sayaka first saw them perform!!

i have no idea how to take those early mirapa cards. are they just. fantasising about performing together. ruri literally is not even in the country at this point in the story

megu talking about editing a video before trailing off and saying "kozue and tsuzuri are so pretty..."

megumi rented out a photo studio for her megunyan stream??

kaho saying she probably wont be as competent (as kozue) when shes a second year herself <- shes a second year now!!!

tsuzuri's "i want you to know me" to sayaka(?)

「運命だったのかもしれないわね。どうしてかしら、花帆さんを見た時思ったの私はきっとこの子と一緒にスクールアイドルをやっていくんだって。まだまだ長い道のり、これから先も何が起きるかわからけれど、それでも私は花帆さんを選んだ。蓮ノ空女学院に進学すると決めた時のように ね。その選択を絶対に後悔なんてしないわ。初めて一緒にステージに立ってみて、隣に立って笑う花帆さんを見た時に胸の奥が暑くなった気がしたの。春は出会いの季節、それに恋の季節って言うでしょ？もしかしたら私は花帆さんのスクールアイドルとしての笑顔に恋をしてしまったのかも」

kozue: maybe it was fate. i dont know why, but when i saw kaho-san i thought to myself "im definitely going to be a school idol with this girl." theres still a long road ahead of us, and i dont know what will happen in the future, but i chose kaho-san, just as i chose to go to hasunosora. i will never regret that decision. when we stood on stage together for the first time, and i saw kaho-san smiling next to me, i felt a warmth in my heart. they say spring is the season of new encounters and the season of love, right? maybe i fell in love with kaho-san's school idol smile

the voice lines for the card of sayaka waking up tsuzuri for school are so long like a full minute longer than the others. its mostly tsuzuri saying how thankful she is she has sayaka standing by her and that she worried sayaka wouldnt know How grateful she is. so she gave her a nice acorn she found and sayaka gave her a cookie back

*tsuzuri gave kozue and kaho acorns as thanks in the main story too for making her realise everything sayaka was doing for her

they (ceribou + dollche presumably) all came up with the kunpuu no shirabe outfits together! the translucent fabric layer on top was kaho's idea

while kozue was making the kunpuu no shirabe outfits kaho kept leaving practice to check how she was doing and kozue thought she was like a puppy before thinking that wasnt appropriate for her to think as her senpai (lol)

sayaka (and kaho?) made the stage for scapegoat (and ouka ranman?)

tsuzuri often feels (felt?) lonely after a performance and it makes her want to do another show to feel the same emotions. kozue had to stop her from doing it the fourth time

sayaka saying she obviously cant know fully tsuzuri's greatness but she does want people to know the tsuzuri that she knows, and shes annoyed she wasnt able to properly convey that to kaho when they were talking about how much they love their senpai

tsuzuri didnt recognise herself in the photo of she and kozue from last year. she doesnt really remember her face since she only sees it in the mirror

tsuzuri said something about memories remaining in a form such as a photo, that when she tries to pull them out she can feel it in her chest along with other memories attached to it. so she knows that they happened. yet she cant remember her own face. if she doesnt pull the memories out theyll accumulate and get stuck. but if she keeps doing it she worries theyll fall apart and disappear

there are some memories she wants to disappear but even the ones she doesnt are at risk of disappearing. so she wants to make lots of memories that she does want to keep

sayaka's tragic drops card is probably happening the same time as tsuzuri's!! shes watching her stream :-)

tsuzuri: im not good at streaming but i know people who are, so i used them as a reference <- i knew it

It's pretty fucking rancind that they fucking laid off Ouka studios the literal day their fucking game released without any time to even see how much it would sell.

But the Until dawn devs are already getting hit with the lay off warning before the game even comes out, come the fuck on this industry is falling apart.
