does anyone else get randomly attatched to boss monsters and enemies from games? I kinda wish every game was like pokemon where you can adopt any enemy onto your party, yknow. I always have at least one that i just find really sweet and i dont wanna battle it. And i mean.. I dont really have a logical sense of cuteness or anything. Biggest one I’ve ever got attatched to is Choronzon in SMT Nocturne. Its a giant levitating ball of human heads. But with the demon negotiation system they can all talk so its even easier to get attatched to them! Choronzon had the ‘beast’ type talk conversations in that game and it was just so sweet and innocent, all ‘me want friend’ and stuff. I tried to keep it on my team forever even though you cant really progress without fusing your demons into new forms. I was happy at least that it has an upgraded form called Legion, but even that got to a point where it was no longer viable in battle.
I’m REALLY glad that in persona 5 you can do sacrifice gallows to shove one persona’s powers in another persona and level it up past its intended power limits. In my newgame plus I’m determined to never once fuse Arsene, I’m keeping him FOREVER and feeding him lil cereals of other demons, yup yup. PAPA MAKE U BIG N STRONG, MY BABBY
Oh and aAAAAAAAA! For an example for a game where you actually CANT catch the monsters, the Abomination from final fantasy 9! Oh god I dont know WHY but I really liked that spoopy bastard. Its like a giant head with no lower jaw and medusa hair and stuff. But it has a really pitiful sad face and it just looks so weak and harmless. And its in the category of things where its like only its appearance makes it an enemy. its only here to look scary, so can you even imagine how tough life would be for one that WASNT bad? Imagine a poor innocent Abomination trying to make friends with a lil human child but then its parents bring out the torches and pitchforks! Abomination would never be given the joy of being a collectable pokemon thingie... I WILL LOVE U WHEN NO1 ELSE DOES, ABOMINATION
seriously just take any big scary designed-to-be-always-evil creature and imagine it with the variety of personality every real creature has or imagine it really being as mindless and animalistic as it seems because animals ARE NOT EVIL even dangerous animals are just eating to survive, or lashing out cos theyre scared, or even by accident theyre sympathetic to the core and just imagine how wonderful and heartmelting it would be if any of these spoopy creatures was the sort of animal that could be domesticated and enjoy a happy life together with humans! imagine how tough it must be to be a wild animal in such an intense ecosystem of monster thingies, and how happy it would be if it got a lil pet bed and some pats on the head every morning groom your giant medusa skull as it chirps joyfully feed it tiny food pellets take it for walkies anything normal pet = 100% more cute when its with a pitifully sad scary animal that’s never got to experience love until this moment maybe creepy undead medusa heads live a thousand years maybe its never had a friend in all that time curled up cold and sad in the dungeon all the bigger monsters bully it its too kind to hurt anyone it just approached you to say hi and you freaked out and stabbed it you cruel cruel player gimme more of that plz. more of options to hug the scare. less of hurt.
#i wish more monster catching games had this sort of variety#its the whole reason i stuck with smt nocturne even though i hated the plot and every character#i got attatched to my demon pets and gave them all headcanons and stuff and wanted to win for their sake#'any game that shows me a scary boss monster and then lets me hug it cant be all bad' i said#and its what keeps me coming back to that game even tho i enjoy the gameplay and nothing else#i keep restarting and playing like one gameplay session before i get bored#ive seen the beginning cutscnes like fifty times#and only once made it to the final dungeon but then gave up#and lost the save file#now i cant even make it past the second city without remembering how bored i was and how none of the plot paid off#and how eventually i'll have to let go of choronzon and nooooo#i raised that choronzon from a will o wisp i caught in the first area!#and then next time i played i caught it in the wild#and then next time i played i got it as a legion#its just become the game of a million hellos to the same sweetheart floating head#oh and chatterskull!! that was also an early game cutie!#similar except its just a skull#never appeared in any later games but they did keep the loa variant which has a snake in it and no glowing eyes#not quite as cute
