aah, wow! i've never met another wizardess heart fan who also has been there since the very beginning for obey me and you're very right for the most part. there's so much more angst in each route for the characters there, and they each have such vibrant personalities/convictions?
you could argue, though, that it's because each route is limited and the writers don't have to drag it out, nor do they have to switch writers mid-story. while i think that some aspects of old solmare games have more charm than obey me, i also know that some the writing also isn't up to par with what obey me has offered in the past (save for the newer routes before they discontinued). this is just my experience since i remembered those games having god-tier writing, but upon playing them again, i believe it was just the nostalgia for the feelings i felt while playing it years prior.
plot-wise? absolutely. i've played through both normal and hard mode for obey me up to season 4 and the most that they offer are bouts of inspiration for me to write better than they do. plotlines are forgotten, character development for many characters have been erased, the tone isn't serious because [plot] has repeated numerous times, and the mc (albeit a "blank slate" for self-inserts) is made out to be overpowered with no real repercussions for their shitty choice of wording or actions. i don't believe many people are able to imagine themself as the mc when the mc acts so impulsive and apathetic towards everyone.
although i will say that i enjoy picking apart the subtle hints towards solmare's other games, mostly wizardess heart because it's the closest to the elements of obey me? the backgrounds and bgms, the personalities of characters and reused storylines. i believe there's also a place called 'the land of solomon' which got a kick out of me once i remembered its existence.
liz was an amazing mc, though :( a bit too helpless in the early routes, but she was charming once the last routes finally continued an interesting plot as they interconnected.
I will NEVER forgive NTT Solmate for discontinuing Wizardess Heart and Destiny Ninja 2 for Obey Me!
[MY OPINION] both Wizardess heart and Destiny Ninja have a better plot compared to Obey me... I have played Obey Me since day one and when I realized the plot doesn't move forward it just got so boring so I deleted it... I miss Liz and the gang so much...
Obey Me just doesn't have a plot??? Passed lesson 16 it just goes round and round and never moves forward... Also their "problems" are never serious... I want serious plot and the angst
And SOME of the fans act like the plot is 100/10 NO I assured you that their old game has a better writing and plot.
