nerd rambles about disappointing video game being disappointing

aka some of my thoughts on onmyoji's new characters of the golden cruise event

honestly, i'm really liking this event so far! i've only read the first three chapters, but it's still a lot of fun!! seimei's on a solo mission, competing challenges on a mysterious (and beautiful) boat to hopefully learn more about kuzunoha! yay!! not to mention stuff like the new material collection system in the battle portion and komatsu's new skin :3 it's all so much fun!

but that being said, some aspects of this event are kinda lackluster... mainly the golden tentacles' crew members

i assume that the devs were scrambling to rearrange everything after they scrapped tamatori (rip queen <3), which could explain why the remaining characters feel pretty... underwhelming. they all have their merits, but they aren't really pulling their own weight to fill the tamatori shaped hole in the story.

i'll start off with the one i have the least complaints about, shiro-uneri. the first ever surgeon in onmyoji, cool!! i'll have to reread his backstory since i forgot some things, but being turned into a spirit by taki after failing to save his crew is so :(((( but that could explain my main complaint with him (and the other characters) - his design is beautiful, but he doesn't feel like a part of the crew. he doesn't even look like a sea yokai, more like a near budget version of sp orochi. L

next is tagitsuhime. she's adorable, but once again i feel like she doesn't look like a crew member. but she at least looks like a sea yokai, esp with her splatoon-esque hair. and i love her personality, but onmyoji is using the "small stand-offish >:P girl" archetype a bit too much. it's the same personality as kingyo and kotodama, but with their edges sanded off (as seen with how she treats taki). i love her and the two others i mentioned, but this type of character is getting a little stale...

but speaking of stale!! taki isn't just stale, he's moldy with a giant bacteria infection. i'm so sick of every new male ssr being some combination of a beloved figure with white hair and no personality beyond calm and stoic and BORING. taki is all that with an iguana named "hizz". absolute L. his design is ass and clearly just taking insp from that old blue french guy from genshin impact so the influx of genshin fans will be happy and try to summon him. BUT!!!!!! despite all that, there are still some things i like about him. the fact that he calls tagitsuhime "sharkie" is adorable, and he actually showed some personality, being overjoyed when seimei figured out his wordplay with the first challenge. i wish they did more with that - making taki more visibly happy or even theatrical, treating this adventure with both seriousness and fun. we are in DESPERATE need of a silly SSR but the devs are too busy making another cheap boring husbando to care

Onmyoji - Taki Story Translation [4 part]

Taki: Dawn is beginning. Now I want to introduce to all of you our newest member of the Golden Claw crew.

Tagitsuhime: Whoa!

Shiro-uneri: He-he.. So interesting...

Taki: The traveler who arrived here from Heyan-Kyo coped brilliantly with all the tests. A new crew member is sure to bring even more glory to the Golden Claw!

Onmyoji - Taki Story Translation [2 part]

Shiro-uneri: When all the sand stops falling, you will hear the call. Take a deep breath and start the countdown with me.. Three.. two.. one.

Taki: You've already noticed that an ordinary person has no chance of lifting such a curse, right? Ha-ha... You don't have much time left to take the test.

Taki's event was so fun. Congrats on the new boyfriend, Seimei

Shiro-uneri: When all the sand has fallen, you will finally arrive at the source of the voices. Take a deep breath with me. Three...two...one.

Taki: Looks like you have arrived. There is no way for a mere human to defeat a ghost's curse. You only have a little time left.
