Love that poster, and that Sissel the cat is on there 
I guessed that Sissel was the guy who took Lynne as a hostage almost the instant she mentioned it. And I knew I was right as soon as they showed the silhouette that conveniently left out the guy's hair.Jintor said:
The other stuff, not really. The cat thing was funny. I forgot about him as soon as he left the screen each time.

Yeah, I was just waiting for Ray to be revealed as the manipulator or someone who was pulling all the strings behind the scene. I was pleasantly surprised though, of course. =D
I was actually really scared of Yomiel during Cabanela's murder. The idea he could notice when you were around was a bit frightening. Haha.

The first time he did that I closed my DS. I'm such a wimp, lol.LiK said:
Definitely thought Ray was gonna end of being the main villian, and also for quite a while thought Cabanela was the big bad dude. Kind of a cool twist that "you" are the villain....even if it's not really you and it's not really a villian.

I was impressed at how my perception of the main characters was constantly being shifted. Lynne appeared to just be in the wrong place at the wrong time at first, then as I learned that she had her own secret agenda and saw her shoot "Sissel" I began to distrust her, but the existence of the manipulator cleared everything up. Cabanela was just a goofy investigator when he danced onto the scene, then became menacing as he threatened Lynne and Jowd, but turned out to have perfectly good reasons for everything that he did. Yomiel was bone-chilling in the first sequence where he's properly introduced, rising from the dead and staring out directly at you, but his backstory and the final chapter in particular redeems him. The only true bad guys in the end were the foreign spies, and they turn out to be almost the least important characters.

If there's ever a sequel, I think we need to learn more about the foreign spies/countries. My only complaint about the story is that their actions and motivations go largely unexplained.hosannainexcelsis said:
I have 2 bones to pick with this game's plot.
1. Missile can reverse time. In that case, why didnt he reverse time to before he met Sissel and convince him(her?) to help him? I kno Sissel left to do his own thing, but when they met Lynne was already dead so Missile coulda jus gone back and asked him again.
of course you can say either Missile wasnt as smart at the time, or had he done that we wouldnt have a premise for the game, but dang waiting 10 years to do something u coulda done then is crazy
2. In the original timeline, why was Yomiel present when the assassin went to Lynne's house to kill Kamila and Missile? Nothing really changed, so his body shoulda been with pigeon man and Canbala or whatever his name was...
my only explanation for that would be the presence of Lynne's corpse caused sum sort of butterfly effect that allowed blue doctor to deliver the body back to Yomiel's soul.

Let's see... for 2, at least, Cabanera put a stop to that in this version of events because he detected the doctor was a phony... I suspect that if he had seen Lynne's corpse he might've been too distracted to notice. Possibility.
For 1... hmmm. Circumstances appear to be different (in that without Ray present, there was nobody to guide Sissel, so he couldn't save Lynne... what else does that change?) probably resulting in a Sissel that was a lot more confused and just more unwilling to help out. Also, maybe even with Missile/Ray's longer reach, he couldn't reach Sissel's (not Yomiel) corpse to reverse time.

Missile didnt need to reach Sissel's corpse, he coulda used Lynne's corpse to go back in time. Sissel died before Lynne, and Missile needed Sissel's help to save Lynne anyways so it wouldnt be in his interest to keep Sissel alive. He made it clear that he alone did not have the power to save Lynne so you could assume that he at least tried to.
who knows, maybe there's sum kinda rule that when you go back in time you bring all souls present with you. It would make sense since every time they did it they brought a whole party of people with them.

When Kamila turned out to have a core I thought immediately that Missile had saved her... which I thought boded really ill for poor Missile.
I really like that initially the novelist sounds like just a grumpy old lady mad at her husband for no discernable reason, but they really managed to make that whole family work out nicely. She even turns out to have a pretty good reason for doing the whole family-split thing (well, if you accept that she's a really principled if eccentric lady).
I wonder why Yomiel's shell has a core in the submarine but not at the beginning of the game?
