So had a hiatus based on my own dumb game system thing. During that hiatus I kinda lost interest in Blue Edition stuff. But I still don't want to bring the color list back. I feel like this is long enough anyway that that would just super-bloat it. Anyway, giving it some thought "Shower Lord EBH" and the "Prototype Script Just Before BA EBH" are different enough Elements Bath Houses that they should get their own sections.

* Ah screw it, maybe this can fall under a subversion of EldritchAbomination: Subverted with the Growths, the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Overgrowth. The first impression of them is that they're totally alien and do not fit with the consistent rules set up in the world -- they're mysterious beings that reside in a bizarre, twisted, impossibly huge, red "jungle" that can drain the life energy of "normal" living beings (something that is possible in the setting with standard magic, but Growths can do it with ease),
* EveryoneIsBi: As per the norm of an original fiction by [=NeedsMoreDeepWater=], it is easier to count the monosexual characters. All Elements are bi, the women by account of them dating each other and all being open to Zoap, while Zoap himself has expressed attraction to men on multiple occasions and slept with some outside of the Elements [yes, the Elements do sleep around with others on occasion outside of their gang]. Secondary characters [...] Olivia is one of the few confirmed straight characters, with a RunningGag of her having her own "background harem" consisting of multiple muscular men

[[spoiler:He genuinely gets Mansia to sleep with him when he starts working for the Blossom Kingdom, but Mansia makes it very clear that she's just using him and has zero attraction to him]]. He is a massive creep that repeatedly talks about how his ideal partner is someone barely at the legal age and weak, and his social skills are so bad that his "pickup lines" sound like borderline rape threats. Once in Dualite's Blue Moon, a background character manages to get past this and sees him for who he is underneath his lack of social skills... and then dumps him anyway because his ''actual'' personality is bad too, he turns out to be an entitled {{jerkass}} who [[AllTakeAndNoGive wants his partner to do everything for him yet ask for nothing in return from him.]]

Because like, this is trying to be something more than just "Oh, in this a lot of the women are relevant, male characters are just side-roles," like, it's an actual theme here that there's matriarchal societies, because I want a racy poly/harem fantasy to have one that's like actually treating the idea seriously instead of just being some female domination fetish content] The gender equality of Dualite varies based on the exact area, but the world as a whole generally hovers between Levels 4-6. It's ''fairly'' equal on the surface, yet there are several societies that have a gender preference that can be various degrees of obviousness
** The Blossom Kingdom, despite being ruled by a woman in the present, is exceptionally misogynistic by Dualite standards.

For example, he had drafted potential "dark inversions" of the Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and even Quaternary hues, before he started trying to figure out the Quinaries. That script has the following of note.

* The Sword of the Center for a while was planned to be in the Overgrowth, specifically the Sanctuary would have been staged ''there'' and its purpose for being built was to keep the Sword secured. The climax of the story would have seen the Elements (at one time, "just" 102 of them, with the other 900 regionals being the Research Team that would join all as a last-minute group) racing Zelpea and braving the Overgrowth for what would have been the first time to reach it. They would have fought Zelpea in the Sanctuary, then she would have taken the Sword, still impaled herself, become Pure Zelpea, fly off, and they would fight in the burnt remains of the Bright Green Capital.

* FanDisservice: Despite the premise of adding naked adult characters to the game, one being a direct parody of the fanbase's SelfFanservice fanart and another effectively being an army of Water's original characters of ''Terraria'' lead by a fit man, the mod is also littered with more gruesom imagry than its sister ''Terraria'' fanworks:
** ''Most'' of the items have no "costume" effect on Fanart Eve or her alts[[note]]Which is understandable, as most would not fit the "mold" of her, Vince, and Hank; [[/note]], with a few of the exceptions being ones that would change them in a way conventionally considered appealing. There are some exceptions: Tooth Picks ''still'' has all characters prick open their eyes with them, Mars makes them look downright demonic, and they even have unique sprites for ''Akeldama'' where their guts are open. [=2Spooky=] outright distorts them to things that look like they came right out of a creepypasta.
** The revealed concepts for the tainted characters. Hank is already not a conventionally attractive model (despite the RunningGag of this mod and Water's other works insisting otherwise), but his tainted self is being corrupted by being transformed in to Homer Simpson somehow,
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: All of the new characters. On account of them being adults and thus "levelheaded enough to not cry even in the Basement's horrors," they don't use tears at all,
** Hank plays somewhat like a beat-em-up character, with an emphasis on fast melee combos and "juggling" enemies.
** Fanart Eve has both ammuinition in the form of her gun (which both functions as tears and replaces bombs) that can be replenished by picking ammo dropped from enemies or by "reloading" only in unsafe rooms, [...] She also has something of a StanceSystem where she can change between the eight female characters, Isaac, and through an EasterEgg Siren
** Vince, in direct contrast to Fanart Eve and Hank, deals ''pathetic'' levels of damage by himself. He is even more of TheMinionMaster than Lilith or Bethany, as his main form of attack comes from summoning "Drawn Models" that attack along with him. "His stats" actually have little effect on him,

** To prevent unwinnable scenarios with running out of ammo, Fanart Eve has a "reload" function where she can magically replenish her gun by a certain amount.

[[folder:1. Submerged Engulfed]]
'''Submerged Engulfed''' is a Challenge in ''Blue Edition''. Uniquely, the player starts in Downpour/Dross I, and similar to the BASE MENT seed, this chapter "repeats" on itself multiple times. While the goal is listed as Mother, it ends at Downpour/Dross V, a custom floor that only consists of the starting room, a Treasure Room with the Violet Bud (also the item the challenge unlocks), and the Boss Room.
After a set interval of time has passed on each floor, The Wraith will spawn from the starting room and will persuit Isaac, similar to Dark Esau. The Wraith is completely invincible and will instantly kill any enemies or bosses it runs in to, and it will rush at Isaac with much more speed than
* Character: Isaac. (Anima Sola as active; has Treasure Map.)
* Goal: The Wraith (Downpour/Dross V)
* Treasure Rooms: No.

* While you are given the Treasure Map but no Compass, bear in mind that the Boss Room is almost always the farthest dead end from the map,

* Curse of the Lost will never be given during this Challenge. [Hell maybe you just start with Black Candle. I hate Curses anyway.]
* Anima Sola functions differently in this challenge than it normally would, Tainted Jacob or otherwise.
* The Wraith '''will''' change directions if Isaac managed to slip past it, but '''cannot''' make immediate 180 degree turns unless it hits a wall. Internally, it has a "turning cooldown" where it can only turn at 90 degrees
* At the beginning of the challenge, a message reading "REACH THE FIFTH FLOOR" will appear, letting the player know that Downpour/Dross is not meant to be "endlessly" looping.
* The time that the Wraith will spawn is one minute and twenty seconds after being in the first floor. The time interval gets shorter by twenty seconds with each floor. In the fifth floor,
* The Wraith has a different appearance in Downpour
* The Wraith can destroy rocks, metal blocks, tall pillars, and ignores blocks. It essentially acts like a Mega Mush-given character with flight.
* Wraith is effectively "two blocks wide." It destroys two tile entities simultaneously,

* This Challenge is a reference to Submerged Castle in ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'' as well as its successor Engulfed Castle in ''Pikmin 4''.

When becoming a cat burglar, you have to earn rules before you become one. Some include, come out of the dark because that is when people don't really come outside, wear black cloth to camouflage through the dark, and don't make any sounds, which is the exact reason walking on tip toes were created.
This trope is where a character [[Main/ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin tries to move quietly and sneakily by walking on the tip of their toes,]] often accompanied by exaggerated gestures and expressions. This is usually done for comedic effect, as the character is either oblivious to the noise they are making or overestimates their [[Main/StealthExpert stealth skills.]] Sometimes, the character may be caught by someone [[Main/BeingWatched who was watching them all along,]] or they may [[Main/AgonyOfTheFeet accidentally step on something that makes a loud sound and alerts everyone.]]
Sneaky tip toes are a common way of moving around when someone wants to be stealthy or playful. They involve lifting the heels off the ground and balancing on the toes of the feet, making as little noise as possible. Sometimes, sneaky tip toes are used to sneak up on someone and surprise them, or to avoid being detected by someone who might be angry or annoyed. Other times, sneaky tip toes are used to reach something that is too high or far away, or to pretend to be a dancer or a spy. Sneaky tip toes can be fun and exciting, but they can also backfire if the person is not careful enough.
Tip toes aren't always used for sneakiness though. They are also used for ballet, which is a common dance for ballet dancers. You can find the trope [[Main/StraightToThePointe here.]]
This trope is commonly associated with Main/ClassyCatBurglar. Sometimes can be used with Main/TheSneakyGuy.

Recap/FazbearFrightsIntoThePit
Thought after actually seeing the first episode of the anime "Oh All Might said (well, thought) 'shit' I don't remember that in the manga. Wasn't expecting swearing on that level."
I'm aware that there's a minor villain with a poison gas quirk (might have even been in the point of the manga I read up to). Currently PoisonousPerson only lists Mina though, who has more of an acid theme. ...She'd actually fit in with the "poison slot" in my elemental scheme though, it's based on [[VideoGame/Pikmin2 White Pikmin]] first and foremost and while that normally means toxic gas, in "Occupational Hazards" at least (dubiously canon but whatever) they can do this acid spit thing. Plus the "poison element" has just kind of meant different chemicals and stuff as a whole.
From what little I know so far of MHA I think Mina and Iris (the "poison user" of the Elements) would probably get along really well, in like a mentor-student sort of way. Iris could give her tips on like how to use or create such acid or try going for this compound (since I know Mina isn't limited to making just one type of acid), and Mina could probably ''work on'' getting [[ExtremeDoormat Iris]] a bit out of her shell (since doing that completely is a very tall order).
So long as Mina doesn't like/tolerate the idea of [[BerserkButton love potions]] that is.
Iris '''hates''' love potions.

[[folder:''Tears of the Kingdom'' review draft]]
!! Title: "Don't Hold Your Breath"?
I like ''Breath of the Wild''. I enjoyed my time beating the main quests and completing all of the shrines, finding all but the last couple on my own without a guide. I was excited at the announcement of a sequel, having wanted but not expecting to see this instance of Hyrule get fleshed out further, and see what else could be done with it. I'm saying this to make it clear that this review is not an "Old Zelda vs New Zelda" complaint. I wanted more ''Breath'', just... not in the way ''Tears'' ended up being. I went in the game only seeing the first couple hours of a stream of it, otherwise diving in blind. The tutorial, with its massive sky island providing a playground for the complex new abilities, set a very good first impression.
And then I landed on the surface. Things were fine at first, but not too long in as I explored...
I really tried to keep an open mind about the reused map but in my opinion, it was the worst case scenario. I wouldn't have minded if either the surface was given a ''drastic'' overhaul (how I'm not sure, but more than the caves and wells) or if the sky and/or depths had as much content and diversity as the surface did. In other words, have as much ''new'' content as ''Breath'' had... content. The game doesn't do either of these things. The majority of the sky consists of very same-y puzzle archipelagos and a few other structures that can be solved fairly quickly, with the more elaborate parts that provide exploration like the Labyrinths being spaced out to the ends of the map. The tutorial area is also one of the most interesting and largest places in the sky, which was a disappointment, it sort of set up that layer as though it would be made of similarly large complexes. Two of the dungeons are there, but... I don't see how that counts for much, they're still the minority of sky content and ''Breath''[='=]s dungeons already had their own maps in a sense anyway, so this is a lot like the Divine Beasts just with some rather underwhelming floating islands mixed in. The actual majority of the sky is literally empty, these islands are just what dot it. The depths I like ''far'' more, I like how the ''Breath''-verse take on a "Dark World" is a deep underground space that inverts Hyrule's geography and its atmosphere and mechanics are more unique. And even then, most of it is the same aesthetically, wide stretches that I believe are intended to just be passed through on a vehicle rather than explored more in-depth like the surface area. As fun as it is to explore what there ''is,'' the game is also not balanced around it: Your main sources of both health and defense upgrades, to avoid getting oneshotted by the stronger enemies, are located on the surface layer. Which I find is where the issues really come up.
Most of the main quests see you return to the four towns that the main dungeons of ''Breath'' were also set in, doing similar story beats, with many of the same armors returning. New enemies are added, but especially on the surface layer, you'll often be finding the same Bokoblins and Moblins [...] Are the dungeons improvements over the ''Breath'' dungeons? I say yes, and I also say the shrines are massive improvements over the predecessors. But [...] A large draw to ''Breath'', at least to me, was looking around the enormous map to see what was around the corner, find what was there even if it stopped being useful, and get a feel of one region before transitioning to the next. ''Tears'' doesn't carry that. The map's general layout is unchanged, and there aren't much in the way of surprises that shake things up, especially outside of the four major dungeon areas.
To my understanding, the ''Zelda'' series will be moving away from this version of Hyrule in the future installments, which I find a massive relief. Because this game had me worried, and even now I'm a bit cautious, that this reboot may mark a sort of ''Zelda'' equivalent of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, where what starts out a fresh new take just becomes it own formula and gets repetitive as a result. I'm not exactly a long-time ''Zelda'' fan and I haven't played too many of the games just yet, but one thing I am fond of is that each game can have its own sort of world with a different set of characters that can change on a dime, and I'd hate to see that go away and we'd be left stuck with the same setting and characters for a decade not counting remakes.
All in all, it's a bigger and flashier ''Breath'' with new mechanics and extentions of the map that aren't as elaborate as the original one was. If you don't mind that idea, I'd say check it out. But if you didn't like ''Breath'' at all, I highly doubt you'd like this game unless you really like the build mechanics, or if the issues it directly fixed were ''huge'' deal breakers. I ''do'' like some parts of this but not to the extent of the massive praise it gets, but I acknowledge that I just have a bias against same-y sequels so I'm not the best judge at that.

The TLDR is that it's a kinda loose indie successor to ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. A buncha anthro animal characters in teams with different specialized types in a [=3D=] platformer. It's not considered as good as the likes of ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'' or ''VideoGame/SparkTheElectricJester'' but it still has some charm to it and, ''gameplay wise,'' some fans. As with a lot of indie projects one of the big sources of criticism, again just with gameplay and not what I'm about to get to, is that it's short. Also though, it's repetetive. You've got eight teams that go through five "zones," and while they don't all go through the same layouts akin to ''Sonic Heroes'', they ''do'' in "pairs." (Two teams have one layout, etc.)
So, being its own IP means the devs have freedom to do whatever the hell they want without Sega breathing mandates or whatever down their necks, and they start fresh. The character designer or someone else on the team is taking advantage of this to correct at least one thing they don't like about the ''Sonic'' rules, that male characters only have gloves and shoes (and maybe a shirt) while female characters are fully clothed. This chooses to have everyone dress as the former, and with one exception it's handled tastefully, the female characters are pretty much just cartoon animal-looking beings with nothing sexual going on. Yeah one or two people looking for something to hate might bring up these majority-characters but even people who hate the design I'll get to would usually tell them to shut up and not be prudish.
That exception however is Lavender, the big polarizing character. Lavender is in short a Rouge {{expy}},

When becoming a cat burglar, you have to earn rules before you become one. Some include, come out of the dark because that is when people don't really come outside, wear black cloth to camouflage through the dark, and don't make any sounds, which is the exact reason walking on tip toes were created.
This trope is where a character [[Main/ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin tries to move quietly and sneakily by walking on the tip of their toes,]] often accompanied by exaggerated gestures and expressions.

Sneaky tip toes are a common way of moving around when someone wants to be stealthy or playful. They involve lifting the heels off the ground and balancing on the toes of the feet, making as little noise as possible. Sometimes, sneaky tip toes are used to sneak up on someone and surprise them, or to avoid being detected by someone who might be angry or annoyed. Other times, sneaky tip toes are used to reach something that is too high or far away, or to pretend to be a dancer or a spy.

Oh yeah the frequent LastNameBasis confused me a bit. Like for a while I wasn't sure if Ochako was her first name or last name, and I thought Kyoka was her surname and Jiro was her first but it's the other way around.
Thought after actually seeing the first episode of the anime "Oh All Might said (well, thought) 'shit' I don't remember that in the manga. Wasn't expecting swearing on that level."
I'm aware that there's a minor villain with a poison gas quirk (might have even been in the point of the manga I read up to). Currently PoisonousPerson only lists Mina though, who has more of an acid theme. ...She'd actually fit in with the "poison slot" in my elemental scheme though, it's based on [[VideoGame/Pikmin2 White Pikmin]] first and foremost and while that normally means toxic gas, in "Occupational Hazards" at least (dubiously canon but whatever) they can do this acid spit thing. Plus the "poison element" has just kind of meant different chemicals and stuff as a whole.
From what little I know so far of MHA I think Mina and Iris (the "poison user" of the Elements) would probably get along really well, in like a mentor-student sort of way. Iris could give her tips on like how to use or create such acid or try going for this compound (since I know Mina isn't limited to making just one type of acid), and Mina could probably ''work on'' getting [[ExtremeDoormat Iris]] a bit out of her shell (since doing that completely is a very tall order).
So long as Mina doesn't like/tolerate the idea of [[BerserkButton love potions]] that is.
Iris '''hates''' love potions.

[[folder:''Tears of the Kingdom'' review draft]]
!! Title: "Don't Hold Your Breath"?
I like ''Breath of the Wild''. I enjoyed my time beating the main quests and completing all of the shrines, finding all but the last couple on my own without a guide. I was excited at the announcement of a sequel, having wanted but not expecting to see this instance of Hyrule get fleshed out further, and see what else could be done with it. I'm saying this to make it clear that this review is not an "Old Zelda vs New Zelda" complaint. I wanted more ''Breath'', just... not in the way ''Tears'' ended up being. I went in the game only seeing the first couple hours of a stream of it, otherwise diving in blind. The tutorial, with its massive sky island providing a playground for the complex new abilities, set a very good first impression.
And then I landed on the surface. Things were fine at first, but not too long in as I explored...
I really tried to keep an open mind about the reused map but in my opinion, it was the worst case scenario. I wouldn't have minded if either the surface was given a ''drastic'' overhaul (how I'm not sure, but more than the caves and wells) or if the sky and/or depths had as much content and diversity as the surface did. In other words, have as much ''new'' content as ''Breath'' had... content. The game doesn't do either of these things. The majority of the sky consists of very same-y puzzle archipelagos and a few other structures that can be solved fairly quickly, with the more elaborate parts that provide exploration like the Labyrinths being spaced out to the ends of the map. The tutorial area is also one of the most interesting and largest places in the sky, which was a disappointment, it sort of set up that layer as though it would be made of similarly large complexes. Two of the dungeons are there, but... I don't see how that counts for much, they're still the minority of sky content and ''Breath''[='=]s dungeons already had their own maps in a sense anyway, so this is a lot like the Divine Beasts just with some rather underwhelming floating islands mixed in. The actual majority of the sky is literally empty, these islands are just what dot it. The depths I like ''far'' more, I like how the ''Breath''-verse take on a "Dark World" is a deep underground space that inverts Hyrule's geography and its atmosphere and mechanics are more unique. And even then, most of it is the same aesthetically, wide stretches that I believe are intended to just be passed through on a vehicle rather than explored more in-depth like the surface area. As fun as it is to explore what there ''is,'' the game is also not balanced around it: Your main sources of both health and defense upgrades, to avoid getting oneshotted by the stronger enemies, are located on the surface layer. Which I find is where the issues really come up.
Most of the main quests see you return to the four towns that the main dungeons of ''Breath'' were also set in, doing similar story beats, with many of the same armors returning. New enemies are added, but especially on the surface layer, you'll often be finding the same Bokoblins and Moblins [...] Are the dungeons improvements over the ''Breath'' dungeons? I say yes, and I also say the shrines are massive improvements over the predecessors. But [...] A large draw to ''Breath'', at least to me, was looking around the enormous map to see what was around the corner, find what was there even if it stopped being useful, and get a feel of one region before transitioning to the next. ''Tears'' doesn't carry that. The map's general layout is unchanged, and there aren't much in the way of surprises that shake things up, especially outside of the four major dungeon areas.
To my understanding, the ''Zelda'' series will be moving away from this version of Hyrule in the future installments, which I find a massive relief. Because this game had me worried, and even now I'm a bit cautious, that this reboot may mark a sort of ''Zelda'' equivalent of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, where what starts out a fresh new take just becomes it own formula and gets repetitive as a result. I'm not exactly a long-time ''Zelda'' fan and I haven't played too many of the games just yet, but one thing I am fond of is that each game can have its own sort of world with a different set of characters that can change on a dime, and I'd hate to see that go away and we'd be left stuck with the same setting and characters for a decade not counting remakes.
All in all, it's a bigger and flashier ''Breath'' with new mechanics and extentions of the map that aren't as elaborate as the original one was. If you don't mind that idea, I'd say check it out. But if you didn't like ''Breath'' at all, I highly doubt you'd like this game unless you really like the build mechanics, or if the issues it directly fixed were ''huge'' deal breakers. I ''do'' like some parts of this but not to the extent of the massive praise it gets, but I acknowledge that I just have a bias against same-y sequels so I'm not the best judge at that.

Double the amount of love interests as the ''Biome Artists'' video game mentioned above that was released years later.

''Nymph Quest'' is not just a standalone mod, there are other '''mods of the mod''' or '''side-mods'''
!! The Main Deal
* '''Nymph Quest''' itself is the main mod. It is content-focused and content-heavy, most noteably adding over 1,200 enemies,
!! Add-Ons
* '''Nymph Quest TEST:''' A mod both for testing concepts and to use as a general joke. Intentionally less balanced than the main ''Nymph Quest''. This could be downloaded as a standalone, but it is recommended to be downloaded as an add-on original ''Nymph Quest''; a few items function differently if ''Nymph Quest'' is enabled (mainly, having extra features). This has significantly more enemies and bosses, though most are of a "shitposty" nature and play as gags. This mod has its own "Oread NPC" in the Fake Oread, which resembles the Oread but is grayscale, and whose primary purpose is selling summoning items that lets the player fight these gag bosses for the most part regardless of stage of progression, although the item descriptions will warn the player of the recommended progression they should be in to fight them. [As in, she'll sell the summon items for post-Moon Lord and endgame bosses even in Pre-Hardmode]
* '''Nature's Wrath:''' An unofficial expansion/modification similar to ''Infernum'' of ''Calamity'', basically [=NeedsMoreDeepWater=] is ass with coding so someone else fixed it up and made it better, at the cost of also taking it more seriously. ''Nymph Quest'' is required for this to work.
!! Historical Versions
* '''Nymph Quest OLD:''' The farthest Water progressed when working with the 1.4.3 tmodloader, before the update fucked some stuff up. Even more minimal than 0.1, it just has the Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary Saturated Nymphs and a handful of items,

* '''Nymph Quest Classic 0.2:''' The "Hardmode" content that, in a sense, made the mod "complete" in that one can go to the Moon Lord
* '''Nymph Quest Classic 0.6:''' The last update before the significant overhaul that changed world generation (Lake/Underground Lake, Fire Field/Magma Pool, and in 0.8 the Underground Ocean and )
!! Seperate Mods
Mods that only add specific features, in case players want to play ''Terraria'' with them but not the full thing (very understandable).
* '''More Gems:''' Simply adds the Peridots, Jades, Aquamarines, Lapis Lazulis, Garnets, Quartzes, and Onyxes to the game, and all material crafted with them (Hooks, Robes, )

Oh yeah the frequent LastNameBasis confused me a bit. Like for a while I wasn't sure if Ochako was her first name or last name, and I thought Kyoka was her surname and Jiro was her first but it's the other way around.
Thought after actually seeing the first episode of the anime "Oh All Might said (well, thought) 'shit' I don't remember that in the manga. Wasn't expecting swearing on that level."
I'm aware that there's a minor villain with a poison gas quirk (might have even been in the point of the manga I read up to). Currently PoisonousPerson only lists Mina though, who has more of an acid theme. ...She'd actually fit in with the "poison slot" in my elemental scheme though, it's based on [[VideoGame/Pikmin2 White Pikmin]] first and foremost and while that normally means toxic gas, in "Occupational Hazards" at least (dubiously canon but whatever) they can do this acid spit thing. Plus the "poison element" has just kind of meant different chemicals and stuff as a whole.
From what little I know so far of MHA I think Mina and Iris (the "poison user" of the Elements) would probably get along really well, in like a mentor-student sort of way. Iris could give her tips on like how to use or create such acid or try going for this compound (since I know Mina isn't limited to making just one type of acid), and Mina could probably ''work on'' getting [[ExtremeDoormat Iris]] a bit out of her shell (since doing that completely is a very tall order).
So long as Mina doesn't like/tolerate the idea of [[BerserkButton love potions]] that is.
Iris '''hates''' love potions.

[[folder:''Tears of the Kingdom'' review draft]]
!! Title: "Don't Hold Your Breath"?
I like ''Breath of the Wild''. I enjoyed my time beating the main quests and completing all of the shrines, finding all but the last couple on my own without a guide. I was excited at the announcement of a sequel, having wanted but not expecting to see this instance of Hyrule get fleshed out further, and see what else could be done with it. I'm saying this to make it clear that this review is not an "Old Zelda vs New Zelda" complaint. I wanted more ''Breath'', just... not in the way ''Tears'' ended up being. I went in the game only seeing the first couple hours of a stream of it, otherwise diving in blind. The tutorial, with its massive sky island providing a playground for the complex new abilities, set a very good first impression.
And then I landed on the surface. Things were fine at first, but not too long in as I explored...
I really tried to keep an open mind about the reused map but in my opinion, it was the worst case scenario. I wouldn't have minded if either the surface was given a ''drastic'' overhaul (how I'm not sure, but more than the caves and wells) or if the sky and/or depths had as much content and diversity as the surface did. In other words, have as much ''new'' content as ''Breath'' had... content. The game doesn't do either of these things. The majority of the sky consists of very same-y puzzle archipelagos and a few other structures that can be solved fairly quickly, with the more elaborate parts that provide exploration like the Labyrinths being spaced out to the ends of the map. The tutorial area is also one of the most interesting and largest places in the sky, which was a disappointment, it sort of set up that layer as though it would be made of similarly large complexes. Two of the dungeons are there, but... I don't see how that counts for much, they're still the minority of sky content and ''Breath''[='=]s dungeons already had their own maps in a sense anyway, so this is a lot like the Divine Beasts just with some rather underwhelming floating islands mixed in. The actual majority of the sky is literally empty, these islands are just what dot it. The depths I like ''far'' more, I like how the ''Breath''-verse take on a "Dark World" is a deep underground space that inverts Hyrule's geography and its atmosphere and mechanics are more unique. And even then, most of it is the same aesthetically, wide stretches that I believe are intended to just be passed through on a vehicle rather than explored more in-depth like the surface area. As fun as it is to explore what there ''is,'' the game is also not balanced around it: Your main sources of both health and defense upgrades, to avoid getting oneshotted by the stronger enemies, are located on the surface layer. Which I find is where the issues really come up.
Most of the main quests see you return to the four towns that the main dungeons of ''Breath'' were also set in, doing similar story beats, with many of the same armors returning. New enemies are added, but especially on the surface layer, you'll often be finding the same Bokoblins and Moblins [...] Are the dungeons improvements over the ''Breath'' dungeons? I say yes, and I also say the shrines are massive improvements over the predecessors. But [...] A large draw to ''Breath'', at least to me, was looking around the enormous map to see what was around the corner, find what was there even if it stopped being useful, and get a feel of one region before transitioning to the next. ''Tears'' doesn't carry that. The map's general layout is unchanged, and there aren't much in the way of surprises that shake things up, especially outside of the four major dungeon areas.
To my understanding, the ''Zelda'' series will be moving away from this version of Hyrule in the future installments, which I find a massive relief. Because this game had me worried, and even now I'm a bit cautious, that this reboot may mark a sort of ''Zelda'' equivalent of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, where what starts out a fresh new take just becomes it own formula and gets repetitive as a result. I'm not exactly a long-time ''Zelda'' fan and I haven't played too many of the games just yet, but one thing I am fond of is that each game can have its own sort of world with a different set of characters that can change on a dime, and I'd hate to see that go away and we'd be left stuck with the same setting and characters for a decade not counting remakes.
All in all, it's a bigger and flashier ''Breath'' with new mechanics and extentions of the map that aren't as elaborate as the original one was. If you don't mind that idea, I'd say check it out. But if you didn't like ''Breath'' at all, I highly doubt you'd like this game unless you really like the build mechanics, or if the issues it directly fixed were ''huge'' deal breakers. I ''do'' like some parts of this but not to the extent of the massive praise it gets, but I acknowledge that I just have a bias against same-y sequels so I'm not the best judge at that.
[[/folder]]
'Ya see, I'm leaning on "Don't Hold Your Breath" because there's a DoubleMeaningTitle in there. It's telling others not to hold their breath for the game as in like "Don't expect it to be mindblowing." And like, sorta not quite directed at the game itself, don't "hold on" to ''Breath of the Wild'' I dunno it makes sense in my head.
Next up: ''The Legend of Zelda: Bones of the City''. Link can turn in to a monkey and throw his poo at enemies.
[[DancingBear Nothing/Nonexistent,]] may bring back the folder thing of the "series" and merge/update info:
* ''Above Paradise'' is otherwise seen as just an average survival sandbox game with some dating elements aside from the fact that it has a whopping ''2,000'' potential love interests/party members to find and date, all of them manually created (not made randomly or by AI) using the character creation tool as a template, and all having at least their own short dialogue blurbs. Double the amount of love interests as the ''Biome Artists'' video game mentioned above that was released years later. This also tends to overshadow most other things about the game, including the intended main twist that it leans more on surreal/existential horror than it initially presents itself as.

Deleted line(s) 697,702 (click to see context) :
Dunno about ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' but combat in ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' leans less "casting spells and firebolts" and more "guns and knives" and the like; there's elements of the latter with the higher-class demons, like Stolas' shadow demon form and the Sins having big flashy abilities (Mammon making lightning and explosions etc), but when it comes to the imps specifically they rely on weapons.
So like, I wouldn't really compare the fighting of HB to like, a battle series that often has demons casting magic.
When Millie said Sallie smelled like I was expecting a "shit" in there but "'''H O G A S S'''" is great.
