Is it normally a 3-slot article? Not like Murch can deliver three abilities at once, but better than not having any chance with a lesser piece augmented by snails.

The other two I need to reimburse are Main Ink Saver and Ink Recovery Up, but I have more than one drink ticket and more than one chunk accumulated so far.

[up]The Fake Contacts are 2 stars so you will need to spend a snail if Murch doesn't give you a triple. I am also wearing a pure swim speed up shirt (2 stars) and a pure ink recovery up shoes (3 stars). Start up a match in turf wars and I'll join you once my ranked match ends.

I can wait for the next Salmon Run instead. And I highly doubt I'll ever get a triple ability bonus with Murch if I actually go for it. I can get by with just purchasing the same gear over and over.

The bubbles could be pretty annoying.

Now I'm wondering if they'll introduce a new salmonid that uses bubbles.

After many failures and stress-inducing close calls, reached A+ in Rainmaker. More like Painmaker.

The idol shipping art seemed surprisingly scarce for Off the Hook, compared to the Sisters. I guess people were too busy pitting Pearl and Marina against each other to satisfy their own biases (personally, even with Marina being much more snarkier in English than she is in Japan, a change I still don't really understand, I still got the feeling that the two were close friends).

Not that I'm clamoring for it, since I usually don't do shipping, just noticing the lack of it compared to Callie and Marie.

It might also be because Pearl appears to be a bit younger than Marina, which might skeeve out some people. Also, I've heard that the recent update gave Marina some new dialogue that's more in line with her original characterization. Haven't had a chance to play enough to confirm that though.

Well, there was also the initial dislike of Pearl to take into account. You don't ship something you dislike. But there may be other reasons too. Maybe it's just not an obvious match.

[up]People on Reddit have noted that the dialogue for Pearl and Marina has changed recently to add more affectionate moments, especially on Marina's end. Seems like a subtle change in direction on Treehouse's part.

There's also this. A bit of meta humour that sort of drives at the fact that Marina isn't necessarily being mean. It's just for bants.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the 180 on Marina's personality was because of how badly turning her into Mini Marie went over with the fans.

Like bros, we already have Marie, we don't need another one.

I don't necessarily feel like she was, but it's nice that they can course correct.

i guess marie does show up more

it's not like marie has any role outside of story

I would have liked Callie in one of those Japanese robes Marie is wearing.

But we can't all get what we want now can we? tongue

Marie's entire single-player mode as your mission control versus Callie's three lines (as herself) and subsequent disappearance kinda feels like shafting to me. Maybe it was unavoidable given the plot, but it couldn't have been THAT much effort to have her hang out in Octo Canyon with Marie after you beat the game, right? Especially considering how depressed poor Marie is before Callie gets rescued.
