µ's music start!!!!

For everyone who asked: a dialogue parser for BG3 alongside with the parsed dialogue for the newest patch. The parser is not mine, but its creator a) is amazing and b) wished to stay anonymous.

UPD: I uploaded the parsed dialogue for patch 5, and will add more folders as the game gets updated. (First patch dialogue was sadly lost due to an oversight on my part though).

Make sure to download the whole "BG3 ... (1.3)" folder and keep the "jscssetc" folder within: it is needed for the html files functionality (hide/show certain types of information as per the menu at the top, jumps when you click on [jump], color for better readability, etc). See the image below for what it should look like. The formatting was borrowed from TORcommunity with their blessing.

If you want to run the parser yourself instead of downloading my files, it's easy:

run bg3dialogreader, link any .pak file inside of your \steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data folder,

press ‘tags to db’ (checking 'export all .lsj dialogs' is optional).

Once that is done, press ‘export dialogs to html’, and wait for it to finish (35 minutes as of patch 3).

Find the parser dialogue in ‘Dialogs’. If you move the folder elsewhere, move the ‘jscssetc’ folder as well! It contains the styles you need for the color coding and functionality to keep working!

Feel free to ask if you have any questions! Please let me know if you modify the parser, I'd be curious to know what you added, and possibly add it to the google drive.

I still remember the wishes, from a long time ago.

Post Final Live feels doujin by my favourite artist ♡. I’m still trying to get over how amazing the Final Live was, but I just can’t stop thinking about it. Can’t wait for the Blu-rays to be here so I can watch it over and over and over again! And again, hope you have as much fun reading this as I did translating it!

μ’sic Forever! いまが最高！

Tsubasa: "Good evening ladies! Have you had a chance to read the new lyrics?"

Anju, sipping tea: "They were perfect as always, Tsubasa! Some of your finest work."

Erena: "I came up with new steps for our choreography. Shall we head over to the practice room?"

*Everything is good and smells like roses*

*Meanwhile, at Otonokizaka*

Nico, from the School Idol Research Club room: "PUT IT OUT!! PUT IT OUT!!"

Rin: "It's too big to smother! GET THE ANTI-FLAMETHROWER!"

Umi: "It's called a fire extinguisher. FIRE EXTINGUISHER!"

*Glass shatters, something explodes, someone screams*

Maki: Huh? Why?

Nico: Your partner is way hotter than mine. *walks away*

Maki: Wait, but…

Maki: But wE ARE DATIN-

Nozomi: Hey, Elichi, do you want to go out with me?

what Nozomi means: hey, elichi, do you want to enter a really really gay romantic relationship with me?

what Eli hears: you want to hang out with me? you want to have a grand ‘ol time with your friend? your buddy??  your 100% platonic pal????

Eli: Sure I’d love to!

The left picture is my favorite part of the first ending: Nozomi appearing in the doorway gleefully and Eli right behind her, stiff and embarrassed. Given that, as well as the gap Eli leaves between herself and Honoka in the right picture (the only gap in the whole line of them), I like to think that this ending takes place in those couple weeks after Nozomi and Eli join and before the concert.

I understand why the anime skipped over those weeks, but it’s one of the most disappointing things the anime does, in my opinion. We see Eli go from antagonist to best friend in the span of 30 seconds, when the actual process wouldn’t have been anything like that. Eli’s stubborn. At this point she knows she’s in the wrong, that she has to be nicer to Honoka and the rest of the girls, but she’s too awkward to do it naturally. She’s going to keep being stubborn simply because that’s all she knows how to do it, and it’s going to cause friction in the group until she can calm down. There’s going to be arguments, disagreements over leadership (who’s in charge? Honoka, as the person who started muse? Nico, as club president? Eli, who’s been in charge of everything her whole life?), and while in the end it will bring the group closer, you could have an interesting story where they almost fall apart.

The one saving grace, aside from Nozomi’s magic, is that most of the group can’t hold a grudge. Nico and Maki are the only ones who stay angry (and Eli should be really glad the subunits didn’t exist because bibi meetings would have been awful), but eventually Maki decides she doesn’t care enough. Nico is good at staying silent and angry for a long time, but once she’s alone she gives in too, and it’s only then that Eli can start to relax and truly bond with the group.

Given what day it is, I couldn’t think of a better time to post this. My fourth and final ship mix, NozoEli’s “Snow halation!” 

Honestly, the episode “My Wish” legitimately had me on the verge of tears at some points, and it’s hard not to think of Nozomi whenever I hear this song. “Snow halation” is a memento of her dream come true, something that all the girls of μ’s made happen, but it was Eli’s perseverance for her sake that made it possible.
