[BOSS MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

memes aside, i’ll just give a tdlr since it’s christmas morning and i gotta go make cookies:

- there’s basically no effort put into rewriting the script to support a speaking protagonist (so other characters often repeat back to her what she just said), what effort is made is... of interesting quality

- curly’s dialogue is either reused description text or just. bad. it doesn’t match how she talked in the original game at all (infamously when she first startles itoh she says ‘ha ha ha! little dog boy, i’m not going to hurt you’)

- the way her and quote’s relationship is handled is extremely inconsistent, since quote is still a silent protagonist (except for one line), curly still does all the talking and it just doesn’t work 99% of the time. it’s also implied curly doesn’t have amnesia as she appears to recognise quote and who he is, but then 3 lines later muses that he ‘might’ve been a mimiga killer like the rest’ (paraphrased), and when it’s time for the big lore reveal after giving him ma pignon, she basically cuts him off, explains it all, and then they forgot to remove the end line ‘do you remember anything?’

- they didn’t even change the credits - the art, fine, that would’ve taken a while, but curly’s sprite/credits description isn’t even swapped out for quote. that’s a single sprite & name. it would take me under a minute to change that and that’s with fan-made modding tools.

- basically it gets me mad because of the lack of quality/effort - i get it, wiiware was rushed, but they’ve had years and multiple new ports to fix it and apart from making a new quote portrait, nothing’s been done to even try and improve it

more than that, i designed them!! >:)

..which makes choosing a favourite hard. of course I'm gonna like them all if my tastes went into their visual design. also corru is an excellent writer and does a good job characterizing them.

if i MUST pick, Gakvu, or maybe Bozko as a close second. I like Gakvu's funny face and Bozko's whole "deal" in EP3 is awesome (and heart wrenching)
