#BUT WHEN THEYRE ROASTED TOO OUUUUGGGHGH SOOOOO GOOOD i love shiitake mushroom...

No you're right, the file naming system helped a great deal in terms of being able to verify ages and certain events on the timeline (even some minor characters like Ushio have them, which is neat). Because like, Hoshino does specify in-game that Arakawa was 14 when he killed Toshio, but without a year that's not exactly helpful...

You normally have to do a lot of mental gymnastics to figure out Arakawa's age, to the point the only official profile that listed his age was wrong, so it was a HUGE find to have those straightforward numbers at the time (even if they aren't 100% accurate; Jo probably shouldn't be 21 with how Yokoyama says he ages his characters by year without setting birth dates, and Arakawa's 25 model is used for more scenes where he's not 25, But You Know).

#whats interesting is that arakawa's 90's-2000 model doesnt have an age attached to it. dont ask a woman her age ig idk <- this killed me but it also reminds me they did this unironically with Saeko

Actually wait forget the entire rest of this ask I wanna talk about what was going on with these profiles... they were SoA exclusives... but like girl... wrong age (he's 62 not 63)... favorite food is To Be Fair Something He Talks About LIKE It's His Favorite but is still a dish he's only had once in his lifetime... no hobbies or special abilities... trying to sassily sidestep not knowing Saeko's age... inability to decide whether to present alcoholism as a hobby or favorite food... ONLY Adachi having a disliked food...

Nanba and Ichi's are okay though :) but these crushed my soul for real if you can't trust a character profile what can you trust😭

Anyway If Nothing Else I hope you enjoy these relics :) I'm gonna go write in about stuff I forgot to mention before bye

leaving rn i totally forgot hoshino says arakawa's age BYE is it evident i havent watched the cutscenes outside of the arakawa family in a hot minute. cause its been A Hot Minute

jo's model being labeled 21 did make me scratch me head tho so im glad im not insane for thinking it was a Questionable label (even if i expected myself to be wrong about SOMETHING in that post anyway LMAO)

the official bios are gutting me tho like yeah i GUESS alcoholism is a hobby but im sure bestie has more than that.... like her age..... cmon now...

#snap chats #yeah arakawa's special ability is having game in his late 40's and 60's idfk he seemed proud of that #SORRY ILL STOP MENTIONING IT NOW it just makes me laugh... Never Have I Ever like calm down pops... #why adachi gotta be a shiitake mushroom hater.. cmon now theyre good...... i love them in chicken dumplings the most #BUT WHEN THEYRE ROASTED TOO OUUUUGGGHGH SOOOOO GOOOD i love shiitake mushroom... #nancy chan in ichis profile.... shes perefct...... #nanba's bio reminding me i miss warm milk :( they dont have microwaves at my dorm and i only brought an air fryer... #like i GUESS i can boil milk in a pot... bro i just want my calcium back.. #anyway more write-ins YAAAY YIPPEEEE !!!!!!!
