#i reallllly wanna explore tilaarin

So…I just recently finished the newest chapter of Andromeda six, AND BEFORE ANYONE STARTS ANYTHING IN MY COMMENTS…

Spoliers under the cut :3

There are somethings that I liked and disliked about this chapter- WHICH IS TOTALLY FINE. You guys may have things you liked and others may have things they liked, we don’t need to bash each other for that.

Before I go into my thoughts on…the thing that everyone is talking about on the A6 tag, let me start with the minor things I did and didn’t like.

First of all, I am now the proud mother of Bob Moss. If anything were to happen to him, I would kill everyone in the room and then myself. I did run into a bug that everyone else seems to run into, specifically with June confessing that he did in fact have feelings for my traveler even though she never flirted with him?? I’m sure that the next patch will seal that up. I love love lovvvveeed the small moments with the LI’s, how both the traveler and the LI were able to just be vulnerable around each other instead of worrying about the next mission or the weight of grief and regret on their shoulders. I am going through it again just to see a different side of that scene, but I still think it’s cute. The ending of the chapter did seem a bit rushed, I will agree with some people on that. In fact, the whole chapter it self seemed...shorter (?) in a way. I don’t know if anyone else felt that way also, but it’s just something that stood out to me. I did run into a few grammar issues, but other than that the dialogue and descriptions were amazing, as always. 

Now onto...the thing. More specifically, the Nerissa reveal. Before anyone comments on how I feel or that I should feel this instead of that, please note that this is my personal opinion and that I am open to have civil discussions and debates about this topic in my asks and dm’s, but I will not stand for people bashing me just because of my own thoughts. If you absolutely do not and will not stand by my opinion, the block button is there for a reason. Hugs and kisses. <3

Anyways, when the reveal happened I felt...indifferent about it at first. I wasn’t totally stoked when it happened but I wasn’t disappointed either. It was more like “Oh. That’s cool. Now can we go explore this cool new planet?”. That sort of thing. What did stand out to me about the interactions between Nerissa and the rest of the crew was the fact that when she arrived, her being there literally put the MC back into the shadow. A lot of people have complained about this, but before you click off the post, just hear me out here. What if Nerissa is not what she seems? We still have four more chapters to go through after this and this is the part of the story where things pick up in terms of action and tension. I saw someone post a picture of a dev post from discord on here and it stated that they intention behind the reveal that Nerissa was still alive as a way for character development in our travelers. I’m gonna paraphrase a bit here from the post, but it literally says that we can either treat this as the continuation of the mentor- student bond that the traveler and Nerissa had when they were still in the palace OR this is gonna be an opportunity for the traveler to realise that the person that they looked up to throughout their lives is not who they truly are. Knowing the fact that this visual novel is the definition of plot twists when looking back on the other chapters, I would say that the dev team is going to aim for something leaning towards the latter rather then the former. Of course, all of that is just a theory and I’m actually a tad bit glad that the MC can now have a chance at some character development, though I will admit that it could’ve been set up a tad bit better. The devs did a really good job at keeping her at the forefront of our minds though. 

That’s all I have to say about the chapter. Thought I would put my two cents in there while everyone else was doing the same! Until next time!
