I Knew It! No Human Butt Is That Defined!
I've finished 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim!
Ryoko not remembering Gouto is considerably more disconcerting now that I know they dated for half a year.
Ugh. Ida was already the worst, and now I learn that he tricked Ryoko into infecting the Sentinels with DD-426?
Ryoko just sort of accepts the fact that she can't remember her own name. She doesn't seem especially distressed or surprised. It's slightly heartbreaking.
I don't especially care for Juro Kurabe/Megumi as a pairing, but I do like that, when Juro says he loves her, he acknowledges the strange possibility that it's because of Izumi's memories in him. 'Maybe it's because of his memories... but even so.'
I suppose there's also some interesting potential for tragedy in Kurabe being in love with her while she's laser-focused on turning him into someone else.
Given this game's varied shipping potential, it's a bit of a shame most of the characters are clearly paired off by the end. I just want everyone to have a crush on everyone else!
I love Ei responding to the video of his own past self with 'Sounds like a real moron.'
Don't expense your taxi when you're doing a murder!
Morimura and Izumi were also together in 2188?
Poor Miura, only learning they were living inside a virtual reality after fighting with everything he had to defend it!
Poor everyone, learning that everyone in their lives except the other pilots was an AI.
Awww, the reunion with Miwako is really sweet! They know she's an AI, but they still love her.
It's sort of hilarious that Ei is too socially awkward to show up in the epilogue.
Really hard not to read Juro and Megumi's 'you should come over to our house later' to Izumi as an invitation for a weird threesome, given that it immediately follows Izumi calling himself a third wheel.
Ogata getting emotional over Wajima is INFINITELY DELIGHTFUL. I am loving this epilogue.
I really need to write fanfiction where they complete Operation Aegis and end up trapped in the ruined world forever. I feel it's my destiny to write this fic.
My final verdict is that 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is the perfect game if you're me and is probably still a very good game if you're not. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys extremely story-heavy games full of wild twists.
A word of advice to anyone playing this game: it looks like you can save mid-battle, but loading the file will just put you back at the beginning of the battle. Don't be me and discover this in the last quarter of the final battle.
