Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026All in all, the game is pretty much as I expected so far. Really great characters but a completely random smattering of quality elsewhere. It is hard for me to praise the story or gameplay wholesale when they're so inconsistent. 000
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The game letting you just straight up skip part 2 is so funny. It's like how you can skip clashes in part 1. They realized they made something that sucks so instead of fixing it they just let you skip lol. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I have no desire to ever play part 2 again but I do need to since I need to recruit Nathan and Creek with someone. I think I heard part 3 is supposed to be easier? I don't know how important it's going to be to migrate units up from other routes. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026And Eshmel barely even did anything. When they popped in as a guest unit they were too weak to even be useful against Dagda. And then of course they also disappear next chapter. I do not know why this game is so wishy-washy with guest units. Also why is Bertrand a guest unit if he's in all chapters 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Part 2 just felt so weird. Some cool plot beats, but also so much that feels rushed. I haven't started part 3 yet, so maybe I'm missing something but I really think they could've just combined the two. I don't see why there needs to be a timeskip. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026*Sofia is also really good, forgot about her. Also why did Aswan and Tahonia just vanish after their chapter. Did I do something wrong. And they don't let you have Bertrand's crew after that first chapter either for some reason. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Finished Fortune's Weave part 2. God most of the maps were so tiresome. Unit balance is a huge issue here. IDK if I just made bad unit choices but Tobias and Bertrand are crazy broken, Theo, Bona and Lilian could hold their own, and everyone else felt like deadweight most of the time. 120
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Ubame get out of the Annual Aki Sisters Autumn-Establishing-Page. This is all they have to their name. 07924
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Suika reappears after 20 chapters of absence. Why was she gone. 000
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Also why did they give you so many deploy slots when recruiting characters in part 1 is so annoying. Jumping from 9 to 15 is crazy. I understand it for part 3 since that's after you do all the routes but it's just unnecessary here. 000
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Obviously every FE has reinforcements but proximity spawns like these are pretty much the worst kind. And there's not even any forts you can cover to stop them from spawning. Adding all the fire tiles on chapter 3 was also a huge pain in the ass for no reason 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Currently 4 chapters into Fortune's Weave part 2. Story and difficulty are a lot better than part 1 though the constant multi-turn reinforcements really kill the pacing on the maps. Any time you think you're making progress you just have to turtle for a few turns to clean up all these extra bozos 100

Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026That's all I got for now. Might come back to some of this stuff later. At the very least I'm glad there's things happening that are at least worth talking about. Still have to pray for more Satori next chapter since there's so many perspectives going on that it's not a guarantee. 000
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's been said a million times, but it is a shame that we can't really enjoy the character appearances as much since there's always the possibility they're possessed and it's not really them. And if it really is them, I feel like they're written to be purposefully obtuse just to make them suspects. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Also are we really going to go through the entire DDC arc and still not learn what the Grassroots Youkai Network is? Sad. Most of the DDC cast this arc just feel like space fillers that could've been any other characters. Sekibanki was really cute though. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think we are far too many chapters into this story to still be getting scenes of "Oops! We're back at square one!" But oh well. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Sensing unnatural aura from like 1000+ meters away is one of Mamizou's abilities I guess. How convenient. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think this may deconfirm Mi2chi being a dream world counterpart? The point seems to be that this Mizuchi is too kind and a dream counterpart running around wouldn't affect the behavior of the real one. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Of course these should've been thoughts she came up with much earlier, especially when she already mindread Mizuchi off screen, but I will take what we can get. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think this is the first time we've actually had internal monologue for Satori doing deductions? I haven't gone back to check. But god this is what I've wanted the entire series. It's only a tiny part and I fear it'll all get derailed again next month but for now it's a glimpse into a better world. 100
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Pretty sure this scene is just here to explain why they don't just use the mallet to solve everything, but there has always been a point that only an inchling can use the mallet. So maybe a Mizuchi-possessed inchling couldn't? And she's saying she sealed it away as a bluff to cover? idk prolly not 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I could see her thinking that Seija is currently the one possessed, that would make some sense. But seemingly based on the translation, she thinks that normal, non-possessed Seija did it. Even though Reimu already told her about the 2 Mizuchi's theory? 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Why would she think this. Does she think Seija somehow has the same ability to possess people and drain their power? Is Marisa stupid. I honestly think Marisa might be the one that's possessed currently but it would have had to happen at some random point off-screen which would be infuriating. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Obviously this was the main basis for the original run of FDS too, but when you have the opportunity to learn from your mistakes and make a new story, why would you just use the same nonsense plot again? I guess Mi2chi is just acting on autopilot or something, but that is not a compelling story. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Also, speaking of the "Intimidate Reimu" plan. How does ZUN think that makes any sense. What, Reimu's going to be scared of someone who can defeat all her previous foes? The ones she already defeated herself? The ones that the other incident resolvers also defeat? Why? And what is even the end goal? 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Like, I think this idea works well in a vacuum and would be a much better goal for the antagonist than this nonsensical "Intimidate Reimu" plan we've been running with. But the way ZUN has written his other series before this really makes the idea fall flat. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I don't think this works well as a plot point. Ever since the beginning of the series we've had Hakurei Shrine accused of being a Youkai shrine, and so many chapters of WaHH and others have the shrine's reputation get worse. It's always been treated as comedic so I don't see why I should care now. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I hope Mizuchi gets to meet Junko next arc and their interaction goes like this. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I would normally speculate that Shinmy and Seija are secretly working together to cause problems here, but there's nothing to suggest that since Shinmy hasn't been doing anything. Neither seems to be possessed either unless we're getting fucky with the timeline or there's more than 2 Mizuchis. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Weird that we haven't had any interactions or even mentions about Shinmy and Seija's relationship. There's still presumably 2 chapters left for this arc so there's still time I suppose. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This is really cute though. This is one of the main things that the Samsara arc should be about. Developing Mizuchi and giving her connections to other characters in the series. Last time it was Tojiko so maybe she's getting one new friend per game. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I can't tell if this is supposed to be a meta joke about ZUN making a big deal about Shinmy showing up, only for her to be forgotten and not matter. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Also what are Reimu and Marisa even doing here. They are just wandering around for no reason? If they were looking for Banki on purpose that would make sense but they aren't. Splitting up from Satori is blatantly stupid since she's the only one that can immediately identify if someone's possessed. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This chapter is an improvement from last time, but all the issues with the core story structure are still here and worsening. For example, a few chapters ago we finally got the main characters together in 1 group. Only for them to split up again to give us even more perspectives to switch between. 110
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Ladies of the SDM is just as lovely as the day we lost it. I'm so happy it's back. 000
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 30/09/2026FW has one of the most obfuscated plots in the series with a convoluted premise and a bunch of important stuff only mentioned in one of the million different endings but ZUN thinks Toyohime is confusing? All you need to understand is that she's an important moon lady. Why is ZUN like this. 001

Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Something really funny about Gyro using his colored manga palette in the OP though. It really does look a lot better. Some of the lighting makes Johnny's outfit look light-blue at points too. A consolation, I suppose. 010
Tea @polllinnnn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Thank god the OP is so good though. When they had the steel ball hit the net I got actual chills. The transition from the Devil's Palm to Diego posing is so sick too. And Johnny and Gyro sharing coffee?? They get it. They understand. 110
