I’m not sure if there’s any soulslike other than Lies of P that has a companion in it that accompanies you throughout your journey through the game. And many people didn’t enjoy Gemini because of his quippy nature and retelling of main plot points when they happen.
Are you among those people who did not like Gemini? If yes, why and how could Round 8 have made him more to your liking?
And would you be opposed to an NPC follower that is your constant companion? Think, Solaire went along with you the entire game and helped in battle. Would you enjoy that?
I didn’t mind Gemini, it helped balance the fact that we never hear P speak, I only cringed during the ride to the church.
As for companions, I’m hoping that in the next game in that universe ( the wizard of oz game) we get Dorothy as a protagonist and toto as a sort of companion/summon, that seems like a no brainer to me. Obvs a silent companion but taking that Dorothy would be a voiced protagonist.
Also the prospect of a named, female protagonist in a soulslike has me pumped!
I didn’t even mind that. Usually, I find that kind of dialogue to be very cringey, but maybe because I like(d) the game so much, I just embraced his silly monologues and saw it as a nod from the developers that they’re in the know.
That would be perfect, actually. Hard agree.
Absolutely! And in a non-objectified way too, hopefully. Not like the female protagonist of a recent certain China-inspired soulslike that features certain… assets
Oh right! I keep forgetting that game exists :P
Also, for Gemini it was a small cringe, I actually kind of missed his commentary a bit in the DLC.
