I guess one of the more interesting parts of this stream is that because the game has two equally important scenarios, as I'm nearing the end with one character, in reality, I'm only at about the halfway point. While there are definitely other games that have pulled this kind of thing, I can't really remember if I've streamed anything with that kind of a gimmick before. I mean, it's a little more involved that, say, playing through every character's "arcade mode" in a fighting game. But it's still interesting because it's like the game itself seems to be designed to entice players to see both sides of the story.

For some reason, today's stream felt like a "waste of time", despite the fact that I accomplished a lot. I think a lot of that stems from the fact that it was mostly story progression... and up until the end, I didn't go through any new dungeons. I guess that really doesn't determine whether or not you actually make progress in an actual RPG, let alone this action-platformer that deems it necessary to masquerade as one. But they definitely feel like the meat of the game.

The way it's looking, I should definitely be done with Mint's story in the next session, but I'm hoping I have enough time to also at least get a head start on Rue's. I think the worst part about that will be determined by whatever effects his... more subdued personality has on the game's tone and whether the goofier members of the supporting cast will have their quirkier natures clamped down on his side of things. Even so, at least his transformation gimmick should be interesting.
