god im conflicted. the True Ending for pokemo nascent has a lot of cool stuff written for it but its also bullshit for the party to put the pieces together and id be compromising a lot of its thematics if i just made it easier directly.

@raindare im thinking aobut how this could be handled. i wonder if theres a way to implement save scumming into the story so we can first discover the requirements and then carry them out. like in [Undertale] or cave story

@raindare or maybe an [Epitaph] for the players to solve to determine the steps required

@voyagerwitch the problem is the epitaph is a riddle someone wanted solved, ultimately.

@raindare that doesn't mean it has to be an in-universe riddle made for that purpose. remember that fay is a character that exists.

@voyagerwitch fay is too much of a dumbass to give them an epitaph about this

@raindare its a loose comparison. little vague hints and hearsay. i don't think it's necessary that the party finds their way to the true ending on their own; it's almost more interesting to me if the miracle ultimately happens because of the non-adventurers.

@voyagerwitch oh its not necessary. its just that the way is so well-hidden that its unlikely for there to be much good help.

@raindare i mean, taht's fair, but like... there are people who are very strong and knowledgeable and with some degree of goodwill that we already know, too. quillaia. uxie. tempel.

@voyagerwitch quillaia wouldn't know. uxie would probably know most or all of it but its equally likely theyve been threatened in the past not to reveal anything under any circumstances. tempel probably not.

@raindare also i thought of a way to game this

@voyagerwitch how. tell me. ive told you things.
