Reading through poppin' party's band story was fun because their band story 0 was such a lovingly crafted and surprisingly well written story with some of my favorite character arcs and then I moved on to band story 1 and was just instantly hit with the reminder that ah. This was written long before.

#rat rambles #band posting #Im not saying this in a bad way its just kinda funny to me dnxmdjsh #popipa band story one isnt bad by any means its just that you can really tell it was one of the first #and you can also tell it was written quite some time before story 0 dnxmdms #most of the initial band story 1's are at least a lil sloppy but thats not unexpected nor is it bad #that being said I realllly get the impression that poppin'party and afterglow's were the earliest 2 written #afterglow's is by far the sloppiest and tbh I think thats a part of the reason that there doesnt seem to be as many afterglow enthusiasts #not to say people dont like afterglow but I get the vibe that people tend to like the individual characters more than the unit #and I think this is largely becauae their first band story really doesnt do a good job of establishing their dynamic naturally #afterglow story 1 is like the only band story that I really think is actually noticably sloppy from a new players perspective #its not like. bad. but it is again noticably messier than the others as far as character dynamics go at least #theres a lot of telling instead if showing to the point that its very noticable and distracting #Im definitely not saying 'grrrr afterglow story 1 is super bad why did they do this >:(' though like it was one of the firsts its expected #and fine that it doesnt quite hold up to the quality of more recent stuff fjxnsjsh #and again its not super bad or anything Im just noting that it doesnt do a great job at portraying the grouo dynamic #honestly I have a fun time looking back on it and the other ones simply because you can rly see how much the writing has improved #in hindsight though one thing they did that Im personally impressed with is how they managed to intertwine the different band's characters #like when I first started out I had like no fucking interest in pastel*palletes #but just going through the band stories I was interested in was enough to have them gain my intrigue #just going through those other stories was enough to make me want to learn more abt these other people I hadnt previously given a shit abt #which is pretty impressive in my opinion a lot of games with big casts fail to do that for me #a lot of them dont put in the work of making you actually interested in getting to know all the characters so I just think thats neat #tbh I still low key rly wanna do some kind of dub for bandori's stories #mainly because I rly wanna give more people the ability to go through them and experience these lovely little sapphics tales #I know that going through them would have been infinitely easier for me if I could just listen to them at least dnxnsksh #but I wouldnt even know how to begin organising a project like that sndmdkxndh #like obviously I couldnt voice every character myself so Id need to find more people willing to voice act #and then Id need to deal with intructing people and editing together voice lines and all that jazz #and thats a lot to try and take on with no previous experience djxmsmznd
