Everything involving these twins is fucking awful.
Wish I had been more aggressive with all the friendships from the beginning because they gate a lot of the sidequests behind how many friends you have. And often the friendships are just “visit this place periodically.”
The game loves to interrupt you with the Kamurocho Shop Chairman telling you there are ultrabad guys around and you should take care of them. This happens about every 12 minutes.
I unlocked the girlfriend sub-game about 25 hours in. Against my previous judgement to keep Yagami volcel I tried it. It is maybe the most that this kind of thing in RgG games has felt like two adults getting to know each other. The dating choices are Adult OL that works in IT, 19 year old country girl trying to make it as a singer, and the female twin. I went on two dates with the OL and decided I had seen enough.
A lot of the side quests are pretty lazy this time around.
