I was scared but turns out Abby is actually a good character. Doesn't yap nor recap every single line each character says every two seconds, doesn't talk on behalf of Rover. He actually had little screen-time during the quest. He is also cute AND, last but not least, he has an actual personality.
talking on behalf of the MC is a troupe that some anime have. It works really well to make the MC have a neutral personality so that players could put themselves in the MC's shoes.... and it works.
@@JRPGGG I think it's a terrible troupe for these types of games. Since the MC has lore and story behind them, they cannot be considered self inserts, and thus them not talking is not good at all. Thank God it's not the case for Rover, they actually talk a lot.
@balzo_benevolo the thing is why dont they do the silent mc thing like how doom,zelda, and the first dishonored clearly they can do better but just choose not to
I was concerned too but its not as bad as paimon because: 1) glorious skip button 2) doesn't pierce my ears shrieking 3) doesn't speak for us OR explain whay the story is saying all over because you see she explains the story all over, so she explains the story to recap whats going on, so she repeats what has been said so we understand, so she...
Paimon: > 1st meet by catched while fishing > Talking too much > Only eat foods and flying around the MC in the entire story Abby: > 1st meet saved the MC and Jiyan > The sleeper and not talkative (slightly sounds annoyed) > Actually looks cute > Eats/Swallowed Crownless and Dreamless that almost killed them > Canonically overpower > POKEMON!! Yeah, Abby wins high-diff 😂
one big thing i really appreciate from this scene is how animated and alive the characters feel. it's a breath of fresh air to see the characters actually move around, instead of alternating between the same 5 motions and facial expressions. hope kuro continues this trend with future story content!
Abby is pretty cute, I hope we're able to use it as an echo summon eventually. The fact it's only able to use it's powers in certain situations, probably means it'll be far off though. ( Maybe it will be like Cardcaptor Sakura, and it gets powered up later in the story with a strong form.)
I actually liked Abby. He don't repeat every dialogue. He sleeps unless we call him . He has done more than Paimon in 1.0 And JP is actually good to hear
Hate to break it to you guys, but an "annoying companion" who follows the silent MC has been a trope for years. Its not just Genshin that made it unbearable and a thing. Heck Zelda had it as well. That being said, what makes the trope work is when you have the companion actually be a companion. Someone who is the MC's aid, and actually contributes to the circumstances and conflicts of the MC. Why Hoyoverse decided to make Paimon the least contributing companion to the game is beyond me, but I do know that for a game thats supposed to be ramping up the story until we reach Celestia that payoff better be dam good for playing this game after 10 years. if for some reason Paimon is revealed to be that useless, then thats when ill be mad and consider Paimon a terrible character.
Abby is an eat, run and sleep character for now lmao, shows up, eats food, had some conversation with us and went back inside Rover to sleep again. Probably only gonna wake up again when he's needed in the plot which is good tbh.
Hate the name but like the character, it’s not yapping in a high pitched dog whistle voice. The animalistic look helps a lot too cus animals cuter than humans.
Unlike Pai*on Abby puts his permanent hunger at good use eating up world class bosses and TDs, sleep most of the time, doesn't try to kill us, doesn't talk for us and, above everything else... no eardrums piercing shrieking banshee-like yelling. Good character, but i hope that Kuro TRULY stops copying gensh*t. Did we really need a flying stalker again?
@@UryuCifer you can call "dumb hater" that thing that gave you birth from the bottom rear, dude. 😊 I ain't installing gensh*t ever again on my device. Now be nice and go take a walk, i heard that Mars is lovely in this season.
i actually really liked abby, at first i thought nah man another paimon but its actually really likable as a characters and nowhere near as annoying as paimon lol, another wuwa w
