>>56430184It's such a nice change of pace from Pokemon immediately imprinting onto you as soon as they appear on screen. And at the same it's a natural step-up from Pokemon getting more agency in the stories. Here you have a group with clear motivations and goals that justify their actions (to them, at least) which causes them to directly clash with the player. They just struck gold with these guys. I never thought going from irredeemable assholes to redeemable assholes would be so effective as character development.
