I really wish I'd gotten more threads with Reiko, given Sora's sense of indebtedness to her...

Anyone you wish you'd managed more threads with?

I had very few threads throughout the game as I struggled with things in RL and ingame. Just assume there was meetings around the place :)

Building the clan, having children and helping people. That's what she does best

Nothing did, I just relented as I didn't really feel like I had a choice. It baffled Reiko that everyone just took this at face value and didn't even question what they could do. If they can use a name to close a portal, they could use a name to do so many other things. In the end it didn't matter I guess though.

Just wanted to say that Reiko was a big reason why Reo went to Spider, after going into the game with me thinking he might go Scorpion or Unicorn. I remember being gobsmacked when she pretty much just handed over 2 fingers of jade to this random guy, and that level of care and acceptance really started to crack Reo's shell

I'm glad :) Reiko cares for all her kin, and she's just a caring person in general. It takes a lot for her to dislike someone (you basically have to threaten her life :lol: )

So, I just thought I'd zip in here and say thank you for the pre-game developments with these two. I kind of ran with them pretty hard, and it helped a lot in establishing Phi (later Nozomi) and her motivations coming down... not to mention the fact that her knowing to bring jade is why she's not tainted to this day, because at least one of those rolls was very close.

I wanted to specifically say that, while Reiko had a great deal of trouble handling the desperation of the plan and fully trusting Hantei (both, I thought, fairy logical IC concerns. It was a lot to take, and the situation didn't provide alternative routes. With so much at stake, no character likes going down an unknown path towards a dangerous, potentially failing plan they've dedicated much of their life to), I found how she coped and knuckled down despite her misgivings to be a good, positive note for the character.

Does the fact that Hantei risked his life to bring her husband back help her to make peace with the troubled elements in their relationship going forward, in your opinion?
Are you planning to have her go fully blind from the visions of Jigoku as you'd hinted in the past?
Does this feel like a mostly satisfying book end for her rather complex storyline since Dawn 1, to see her husband and love rescued and be able to finally have the family she's dreamed of for five years?

And since we're chatting, I'll ask one of my least favorite Q&A questions (mostly because I like to think I can gauge these things in RP somewhat). Did Reiko have any feelings about the random tribesperson who followed down out of the mountains to help save Fu Leng?
I'm also a tiny bit curious what her thoughts were on Shinsei.

Seconding many of Nozomi's questions. :D

And Saruko genuinely tried to make the best of it for Reiko's marriage ceremony! I guess it wasn't exactly the dream wedding she imagined?

How will the events of this game influence Reiko's viewpoints going forward with FuFu and in relation to the other clans?

So any slight disappointment at not ending up the Demon Bride?
