Kinda bullshit that Jake is the same level as you after everything you've been through. Cool to see him though, I had totally forgotten about him. Although the reunion was a bit anti-climactic. MC reuinites with his childhood best friend, who he didn't even know was alive, and they're both like "Oh hey, you're here, cool", and move on lol XD. Was kind of weird. Also not sure how I feel about all the love interests being spread all over the world. This means we are going to have to go long periods of time without seeing most of them. I was cool with it this time, since Vanny is my favorite. But it might cause some pacing issues in the future. I hope the Dev finds a way to keep all the LI's together and with you
I was thinking the same thing. Haven't even made it to Jake yet, but I figured he was going to be a random enemy you'd have to Vegeta back into the story. After I met Vanny I was like "OK, that's enough friends. I don't even care about Jake anymore since I only saw him for 32 seconds before the tornado and he's just a random NPC to me."
