Rio's Pace

So coming to the last game and the last new character Rio Sonogami. Compared to the other 3 characters I don't really know what to think of her. She is a lot to analyze.
What you have to know before you read this: Play all True endings of all 3 games and preferably read my previous 3 chapters if you have not done so already. Not that you ned to but sure shameless selfpromotion is shameless. Others do it too I might as well as well.
Rinnes Fate ( s/13862154/1/Final-Creation-Rio-Reincarnation)
Arusu Application ( s/13862154/2/Final-Creation-Rio-Reincarnation)
Marina Memorybreak ( s/13862154/3/Final-Creation-Rio-Reincarnation)
To start off: I am uploading this fourth because Rio is the last character to be introduced but this is actually the second chapter that I am writing. Because Rio Reincarnation is still pretty fresh in my memories.
I actually wanted to go for a rant here as usual: Insert 300 words here. No joke.
Let's keep it short and mostly objective.
Cons first:
Grammar and proofreading as good as non existent. Shido's Digest. Wrong information, things were left out or added that did not happen. After half of the first game was summed up I X-d through it because it was all wrong anyway. I do not know why the game forces you to watch it before playing the game... It's ok for if you want to hop into the game and didn't play the previous 2 long ones. But this is a no-go. There are I believe 3 or 4 endings. You play the game and get forced into a choice at the end. A yay or nay. You find the key throughout the game which you need to give to Rio. The first one always gives you the true ending and the other ones are gotten with the second answer.
Also NO DATES WHATSOEVER influence the ending. We also only get 2 days for dates in the game. And there are no choices in them either. It is scripted dialogue. 38 memories I believe in total. Low Budget title I guess. They probably remembered that they had a memory in the first game that made it look like there would be a sequel with Rinne in it and built a game around it. This is what we got... There is some good stuff though...
Pros next:
Really not alot here. But I will try and pad it out as much as I can. This is fanservice for people who wanted to see more of Rinne in a daily life setting. And how it would be if she tried to go for Shido. People like me pretty much. Rio is Rinnes and Shidos daughter. Rio is cute I guess. Like Yoshino. In one of the endings Shido and Rinne marry and name their child Rio which looks just like Rio in the game. Hard to get. No joke. But my favorite ending for sure. I love Rinne after all.
Marina is Rios protector for weird reasons. While Rio strolls through the world and does whatever she likes Marina protects her at night. Just so she has some spotlight and because Maria is alive too and goes to the same school as Shido, Rinne and the others. Which is quite interesting. Maria is a live-in at Shidos house like in the previous game. And a funny and only rival to Rinne. That lives next to them. Only these three, Rio and Marina know that there were other worlds before this and they should actually all be dead. Which also means that Rio could not exist and would never have been born in the first place.
NOT EVEN TIME TRAVEL CAN EXPLAIN THIS. AND TIME TRAVEL IS AN ACTUAL THING in this universe. And follows certain rules. THERE CAN'T BE SOMEONE WHO CREATES A NEW WORLD IF SHE WAS NEVER BORN IN THE FIRST PLACE! Maria got turned into an app. But she wasn't a living being from the start so this is ok and cool. There is even an explanation for why Marina is in this game although her memory was destroyed last time. BONUS POINTS FOR THIS!
One thing that neither falls under pros or cons:
The true ending is incredibly wrong. RInne and Rio disappear pretty much. This is not the true ending even if the game tries to smack it into my head 100+ times. I do not care. I do not care that the trophy is called true ending. Marina the Romantic is an acceptable title for the ending though. If Rio WAS supposed to exist then the only true ending is the one where Rinne marrys Shido. Fail Game... But at least one of your endings actually delivers exactly this ending. The true true ending. But it is not the one you think is the true ending... It might also be that they give you this trophy the first time you get one of the endings. If that is the case I take back what I said. But I do not think that is the case.
This story here kind of is how it felt playing this game. Rio... I don't even have anything to say to you after this. Except. Deal with it. All contradictions in this story are 100% made intentionally. You smack her in the face and she just does not care... Even her imagination disrespects her.
Welcome to my place!
Whose place you might ask?
Well Rio's of course
Silly you
This is my Place
My Woooooorld
Made for me and only me
And for Mama and Papa of course
And my Nanny
And everything here goes how I want it to
My Place, my World, my Rules
So don't start thinking of anything funny
Or Rio will have to punish you
How could you even think of doing something to poor little Rio
You might ask
Well believe it or not you don't have to
Because what you do or don't do doesn't matter here
Everything goes the way I want it to
As fast or slow...
As I want it to go
So let's play a game shall we?
Let's play lots and lots of games
Do you know?
Do you know what my secret is?
Try and guess
Take your time
Not that you can leave this place anyway
Now that you are here
In my world
Where I rule
And have to abide to my rules
But how can this be
You ask I guess
After all silly me
Cotton Candy color hair
Innocent demeanor
Loli looks
Who would suspect someone like me
To be the ruler of this world
Well I guess I am not quite the ruler
Even I must abide by the rules that were set
When this world was created this was set
I am the ruler of this house that is this world
But noone or nothing can hurt me
I am immortal
So no need to worry
Everything goes at Rio's Pace
And soon I will be reunited with Mama and Papa
It will be so fun
We can be a happy family
One last time
Before this world comes to an end
What you didn't know that?
Don't worry
You will be safe
You can trust me
How do you know that will happen?
You ask
It will happen...
Because Rio says that it will happen
And what Rio says will happen will come true
There is something that I need though
y the way have you found out what my secret is by now?
No?
Yes?
What you didn't even have to try?
What?
It came flying at you?
You might know it?
Then tell Rio
How can you say no to me?
What?
You think you can't leave this place because I lost the keys?
The door fell shut after you opened and closed it?
And my parents aren't home yet?
And that that is the reason you can't let me out now?
You actually don't even know why you came here in the first place?
Of course I know where the keys are
You can't bully Rio like that
I just don't want to show them to you
Since you are not allowed to leave this place anyway...
You must play with Rio...
Hm suddenly you are gone...
I didn't want to play with you anymore anyway
You big bully
Since you didn't want to help me
I am sure I will find it out by myself
You won't stop me
After all at Rio's Place everything and everyone...
Goes at Rio's Pace
Please leave a review, I'd appreciate it for my future work.
A/N: The randomness in combinations of characters to date almost broke me in the first two playthroughs. I had zero idea how to follow a path. Just to find out there isn't one... Gg. You got me there game.
