I'll feel confident in myself and think I'm cool and interesting and fashionable and people would want to talk to me but I go to conventions alone and talk to no one and feel like a ghost and realise I might as well just be wearing a badge that says "NOTICE ME". Also I'm British.
@gristwatch So much of DR is about giving fans the catharsis of seeing what UT didn't do (MTT NEO fight, Gerson fight, elaboration on the SOULs) that it just seems like it's building up to that.
@gristwatch For the longest time I was kind of Gaster agnostic ("he's clearly relevant but won't necessarily make a physical appearance") but as time passes I'm more and more convinced this will be the case. I think it might be along the lines of the Gerson fight, but he's rewarding us.
Extra bit: Gaster allows the Weird Route to happen, but it's ultimately Toby's idea, his story. You have people debating on the ethics of it (and No Mercy): does it make you a bad person? Likewise, does it make Toby a bad person for implementing it? It's what the game is asking.
My take on Gaster's morality is that I believe him being a Toby/writer analogue is a crucial part of his character. Obviously Toby isn't evil for making his characters suffer... but if the characters themselves knew about him, how would they feel?
