One of the biggest pieces of character creation in The Last Days of Friendship Valley is deciding your emotional strengths and weaknesses! These determine dialog choices, skill checks, who you get along with, and even what deck strategies are most viable. In short, whatever you choose determines your arc through the rest of the game!
So, with that in mind: which would you choose as your strength? And which would you choose as your weakness?
"I have a cool head." (strong vs anger) # TAG Characters who are strong vs anger are better at keeping their cool in irritating situations, acting with patience, and participating in good-faith arguments. Characters who are weak vs anger will lose their heads more easily, act rashly, and be unable to participate in some difficult conversations.
"I have boundless joy!" (strong vs sadness) # TAG Characters who are strong vs sadness are better at keeping their spirits up, holding emotional burdens, and putting a brave face on things. Characters who are weak vs sadness will be more easily upset, wear their hearts on their sleeves, and be worse at self-acceptance.
"I'm very brave." (strong vs fear) # TAG Characters who are strong vs fear are better at confronting the unknown, re-attempting failed encounters, and protecting others. Characters who are weak vs fear will be nervous around new situations, doubtful in the face of wonder, and unwilling to give second chances.
"I'm outgoing and resourceful." (strong vs discomfort) # TAG Characters who are strong vs discomfort are better at bypassing their limits, finding alternate solutions to problems, and meeting new goats. Characters who are weak vs discomfort will have more rigid boundaries, be more singleminded in their problem-solving, and have trouble ignoring their own needs.
"I can handle a lot at once." (strong vs stress) # TAG Characters who are strong vs stress are better at juggling a lot at once, holding themselves together in difficult situations, and performing tasks with great focus. Characters who are weak vs stress will be more easily overwhelmed, have less wiggle room in their energy capacity, and be more likely to panic under pressure.
