I LOVE The NPCs In Custom Robo!

For those of you who don't know, Custom Robo is a franchise where you solve every issue with tiny, psychic robot wars. I've recently been replaying the GameCube game for nostalgia reasons, and the gameplay is fun, but honestly my favorite part is talking to random NPCs because they are just delightfully odd. 

For example, there's a park in the game you can visit, and on a bench you'll see a cute couple who spend all their time fawning over one another. You can visit the park pretty much every day, and they're almost always there. At first you assume they just go there a lot, but on the third day the girl admits they've just been sitting on the same bench for three straight days and she's hungry. THEN THEY'RE THERE THE NEXT DAY!

The only time you see them outside of the park is when they join a 2v2 tournament. Only to lose horribly since they can't stop acting all lovey-dovey long enough to put up a fight. Speaking of the tournament, there's a bracket made up entirely of nameless, generic, male NPCs, totally identical, and as you talk to them throughout the tournament, it becomes increasingly obvious that they can't tell each other apart and no one knows who's actually fighting whom. You can even chat with some of them before the tournament, and all they'll have to say is something along the lines of, "Sorry I don't have a name or really anything to say. They just put me here for atmosphere…"

There's also one of my favorite little weirdos in the game I want to talk about. As you progress through the game, plot stuff happens that increasingly involves the city's police squad. That means you'll probably see random officers around the place as the story goes on. One of them you meet at a testing facility trying to get his Class-D license! Except, officers in Custom Robo require a Class-A license just to join the police squad…

Your character will ask him about that, and the guy will just say, "Yeah, I'm not a police officer. I just think they're cool, so I made this outfit at home." MAN IS JUST STRAIGHT UP LARPING! Even funnier, you can keep visiting the testing facility to chat with him as he tries and fails to obtain a license, and eventually he'll start just cheering on the evil organization terrorizing the city since he thinks if they become a big problem, they'll lower the police squad's standards enough for him to join. Not even subtly, he's just outright cheering them on, just yelling stuff like, "HECK YEAH! GO ROBO MAFIA!"

Anyway... Custom Robo is fun and people should play it. Bye! 👋
