Villains villa

I’m loving the new villa feature in Pitter-Patter Pop, especially since I can finally put my favorite villain characters in rooms (I didn’t want to put them in the house with the others because I felt like they wouldn’t play nice with the other kids, so to speak). Buuuut now I’m stuck again because not all villains are created equal lol. So far I have Kira, Diavolo, and Doppio in one villa. (If I had Sheer Heart Attack Kira, I would have used him, but I don’t. If PPP would give us Kosaku Kira/Bites the Dust Kira, that would be even better!) I’d like to fill out the house more, but I can’t think of anyone else who would get along with them :(

Kira’s father (Yoshihiro) and Stray Cat would both be good picks (I’d really like Kira to have some companionship), but neither are in PPP (yet).

On the Part 5 side of things, Squalo and Tiziano would be passable choices (though not at all comparable in terms of companionship to Yoshihiro/Stray Cat and Kira), but they’re not in PPP yet either.

I would consider DIO or High DIO, but I don’t have either yet, and also, DIO is kind of the worst. Read: Does not play nice with the other kids. Similar problem with Kars.

just pitter-patter pop things

Wondering about the Pitter-Patter Pop universe. How did the characters end up living in this house? Do they ever leave the house? Are the food furniture items actual, edible food, or frustrating plastic replicas? Do the characters get annoyed by the fake windows (i.e. apparently glass windows that can’t possibly be real since they would only look into the next room)? Have I unwittingly put them in a confusing, unsettling, parody of reality that tactlessly references their prior vivid existences?

Worrying about my characters getting bored/stir crazy from being stuck in the house, and trying to change their room designs frequently to give them some variety

Luckily, we can now send characters on adventures, so I don’t have to worry about them feeling like they’re eternally trapped in some mind-boggling prison. I feel much better knowing that they’re able to get out and about and do things.

Also, the gift bags look kind of like they might be cookie or candy bags and are consumed upon use, so I feel a bit better about the furniture food situation.

Seeing characters react to/be pleased by gifts is also quite nice and makes me feel like they’re happy living in my house.

Trying to optimize room assignment so that characters are adjacent or diagonal to as many characters that they like as possible (and as far away from characters that they dislike as possible)

Trying to balance cozy and interesting decor. Most of the rooms do not have beds, which is quite odd to me, but I like to try to at least have a few material comforts, like a comfy-looking couch or armchair, food, etc. For Josuke and friends, I gave each of them a TV and video console because I thought they’d like to play video games. In addition to things that are explicitly patterned after the character or part, I like to add things that I think they’ll like. For example, in Rohan Kishibe Goes to Gucci, he makes a remark about how much he likes Italy, so I’ve used some of the Vento Aureo rooms for him. He likes to travel so I thought that the train one might be especially appropriate for him.

Marine biology themed room for 4taro (Does everyone do this? Lol)

Wondering how 4taro would react to being given 3taro’s hat but not giving it to him because what if it reminds him of Egypt and makes him really sad?

Putting Coco Jumbo in a room above the room designed to look like the room created by Mr. President (bonus points if the room with Coco Jumbo in it has Giorno in it, since the ceiling decoration for the Mr. President room has Giorno’s face looking through the window in the key).

Trying to avoid rooms that would stir bad memories or associations. Battles that were won are okay, but battles that were lost are to be avoided.

Not allowing evil characters to get too powerful so that they don’t cause trouble for the others

More generally, maintaining a power hierarchy in which my favorite characters are at the top and power decreases loosely as my liking decreases...is that fucked up?

Sending less favorite characters on fetch quests for gifts that I give to other characters...

Only sending characters on adventures that correspond to their part. This might change though as I don’t want them to get bored and they might like to see other parts of the world.

Rohan is my favorite character in JoJo so I’ve leveled him up the most and I also lavish him with all the nicest gifts.

My most leveled characters (page 1) in order are Rohan, Josuke, Diavolo, Giorno, Trish, 4taro, Sticky Fingers Bruno, Narancia, Koichi, and Okuyasu. The next tier down (page 2) has Kira, Jonathan, Gold Experience Giorno, Polnareff, Speedwagon, Lisa Lisa, 2seph, Avdol, 3seph, and Formaggio. I would probably put Trish lower and Kira higher based on my liking of their characters in the anime, but I like Trish’s PPP power better than Kira’s, so she gets a lot more use. I assume they’ll eventually release a Kosaku Kira, so hopefully that version will have a better power.

The only character who I really want but don’t yet have is Fugo. Abbacchio, Mista, regular Bruno, and Risotto would also be nice to have. Crazy Diamond Josuke, Act III Echoes Koichi, and Yuya would be nice just to complete my Part 4 characters, since Diamond Is Unbreakable is my favorite part.

Refusing to take special release DIO even though his power is really good because I despise him

Saving up all my diamonds for whenever a new Rohan is released. I want more Rohans!!!! Currently I think we basically only have antagonist Rohan; like, we don’t even have Rohan with Heaven’s Door as a physical form, while other characters do have their Stand floating behind them even in their base release. So Heaven’s Door Rohan seems like a natural next step. But I’d like to see a Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan Rohan too! Rohan at the Louvre Rohan and Rohan Goes to Gucci Rohan would be nice, but since PPP is anime only, they’re not really only the table. But since we do have the TSKR OVAs, I feel like that stuff is totally valid PPP material.

Trying to select characters for battle based on canon relationships (pairing those that like each other, playing them against known rivals/enemies). (In Eyes of Heaven, different pairs of characters give unique dialogue and combos, which I really like. I love when Rohan and Koichi are played together and it says, “We’re best friends!” So cute!! It doesn’t happen in PPP, but I still like to think about such things.)

Rationalizing impossible/improbable battles by saying that one is possessed, an imposter, etc., or that characters that are usually enemies have learned to work together to fight a greater evil. (I’m not allowed to play story mode of Eyes of Heaven until I finish the manga due to spoilers, but I’ve seen some clips and it seems extremely cool and fun!)
