  1. The words "Nintendo Switch" and "graphical capabilities" are mutually exclusive, that much I agree with. However, it is a caveat that most people (I'd like to think) are very well in observance of. I, for one, pretty much made the decision to just buy titles on the Switch that I can't get elsewhere (granted, I made two exceptions because of nostalgia and portability-- Tactics Ogre Reborn and Crisis Core Reunion, because my PSP was stolen before I could get far in either game). 

    Barring those two titles, I purchase for the PC any game that I can play on Steam/Epic.

    i don't have an ETA on the return of night forest because the color scheme has to be completely overhauled from how it used to be, thanks new forums.

    Thanks for reading my mind, I was about to ask lol

    I recently finished the golden route as well (though it was my first playthrough of this game). What did you think of the golden route?

    Having unlocked the Golden Route on my third (and final) playthrough, it felt satisfying, if not too idealistic.

    Spoiler

    I picked the Frederica and Benedict paths prior to it, and those are very much rooted in reality, perhaps too rooted in the case of the former, where we see Benedict's sense for realpolitik in full effect.

    I think they found a very nice way of incorporating that one absentee member of Dracula's court. 

    On that, they did a good job. It was one pivotal moment in what felt like (almost) half-season of book-ending work written into the overarching plot.

    The endings of Carmilla's sisters felt a touch melodramatic (not just Lenore). Maybe that was written on purpose to say that "hey, not everyone had a happy ending," I don't know.

    Another question though, is auto-start means they will automatically start the map continuously or immediate finish like in most mobile gacha. If it's former, what if the team lost?

    Your team will go through the battle as you normally would, only they'd be AI-controlled (they won't have an "immediate finish" like in other gacha games). If your team lost, you'd be able to field a new set of characters in modes like Tempest Trials+, otherwise it'll just go to Game Over where you can replay the last turn or give up.

    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE: N/A? There doesn't seem to be a thief or dagger-wielder in this game.

    You're right. No thieves/dagger-wielders are present in TMS #FE. Not even the villains IIRC. Off the top of my head, these were the weapon types for the heroes.

    • Itsuki/Chrom: Sword
    • Tsubasa/Caeda: Lance
    • Touma/Cain: Lance
    • Kiria/Tharja: Rod
    • Mamori/Draug: Axe
    • Eleanora/Virion: Bow
    • Yashiro/Navarre: Sword
  7. Okay, this has the possibility to sound incredibly reductionist, but you did force the hand that is about to be dealt.

    You're saying that it's not valid to criticize fanservice-y anime/manga because the kinds of thrills they give, however cheap, are viewed as de rigueur for the genre they represent? Do you realize the slope you're casually inviting everyone and his mother to bobsled on, luge in tow, with reckless fuck abandon, is inherently screwed up nine ways to Sunday?

    You're the one really making mountains out of mole hills here. Has anyone ever referred to the inconsistencies with other games as the singular reason Awakening is bad? I think not. It's something there, it's some that people don't like, but no one is talking about it like the game would have been perfect without it. The thing about Awakening, which is probably going to be the problem with a lot of works people look down on, is that there's a tonne of mole hills. So taking just one aspect and saying "it doesn't matter" and this people who have issue with it have no merit in their argument is basically a straw man.

    Thanks for saying what was on my mind. 

    I've (successfully up to now, I think?) avoided replying to these kinds of threads for various reasons, chief among them the enormous amount of hair-splitting and delving into minutiae about what makes a game dislikable on objective terms. I'd like to establish that the proposition is impossible to achieve, because gamers are free to like/dislike games/concepts/plots/whatever on whichever terms they see fit. A trivial thing for one is a dealbreaker for another, and that is fine. Unless you're out to convince someone to see merits where they're seeing lemons, that's when disappointment comes.

    If it's enough to break immersion/detract from enjoyment, that's valid criticism in my books.

    I adopt this credo for any game/anime/book I come across. And I save neurons doing so.

    I would disagree because suspension of disbelief is too subjective to really base any real discussion around.

    *italics mine*

    If by real discussion you mean looking for imaginary objective criticisms, then let's can all pretense and hop on our individual flights of fancy.

  9. The first few questions will have you describe, in 250 characters or less, what you like/don't like about the demo. The remaining questions dealt with whether or not you picked up the new characters and used them in-battle, how long were the battles for you, and if you play other SRPGs/Tactical RPGs. Weird that the survey didn't have anything like a notification that you were done with it, though. It just routed you back to the Nintendo website.
