MisterIceTeaPeach Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Chapter 22 is the most famous example because enemies have a shitton of authority stars. But the boss can be defeated in the first turn with grafcalibur, so you can ignore all upcoming trouble. Chapter 24x is also one of those. Send Olwen to the exit room in the first turn to kill the boss all let her solo all dark mages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather skip Maps than deal with those I know you like FE5, but this kinda makes it sound like Warp Skipping is a flimsy band aid for the gaping flesh wound that is bad game design. I'll refrain from further judgement, as I have not played FE5 myself. I have, however, watched parts of an LP and I must say, if that game ever got remade, I'd get it in a heartbeat, because some mechanics like automatic dismounting indoors, capturing enemies and stealing all their stuff (looking back, this mechanic was botched in Fates. Hard) as well as a Movement growth rate are incredibly interesting to me. Edited October 11, 2019 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of FE5's problems are basically the ''player didn't know and don't have time to react'' kind. Thankfully, it's only truely bad late game.

Remember SoV's boat maps and people's reaction to those? Yeah... I feel like people had less of a problem with SoV maps and more of a problem with Cantor spam. I didn't have a problem with either.

Yeah, i'd be up for that. 1 hour ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Although I haven't played it myself, I think the great cacafuego of Final Fantasy XV is "road-trip open world" for the first part of the game. But then for the second part, the narrative intensifies and everything becomes one great linear rush. However, one can visit an inn in the linear portion to time travel/"live in flashback" to return to the openess of the first part. As questionable as FFXV is, maybe there is a fleck of gold here? I see where the idea is going but i think the problem is that Xenoblade worlds are always gonna be open. Yeah it's still linear in the numbered titles but even then, the areas are always pretty expansive with enough worth exploring (for the most part, i don't think anyone really cares too much about the High Entia Tomb or Temperantia). I don't know how FFXV did it's second half but am i correct in assuming the areas got significantly smaller compared to it's first half? If X2 does something like that, i don't think too many people would be happy, including myself. 50 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Alot of FE5's problems are basically the ''player didn't know and don't have time to react'' kind. My problem with that is that FE5 basically wants you to use a guide to avoid the bullshit. That's one of the reason why i don't like FE5. Everyone says "oh FE5 isn't too bad if you use a guide" but if i have to use a guide throughout most of the game ti make it enjoyable, then is it really a good game? FYI, i don't think guides are a bad thing but i should at least be able to play through a game without having to rely on one for 90% of my playtime.

And for the old Xeno fanbase, it'd likely be a semi-reminder of Disc 2, we don't need to relive that. I was only trying to visualize one option that already exists, Monolith could travel many others paths for X2. And I trust them to do it well, instead of collapsing in on itself due to an imbalance of size, weight, and pressure to catastrophic consequences (aka a supernova, and FFXV). 11 minutes ago, Armagon said: No they can't.

I think FE5 would be a much better game if it didn't have the surprise stuff tbh. But i still enjoy it for it's map design and all the (unique) Mechanics it had. It just needed to be more clear & fair to the player without relying on surprises to make people reset Edited October 11, 2019 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Yeah, FE5 would have been easily my favorite FE game, if it had not some stupid things like hidden traps, overpowered ballistas, infinite lasting status affects and some really frustrating hard maps like 4x. That said it is still my second most favorite game simply because I love its mechanics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFlames Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Haven't watched the video yet (because Holy S in my P 4 hours!), but if the thumbnail and title are anything to go by... yeah. That guy/gal is actually insane... ly good at this game. I wouldn't even dream of doing that. Hell, I have sworn off on playing Maddening ever since I knew the mode would eventually come out.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 This is the fifth video, so meaning 20 h in total so far. I mean some chapters are really easy to solo with Byleth, but if I think about chapter 6 and 14 in maddening, then wow, this guy gets all my respect. Tbf I only came to this channel because he did tons of great Tales of LPs including special challenges, similar crazy to this 3H run.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I am thinking to make a LP of Thracia 776. I also did one for FE4 (with help though), so I do not see a point FE5 treating worse. I wanted to play it with a better translation anyways.

Interdimensional Observer Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Just got back into 7th Dragon 2020-II and slew the resurrected butter/dragon-fly Imperial Dragon. For the first time in all three games of 7th D I've played though, I had to skip on killing certain Dragons, because they were simply too strong. I brought Poison-blocking accessories b/c that I thought would be the only worrisome ailment in the fight. Nope, boss has partywide Sleep, and can react to Sleep with a single target followup damaging and Poisoning one of the Sleep victims. I refused to surrender and won out though, took some time. Getting that Imperial slain means I can finally spend my SP, which I hadn't because it isn't until after it can I unlock the majority of skills. Therefore, I don't have regrets not about investing in something, fearing I should have saved up for something else coming later. I know how my Trickster is going: Hide+Bush Trap, Trick Hands, and Assassin's React. My Destroyer is Counter Stance for their singular fundamental move, but the rest is undecided. And I haven't a clue how to build my Idol, whose main Dragon duty is throwing around healing items. Have to check how strong/weak its lone healing skill is at max level. And after having online guides for EOs and the other two 7th Ds as to the exact power of each skill, not having them here only creates little, unnecessary worries that I could invest SP poorly.

Yeah indeed. Nintendo pretty much gives Monolith free reign when it comes to their own stuff so i don't imagine there'll be any development interferance, something that hurt both Xenogears and the Xenosaga trilogy. 4 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Thank you for the clarification. And thanks for all this Gnosis information, it is very interesting! No problem. Indeed, the Gnosis are quite interesting. I think my favorite part about them is why they are so deadly. Gnosis are so utterly terrified of anything that breathes that they will do whatever it takes to destroy every last trace of life. Another interesting aspect is despite usually appearing in groups, a Gnosis isn't actually aware of the presence of other Gnosis. From a Gnosis' point of view, they are the only one of their kind. The reason why so many gather is because they are attracted to the energy emitted from the Zohar, whether it be the original or one of the 12 Emulators. They can show up anywhere but attraction to the Zohar is what tends to cause the larger groups to show up, though there are other causes. It may look like Gnosis work in groups but the truth is that they don't. This is taken from Perfect Guide, which is basically the Xenosaga version of Perfect Works. I haven't read it myself though, i only know bits and pieces. As far as their biology is concerned, Gnosis are beings mostly composed of sodium chloride a.k.a salt, which is pretty interesting given how destructive these creatures can be. There are other interesting facts about the Gnosis but it is spoiler territory. 4 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: This should make for a Halloween scare. Well someone is happy at least.

Acacia Sgt Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Heard of that movie. I honestly can't say I've an interest to watch it... though then again, not like there's been a choice. No idea if it will be in theaters here. Surprisingly, a quick check shows me there is a Code Geass movie in theaters here right now. So who knows. Also, looking up showed me there is a Repair Shop chain across the country here called Promare. Amusing.
