MisterIceTeaPeach Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Future Connects shows how Noppons can be integrated greatly to humans. I'm really glad they added more than one of them as playable cast. The interactions with Kino and Nene are plain adorable. I love this postgame already more than Torna's.

Lightcosmo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) When you say Nopon, I assume you notReyn and notSharla? I think I'll give it a other chance, but I don't think my stance will change, the gameplay is so lacking. And removing XC1's best mechanic, the visions, made it kinda bare. Torna's gameplay was so much more in depth. Edited July 3, 2020 by lightcosmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Quote When you say Nopon, I assume you notReyn and notSharla? yes The lack on chain attacks is a bummer though. I'd say in this way Future Connect has more interesting character cast whilst Torna has better gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caster Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Last promise is definitely an experience it's very oddly balanced tbh i'm kind of having dumb fun with it when the enemy density isn't incredibly annoying (so like half of the time) Also some very interesting design decisions Like one map having a bolting mage like... 5 tiles away from the start, very threatening, when I can just kill him turn 1. Or this thief not going for treasure that was right next to him, and him choosing to opt getting treasure that is the furthest away from him. Or this thief being placed at like, the beginning of the map, behind your units, and taking like 10 turns to get to the chest anyways, where you would be able to easily kill him because he is coming behind you Or the route split where you pick between a level 1 myrmidon and a promoted hero or the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually feel like it's the other way around, and the main XC2 cast is a bit lacking. I meant the Torna organization. Not the Torna cast. Jin and Malos are great, Mikhail is alright, Ahkos and Patroka are bad. 12 hours ago, Falcom Knight said: I like this battle theme way more than the one in the main game. It's very relaxing. Best regular battle theme in the series imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Awesome as this scene was, and as awesome as the music that played during this scene was, I have questions: Why does the game not let me pick which one I want to play as? Why does it not let me switch between these two in battle at least? If the enemy generals are as strong as best boi Karna, why are we not bringing best boi Karna along to fight them? Why the f*** does this game have a f***ing harem route? Edited July 3, 2020 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that if chapter 4 was as bad as chapters 2 and 3 were, I'd have probably stopped. I enjoyed chapter 4 quite a lot and chapter 5 has been mostly good aside from a few annoying things. If you still have the save file, I would suggest trying to push through chapters 2 and 3, though. As a side note, why did they think that having enemies destroy your castle was a good idea? I like the concept of enemies capturing things back from you, but the only problem it causes is slowing you down because you can't warp anymore! I hope that if/when FE4 is remade, they improve that mechanic in some way or other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood pours forth from a score or more wounds as he slumps against a wall. Wraith examines his weapon, replete with a viscous, pulsing, black bile on the blunted broken half of it. He lets the bottle fall from his benumded fingers and it shatters on impact. Reaching into his tattered cloak, he pulls out a fresh bottle of whiskey.* 19 minutes ago, Benice said: What did TMS do to break your mind so? *Spits blood on the floor* It existed. *Takes a another swing of whiskey* Edited July 3, 2020 by Wraith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of these needless repititive mini stories, we should've been able to play as any of our allies in their respective routes I know, right? They could have scrapped the side stories completely (because quite honestly, they don't add anything that couldn't have been included in the main stories) if they had just allowed us to pick different characters. Now, don't get me wrong, I liked playing as the "forced" ones a lot (even though I had to get used to Tamamo's and Karna's playstyles first), but... why could I not play as, say, Cu Chulainn during Nero's route or Jeanne during Altera's? As is, I have to question the purpose of the other Servants not named Gilgamesh, Elizabeth (whatever happened to her, anyway?), and Emiya. Because those three short stages you get in their side stories don't exactly give you a feel for how each of them play. 21 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Because writers are cowards (or brave, depends on who you ask xD) I'd agree with the cowards answer, honestly. I said this to Caster earlier, but what they should have done is let the player pick between Nero and Tamamo: "Who do you like more? the gender-bent Roman emperor or the fox girl?" Depending on who you pick, that's the person that becomes the main character for the final route, no ifs ands or butts about it. As is, they completely shafted Tamamo for Nero, but the harem implication is still there. I can't stand that in games or anime. Just commit, damn it. It's not hard!This is CS bonding all over again, isn't it? Edited July 3, 2020 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
