Everyone's hair is terrible, the armors and outfits look bloated and over-designed, and it feels like the entire cast shares one of three color schemes. Oh, and half the female cast look too much like hentai characters, which is probably the biggest problem for me. Awakening shares all of these issues, by the way. Just my own personal opinion, but... It's pretty bad that these are the only games in the series where there isn't even a single character that makes me go "oh yeah, I want to use this person!" Everyone looks terrible to a lesser or greater degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I can guarantee prologue will be the past of the game because of its character cast.

Sooks Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Wow Cynthia’s bases are incredible for a level 10 unpromoted... 17 strength and 23 speed?? That’s 2 less speed than her mother has, who was also in the peg line, and is now level 3 promoted. I mean since I’m already using Chrom, Lucina, and Sumia I might as well complete the family and add her to the team... those bases.... 2 minutes ago, Strullemia said: You guys know any fun Switch offline Coop games?

It doesn't take too long, though, and after that you can do the entire game coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think Echoes actually has the best art style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Wtf....... so when you’re using a unit that can heal and have them go to another unit and tap A they default to healing instead of pairing up.... that might have just gotten Libra killed.

Armagon Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Might have to put my Xenoblade X playthrough on hold because it looks like the charger is dead. At least I hope it's the charger. I haven't been using the dock for the past few days and I guess that put strain on the cable. I really do hope it's the cable that's not working and not the Gamepad itself. 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: Oh, and half the female cast look too much like hentai characters, which is probably the biggest problem for me.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Ha...ha... my head says no to me playing Cold Steel IV, exactly when the exciting part has begun. This game seems to be cursed. Probably it's all my fault since I maybe got too (over)excited with this game. Now I'm laying sick in my bed, again in late afternoon. Whatever, day is over...

"Looks like a hentai character" just feels like a buzzword imo. Okay, fair enough, maybe "looks like a hentai character" is a bit of a stretch. But too many of the female characters feel weirdly sexualized. Be it boobs, legs or else, even the most heavily armored women in the cast are showing some skin for no good reason. Personally, I don't think there's a place for dumb fanservice in this series, but perhaps that's just me. Now, I'm not saying that the old games were entirely innocent in this aspect, but it was less common and they were a lot less overt about it. Even the old dancers had skirts or pants of some sort.

I'd rather not start a fight over this, but... Look, I respect the man's talent, but the characters he drew look, in my humble opinion, absolutely horrible. I don't know if he came up with the designs himself or if he followed directives from higher up, but regardless, the end result are some of the most unbearable characters in the series to look at (for me). Again, this is all my opinion. I'm not asking anyone to agree with me, nor am I pretending that my opinion is the absolute truth. And I'm aware that it gets tiresome to see good ol' Kaga elitists crap on modern FE. But... Well, this is just the way I feel. I'm sorry, I can't force myself to like these designs! They're terrible to me! Personally, I prefer simpler designs when it comes to attires. Somehow, even the most outlandish designs in the old games feel tame compared to your average modern design. Which isn't a bad thing, necessarily - it's just not something I enjoy, myself. 8 minutes ago, Strullemia said: I have Luigi's Mansion 3 and I think I did unlocked Gooigi, I'm not sure.

Fair enough what kind of character design that is going to appeal to you is highly subjective after all. 3. I just don’t think people give Kozaki enough credit. Also his outfit designs are relatively simple at least when you really look at them but I digress. One thing I just love about Kozaki’s design philosophy are his character portraits. Tharja’s portrait alone demonstrates what I mean when say his character portraits are extremely expressive. The way she looks so scrunched up with her arms crossed over her chest and the way her bangs hang over eyes almost covering them. Everything about that portrait conveys so much about Tharja’s character through visuals alone. I just can’t help but be impressed by that. It’s just all the little details that add up, Y’know.

Interdimensional Observer Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 *Sigh* I'm feeling a little regretful now of yesterday's SoS purchase when a brand new one presumably 100% modern gets announced the very next day.😑 But it's not that bad, since FoMT is a good way for me personally to try reconnecting to the franchise, given my past history with it. Everyone else is probably better off waiting for the next one. I'm running out of classic and new RPGs that I'm interested in, so either I venture into other genres of games, or I do something else with my life, and I know which is easier. Though I haven't started FoMT yet, I'm reaaaaally finicky with my gaming mood sometimes, and I'm not in it for this one yet, maybe later today, maybe tomorrow. I've cleared Sunday and Monday again in DS2 (it's fast when I inherited 4 endgame demons), and I want to see if I can blitz down Tuesday on the same battery charge. Daichi is already at Fate level 3, geez the best friend bonds fast, I think I'll save beforehand and reset to view his events without wasting time when I no longer need to raise his Fate anymore. 3 hours ago, Armagon said: It really do be like that. In my defense, having to get all the keys inside the cave just kinda made me want to get it over with. It was also like 1 in the morning. *Definian Downfall at 1 in the morning*😵 And, you can always refight the Rexoskell for pride and some materials whenever you want, not sure if clearing the story is necessary first to do that from the online barracks terminal. 2 hours ago, twilitfalchion said: But most of all, I really wish the female protagonist were actually marriageable ngl. That wouldn't be a challenge, they've already done that before with Tides of Destiny. Though Aden and Sonia aren't amnesiacs with customizable names like the other protagonists, which would absolutely work, since it isn't like you get much of a say in the amnesiacs' personalities. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: Might have to put my Xenoblade X playthrough on hold because it looks like the charger is dead.

Even the old dancers had skirts or pants of some sort. Olivia is straight up walking around in a thong. Ehhhh i will say that pretty much all the dancers were wearing basically nothing. Lalum and Ninian are the exceptions, Lalum looks like she's into fitness and Ninian is the most SFW dancer in the series haha. Of course, all the older dancers were also in sprite work but if FE4, 5 and 8 got remade with modern graphics, you'd see what i mean (actually, i think Tethys also wore pants). 21 minutes ago, Ottservia said: I just don’t think people give Kozaki enough credit. I think Kozaki is decent but i do think he's better when he's drawing sci-fi-ish things rather than medieval fantasy. I'm about to shill Xenoblade 2 Kozaki was given free reign with these designs because the only rule the XC2 guest artists were given were "here's the weapon, here's the element, the rest is up to you". 6 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: *Sigh* I'm feeling a little regretful now of yesterday's SoS purchase when a brand new one presumably 100% modern gets announced the very next day.😑 But it's not that bad, since FoMT is a good way for me personally to try reconnecting to the franchise, given my past history with it.

If the Gamepad is at fault, well....I'll cross that bridge when i get there. I have no way of knowing if the Gamepad is at fault because the charging cable don't work and if that's not working then neither will the dock because the dock needs the cable in order to work.
