Oh, I thought they came out next month... I must have missed that, then! Edit: looking on their site, its next month, right? Edit again: crap, its June.

Robert Stewart Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Dang, it looks like the Cirno fight in Luna Nights is Switch-only. So do I rebuy the game or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there are some factors about anime figures that I'm unaware of, that is, but I suppose there's an unlikely chance that more preorders will open later.

Sooks Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Someone here has played Bravely Default right? How would they rate it, and/or the second game? Could they recommend it? —— All I’ve really done today was watched Tressa’s story. All of these stories have been surprisingly good (with the exception of Ophelia’s filler chapter that was moderately entertaining anyway), ranking them will be tough. Although with the bit revealed at the end of Tressa’s story, I know I’m somewhat closer to understanding the role of the super boss at the end beyond its role in the lore. I’m gonna have to Google those texts that show up when you beat a boss in the boss rush. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: Although I don't know how to feel about this being another Mando spin-off.

Armagon Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 1 minute ago, Sooks said: Isn’t the Mandalorian a spin-off itself? It's complicated. The thing with Star Wars being a sandbox is that just because something isn't a movie doesn't necessarily mean it's a spin-off. You can categorize it, sure, but the line between spin-off and not spin-off is very blurred in this franchise. It comes down to the what. So to use The Mandalorian as an example, that show is not a spin-off. But Ahsoka, Rangers of the New Republic and now The Book of Boba Fett can be considered spin-offs because of how they are shows starting characters that had a side or minor role in The Mandalorian. Keep in mind I'm exclusively talking about the watchable medium. The books and comic books are a whole different can of worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would they rate it, and/or the second game? Could they recommend it? The directors of Octopath Traveler were the producers of Bravely Default and Bravely Second. Aesthetically they're different, but they have a kind of rustic, picture book fantasy charm. Instead of Boost, the games have the Brave and Default mechanic. Brave lets you take multiple actions in a given turn at the cost of BP. A character needs to be at least 0 BP to act on a given turn, you can store upwards of 4 BP, and can go as low as -3, but can only take up to four actions per turn. You gain 1 BP per turn. Default is a guard command that halves incoming damage and lets you store your BP for a later turn. Theres no equivalent to the Break mechanic. There is a class system, with there being more total classes than in OT. Each of the four characters get to choose a main class and the set of commands (but not stats or equipment) from a second, in addition to passive slots from any classes. Narratively, Bravely Default hews closely to the old 8- and 16-bit eras of JRPGs, particularly Final Fantasy with the emphasis on crystals. Bravely Second is freer to be itself storewise. The story in both games is more linear, no picking whichever order of chapters you want to do, though there is a number of sidequests in both games, indicated with blue exclamation points. Most of them provide access to optional jobs. Having a fixed cast of four, character interactions are far more prevalent. Soundtracks are fairly good too. Random encounters can be turned on and off at will, a neat mechanic. You can turn off EXP, JP, and money gain too if you don't want to overgrind in one or another. Bravely Default is nefarious for being very repetitive halfway in, technically, much of the repetition is optional, but even so, it's odious. One shouldn't drop the game then and there though, as Bravely Second is a direct sequel to BD and will right away spoil the first game. One should grin and bear (or turn to YouTube) it and finish BD before starting BS, which learned from the great mistake and averted the hellish second half problem of the first game. Second overall is a refined and smoother experience compared to Default. Do I recommend the Bravelys? I'm not their greatest fan, and the games aren't perfect, but you could them a try. Both have demos in the eShop, though Default's demo is bad for lack of narrative and kinda just throws you into it without much guidance. Still worth completing it and using a glitch to get more villagers for repairing Norende in the main game .: Spoiler Basically, after you beat the boss in the western dungeon, a person in town will offer you one free villager the next time you speak with him. The trick is to save your game before talking to him, speak and get the free villager, quit to the title, then reload and speak to him again in order to acquire as many villagers as you wish (up to 20). Second's demo is better overall, and like the first game's, provides a handful of items when you transfer the data to the main game. A number score? I'm not good with deciding on those. Sorry!

That’s okay, explained out thoughts are way better! And you knew instantly I was comparing to Octopath. No break is interesting but if all three games (counting the one coming to switch) have demos then I can just try it. I already downloaded the demo on switch, so...

Benice Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) FINALLY! MIKLAN'S MAP IS DONE AFTER ABOUT EIGHT ATTEMPTS. And that's not hyperbole. I died so many times. That was an awful experience. And I finished on turn 68 too, so I missed the best turncount. But hey, anything for the golden throne!

I’ve also read bits of the anthology manga I see, I see! I have yet to play V3, but I'm planning on it. I would have played Ultra Despair Girls, but... the game being a third person shooter when I really do not like that kind of gameplay made me watch a playthrough of it. Story's pretty good, though! I have yet to see that manga, maybe I will. 7 hours ago, Ottservia said: (Leon did nothing wrong) Wellllll (le spoilerz) Spoiler every court ever would disagree. And so would I. If his killing of Sayaka really was in self-defense (as in, if she died during the initial attack, where she was the clear aggressor), then I would agree, kind of. But... the second he deliberately went back to her room which was actually Makoto's room and killed her while she was hiding in the bathroom, that's when he lost his chance at claiming self-defense. Because at that point, it became straight up murder. Unless the manga does something to change this, in which case, not a fan of the retcon. Spoiler But as things stand, this statement does not apply. Except ironically. If you meant it that way, then I apologize. Also, fun fact: Spoiler The reason Sayaka and Leon died first: those two were the characters they used during the testing stages of the game. The devs simply got sick of seeing them.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Well, loud wind and rain woke me up at 3 AM, but whatever. Good thing that I fell to sleep superearly yesterday. Anyways I will LP Octopath Traveler once I have finished Robobot's True Arena (still couldn't unfortunately) and Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Hopefully both can be done till the end of the year. Since I won't be busy whilst christmas days, I'd have the opportunity to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I LP'ed some Fire Emblem hacks and different runs of Radiant Dawn in my older days here, but it became way less due to lack on freetime and losing interest in Fire Emblem to try other JRPG series instead. LPing Octopath Traveler would be a good opportunity to learn the game and maybe other series with similar gameplay like Final Fantasy.
