When you try to impress your fiance's family 29 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: I just found another review for Exit Fate online (here it is, if anyone wishes to give it a read), and it includes this pearl of a line. "Thinking, by the way, is actually necessary in this jRPG, unlike most of its brethren where almost every battle can be won by tapping a singleĀ button." Well, shit. It's not even this one alone. Here's another review, in video form this time, that I watched yesterday. It also makes a point to describe it as a game that makes an effort not to fall for the same pitfalls as the rest of the genre. They all feel like they're speaking to me and my problems with JRPGs. And stating that this game does not suffer from them, at that. It has a number of interesting mechanics that I'd love to see in action. Biggest criticisms seem to be that the start of the game is slow and that the game doesn't have original music, but rather pulls tracks from other JRPGs, FE hack style. Neither of them sound all that big to me. t honestly looks like it may be the one. The one I enjoy that doesn't need to be an oddball. Or maybe it'll be a disappointment, but I really want to find out. Only problem I can see from outside is that the protagonist's face gives me slight uncanny valley feels, but that's not a flaw, that's a nitpick that I'd spend the entire game bullying him for. Either way, I don't learn, do I. Once again, I am feeling that I may have to give a JRPG a shot - after all, it is freeware. I lose nothing here but time. Apologies for not being clear earlier, I just hadn't touched it in ages so I didn't want to be making statements that I couldn't back up. I wanted to mention about the sizable playable chars, rows mattering and that I didn't know if it did the SRPG maps Suikoden II did. And yes, it does have a ton of tracks from other games. The menu theme is straight up the menu theme from Chrono Trigger for example.

Interdimensional Observer Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) I figured it out.š Green, eco-friendly, wisdom-seeking, witchyĀ queendom. Red imperialistic kingdomĀ that underwent a recent revolution. Though his people are exhausted,Ā the new rulerĀ seeksĀ to restore the kingdom's world domination. BlueĀ kingdom with a love for honor, a Lion King, and an exiled princess from the red kingdom. Hmm... no idea which to choose. I haven't the faintest what difference it makes. Vanillaware is inconsistent on how much they value story. Since this game had an online component, I'mĀ left wondering if the three countries divide was more intended as a player vs. player thing, like how BLADE Divisions in XCX was mostly a flavor choice offline,Ā with a slight greater online importance. Any ideas which I should pick?Ā I'll keep it like the Holy Roman Emperor, nothing you noblemen proclaimĀ is law to me, but everything you say I'll consider as advice. I don't feel like playing Grand Knights History right now. Getting the patching done and checking to see that it has workedĀ took long enough. I need a break and I'll doĀ something else today. Probably some reading and a light return to SMTV. Edited April 25, 2022 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, apparently they're all tracks from "the golden age" of JRPGs. Which means 90% of them are going to be new to me, and the remaining 10% I'm going to recognize from Sun God's Wrath.

The obvious choice is to side with the blatantly evil empire for the lolz and to see how many war crimes the game lets you commit while trying to justify your heinous actions with some backwards-ass logic that takes agency from you and throws it onto the evil bad guy. But that's what I would do. Green strikes me as more your style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruben gets it. 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: In the Sequel era, people prop up the originals and the prequels as the right way to do it.

Saint Rubenio Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) I am EXTREMELY disappointed by the lack of flair added to "somehow Palpatine returned." Poe just said and they moved on, no jokes, no anything. C'mon, Skywalker Saga, that's just sad. You got so much milleage out of Last Jedi. Heck, you had me wishing Holdo, of all people, had more screentime because I loved the gag you gave her!
