Acacia Sgt Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) I can't wait for when we celebrate FE's 55th or 60th or even 70th anniversary for the younger folks, where our grandkids continue the tradition of raising discussion wars and Edelgard keeps being brought up.

Interdimensional Observer Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 @Armagon Have I been posting too much of Iris 2 for you? Now that I'm like 9 hours in, I intend to trim back my postings of it anyhow. As so far, AI2 is projected to end up as "perfectly playable" and suggestible if one wanted to delve back into the depths of Atelier history. Thus, I don't want to overexpose the game if you ever consider going back to it. I'm not predicting based on current data that Iris 2 will be an outstanding JRPG or Atelier (more the former than the latter for sure), yet there isn't any drudgery, and it's even being a bit fun for me. Perhaps my standards for what's good are lowered jumping in on the same evening I finished the aged Iris 1. I'm bewildered how a sequel released one day short of a year after could've shown so much improvement over the prior game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balance be damned. 2 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: So a solution is to not over level them... I think. that what i thought too, but dont have time to do at the moment. my final lineup all capped at lvl 20/40 with no one ever use second seal. i'll check later whether that theory is true by inserting one or two weak unit to train them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember I spoiled myself on Xenoblade X and Tellius and I still ended up enjoying those games a lot. By the time I do play the Iris games, enough time would have passed. Besides like Atelier Ryza 3 comes out in March. 15 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: I'm bewildered how a sequel released one day short of a year after could've shown so much improvement over the prior game. Gust has a pretty good track record of that. The way it goes is that on a general rule of thumb, each subseries improves as it goes. This is the most apparent in Mysterious imo, there is a consistent increase in quality as it goes from Sophie -> Firis -> Lydie & Suelle -> Sophie 2. Like I actually dislike Sophie 1 so seeing Mysterious improve as it goes was neat. Same with Secret though Ryza 1 is still a good game. This isn't an end all, be all. Like in Arland, I consider Lulua (Arland 4) at the top (and still the best Atelier tbh), with Rorona (Arland 1) below it and then Totori and Meruru (Arland 2 and 3) are lower spots (Totori is like my least favorite game in the series period). And then in Dusk, Escha & Logy (Dusk 2) I put above Shallie (Dusk 3) but moreso because I enjoyed E&L's characters too much lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she had one, I expect it will be the Hegemon Husk, as that fits with the weird way the dex describes how painful Mega Evolutions always seem to be on the poor Pokemon undergoing it. Although this both is the gen before Megas, and Serperior was not one of the pokemon to get one... 4 hours ago, Lightchao42 said: On 2/2/2023 at 10:21 AM, Saint Rubenio said: I made a mistake. I got into an argument with an Engage hater. On Reddit, to boot! See, your first mistake was that you were on Reddit in the first place. Words of wisdom I live by as well. Screw Reddit. 1 hour ago, Edelguardiansing said: Guatemala is fun but jeez I'm exhausted with all we've doing. One of the down sides of being neurodivergent with a neurotypical family is that they often pull you along for rides you don't always have the energy for. It's still fun of course but I do wish I had more days where I could just relax and do nothing. Hopefully I'll get more of that soon. Glad you are having fun over there, and I get it, sometimes a vacation is more exhausting than your normal life, to point of feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see you've experienced some Dwarf Noble kino. For me it is the best origin because it makes the return to Orzammar weigh much more. 4 hours ago, ping said: I hope I'm right about Human Noble and that there's going to be some extra spice when confronting Howe. 4 hours ago, ping said: Playing as a City Elf seems like the most appropriate origin if you want to play as an asshole. You have ample reason to act not just distrustful, but directly hostile towards anything that doesn't have pointy ears. That said, I'm generally not very fond of sexual violence as a narrative tool, so that's why it's still so low on the list. City elf is the second best origin because it has the biggest stakes and really helps the worldbuilding 4 hours ago, ping said: "We must save the helpless women!!!" that I assume the male Elf's story would've been, the helpless woman (well, one of the helpless women) picks up a sword and continues to cut a bloody swath of vengeance. Yep, and it opens a bunch of others choices, including evil ones like selling them to Vaughan, which no doubt Ruben would do 4 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: I like how her evolution gives her arms.

Lightcosmo Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 7 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: and think about when to use what and not just spam the best option. It's the game where i think about what weapon to use the most. Especially with Dual strikes and the tradequip shenanigans one can do with it Well with infinite weapon uses it agree that they need drawbacks in place. Otherwise weapons uses could always be a negative. The only way OP weapons work is if a char has stats like RD Mist. Xd Florete is an amazing weapon balanced out by a terrible character.

It lacks the "fine polish" of the handheld versions, such as the wicked angled jumps you could do for awesome skips, getting the shell sword before Cat Fishs' Maw. The Red Tunic's attack launches enemies as if you have to Power ups attack, fun stuff like that!

Lightcosmo Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) In the OG version, the Boomerang could kill the final boss, whereas in DX you need the Bow and Arrow to kill it off. Too bad the EN version removed the Mermaid losing her Bra and changing it to her Necklace instead, lame!

GuardianSing Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) ...in order to seek truth, don't you need to seek...ideals? I guess it's this games way of saying "Oh, both sides are needed to thrive" but it's use of "Ideals" here feels so confusing I don't even know what it's talking about. It's not like a "You need the two halves of a greater whole" more like a "You need to beat this level before this level" kind of thing. Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially a gamer.

It's not like a "You need the two halves of a greater whole" more like a "You need to beat this level before this level" kind of thing. I think it's in the sense of "thinking of striving for something that is not real, but may be disproven by the truth of the world". That or "thinking on something not real but that could become it, defying the current truth of the world". At least, depending on which version you're playing.

Armagon Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I am restarting Ch.25 because if you take just a little bit too long, you will get swarmed by reinforcements spam.

Spara Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Hey guys, 1AM Spara here with a mental breakdown. So, with Engage's OST, there are multiple versions of the main map themes, each with a bit more complexity than the previous. However, one thing I did not realize is that the game actually shifts music tracks midmaps sometimes - when you break down the door in Ch10 the music "upgrades" and adds the choir and some bass simultaneously to the soundtrack while it remains the same piece. I did not notice it the first time, but holy shit this is cool. It's kinda subtle but really cool in practice once you notice it. FE has done midmap soundtrack changes in the past, but nothing like this, and rarely are they permanent like this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Chapter 21 stuff, naturally. Spoiler And Marni got Elise'd. Alear being so upset about that. If only there had been a way to stop it, like, being able to rewind things and act on what you saw... nope, can't say I know about something like that... and probably Alear doesn't know about a way either... ... Seriously, why are they so adamant about making the rewind feature be a thing that exists in-universe when it leads to situations like this.
