If a boss fight is well designed, the size of the boss is largely secondary to me. Both are great in their own ways! Smaller bosses feel more personal, whereas larger ones feel more... grand, for lack of a better term. 4 minutes ago, Sooks1016 said: It shall not be named! I t s h a l l n o t b e n a m e d !

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.......... Trails in the Sky FC. Yes, I will readily admit that SC has overall more standout tracks, but I prefer the first game's soundtrack personally. The Rolent town theme, the regular battle theme, Olivier's song and theme, the Zeiss town theme and one of the best battle themes ever all make me love its soundtrack so much. Yes, some songs do return in the next game, but FC was where they originated from. It's really special in my mind. Runners-up would be: Awakening, Three Houses, and Wind Waker. ----------- Same question to you. What are some of your biggest gripes in stories?

XD Not quite... 1 hour ago, DragonFlames said: What are some of your biggest gripes in stories?Sorry if you've been asked this before. I have not! I want to start off with the womanizer archetype. Just the womanizer archetype. Boring/dull endings are something I usually hate, either stupid and actually boring (I watched a TV show one time where the ending was everyone finding each other in some sort of purgatory that was never explained nor set up) or they all lived happily ever after* *These endings can work just fine as long as there is some sort of depth to them, and it’s not just the heroes beat the bad guy then everyone goes back home and everything is the same as it always was, if that makes any sense at all. I also USUALLY don’t like it how a lot of story protagonists are boring and have very little personality so the audience member can project themself onto them (mostly in books or games with silent protags though I’ve seen it in TV as well) because I think a better story would be told if we just had a lead with personality. I aLsO don’t like it when stories force in poorly done romance- if it’s good I don’t really mind it, but when the story doesn’t really need romance AND it’s bad, I draw the line.

DragonFlames Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 3 hours ago, twilitfalchion said: What are some of your biggest gripes in stories? In general, I really dislike anything that takes me out of a story. One big one is when a fictional universe absolutely refuses to follow its own rules (for example, if an established power suddenly works differently just to move the plot along). Something else I really dislike is when certain story elements are used so excessively within a single story (or series) that it almost borders on parody (such as villain gets caught, but escapes... somehow, or protagonist gets saved in the nick of time via Deus Ex Machina - used sparingly, these can work well, but when they're used all the damn time, they devalue the characters involved and that works only to the detriment of a story for me). I also dislike it when the villains' motives are very ill-defined. When they have some kind of "Master Plan" (TM) that is so vague that I can't bring myself to care about it. Bonus points if it has a really pretentious name. Bonus: When an antagonist is defeated, but goes "But actually, I won, lol!" And of course, when a story is mysterious for the sake of being mysterious, where some kind of secret is introduced/hinted at in the beginning that ends up amounting to nothing, or gets built up so much that the pay-off isn't worth the hype. Granted, this is one of those "in hindsight" ones, but whenever something comes across as deliberately vague and "mysterious", I tend to raise an eyebrow these days. And lastly, when a story is just dark, and has no other tone to go with it. Now, don't get me wrong, I do love me some dark and sad stories, but when that is the only note a story can play, it just becomes dull. And when a story becomes dull, I stop caring about it. That one FE8 hack I played not too long ago suffered hard from this. And finally, for specific tropes, we have the womanizer, as Sooks said. --- Where does the "1016" in your username come from?If you've been asked this before, I'm sorry.

I plan to try Trails in the Sky to appease everyone else and MAYBE Xenoblade in the semi-distance future, but that's about it. Maybe I'll branch out, ('cause I do wanna try new things, Neptunia and Nights of Azure look really fun, Octopath looks sort of neat, etc.) but I don't want to let games control my life, y'know? I already have a bit of a tendency to let that happen. Who is the blue witch in the middle of your sig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 1 minute ago, Benice said: Who is the blue witch in the middle of your sig? That is Arnice using the Phantom Form transformation. Depending on which combinations of Servans you have with you in Nights of Azure, Arnice can transform into a different form in battle. The Phantom Form is a support transformation that can restore HP and SP to the entire party even faster than Healer-type Servans can. Very useful! 3 minutes ago, Benice said: I plan to try Trails in the Sky to appease everyone else If that's your reason, then it might be better if you don't, actually.

I'd love to say I like writing novels, buuuuut... my attempts at writing them have been... not great. XD I do enjoy several forms of literature. Recently, I've taken to writing short stories of the romantic or funny kind as a way to keep my creativity intact. As for poetry, I write mostly nonsense poetry, because I enjoyed reading the works of Heinz Erhardt as a child, who was a master of this, and thus I've gotten inspired to do the same (hence the Ferdinand von Aegir poem I posted before). But yeah, if I ever do get back to starting a novel, I'd like for it to be in the fantasy genre, because I do think it offers the most creative freedom. 11 minutes ago, Benice said: Eh, what's the worst that can happen?
