  1. I think the characters need more uniqueness. The game was far too easy. Not enough was done to make the characters interesting, though.

    How do you know that Light is going to be an element?

    I don't mind the loose ends, since the game obviously was set up as a a dualogy, like Golden Sun 1 and 2. I just hope Golden Sun 4 comes out soon, I want to see Matthew in better graphics!

    If you talk to the residents of Belinsk in the Epilogue they mention how they now have light powers. Dark psynegy is revealed by Blados and Chalid so having Dark adepts in the party might not happen but who knows.

    They do talk about there being ancient people before the surpressing of alchemy who made the machines, but why you don't see them during GS is not mentioned. Presumably they were inaccessible by mountains before the Golden Sun event.

    Since they wanted to mirror the first two games, I'm willing to bet the second game will open with a Nowell part like how Lost Age did with Jenna. That would let them show Piers or even Mia, but as for the others, idk. Jenna and Ivan could show up in Tolbi or Kalay but honest I don't think they would should Felix and Sheba if they have to. Sheba is hardly mentioned.

    Also I don't know if you'd even fight Alex. DD sets things up for the High Empyeror and the Tuaparagn as well as another sup set after the last two arcana so you'll at least fight those three. It might be like Lost Age where you don't fight Alex but he could end up dying somehow idk

  2. Honestly yeah the party for DD did run a bit bland in terms of combat. Matthew is too good not to use with the Sol Blade, and while Sveta is good, I personally flip between using her or not just because I don't like the Djinn form thing.

    You basically never got Rief since Amiti came an hour after getting him and was just more interesting and better especially since Rief is supposed to play the Healer and is just considered redundant due to Amiti's Ply, Matthew's Cure, and the idea to give Karis a weaker Wish at level 8 before you may even meet Rief. Eoleo and Tyrell are basically copies and I don't really like Mars adepts except Jenna since her being a Mage is a lot more interesting.

    Himi's really fragile but Miko and Curse Mage are interesting. I just wish she had a bit more AoE damage spells in Curse Mage, since status effects basically become useless when you can kill normal enemies fast and they don't affect bosses.

    The first time I played through GS and LA I did mono-type classes so I'm gonna be looking forward to trying them with other classes.

    Did I mention I hate Rief and use him to permanently warm my bench?

  3. Actually if there was a 4th Golden Sun, I'd actually say none of the second adepts from DD would be in the party. Nowell and Takeru would likely be your Venus + Mercury adepts, but I want Himi back if only cause a mage Venus is cool. And I kind of want a mage Mars like Jenna, but I'm hoping for some sort of Proxian dragon that plays like Sveta did with the transformation. That would be really cool.

    And I'd actually wager for it to be a party of 12, 2 for each element and 2 Light and 2 Dark.

  4. I was feeling nostalgic and just finished a run of Dark Dawn and decided to go back and do a GS1 transfer to Lost Age so i'm working on that right now. Just kind of wanted a little discussion and to see what people were thinking. Is a fourth game ever coming?

    Let's also talk about how DD was disappointing.

  5. I WANT TO HOST A GAME BUT THAT MAFIA QUEUE IS SO LONG AND TAKES FOREVER! WHAT DO I DOOOOOOOOOO???

    I was gonna make this post like an infomercial but I got lazy I still wanna host I mean who doesn't want a psych game

    There are 10 large games in the queue and 13 small games. I'm going to say large games average about 3 weeks while small games take 2 weeks since that seems about what they take. That's close to 7 months if you submit a large game till you will actually be able to host and close to 6 months if you want to host a small game. Sure, some games don't last that long, but I think something should be done to this insanely long wait time. I always have a couple cool ideas floating around and feel like hosting a game for a month or so, but then 6 months later I really don't feel like hosting since it's been so long.

  6. Espinos this sounds stupid but could you include the Replacement Children for FE4? IDK someone might want them

    Also I think nerfing skils individually would be better. For example, what does Impale have over Luna? I don't feel like doing the math but they seem basically the same. Stuff like Corona and Flare could also be changed to help make classes better since if we agree on a change it could allow us to buff Mages or other classes to be more viable.

  7. It all boils down to preference.

    When it came to Symphonia, it bored me in both gameplay and plot.

    Eh I felt like the dual-worlds thing happens in the middle enough that it's still a good plot twist and keeps you interested in stuff, and then the switch to summoning spirits keeps things from being boring. Plus you have the constant knowledge that there's a second disk so you know there's more to the game at any point. Honestly the disk change feels like it happens at 75% rather than the half way point.

    Another part may have to do with the fact that I like the combat styles of several people in Symphonia. I'll play as either Collette or Genis but I switch to Sheena when I have her since she's by far my favorite. Her summons are cool too, and the fact the game forces some Lloyd fights helps too.

    Vesperia I really only play Rita. Raven is interesting but his style is hard for me to get into as the range/melee ends up being more of a hassle than a boon. Yuri's isn't as fun as Lloyd's even if it mimics him, and since Rita rarely leaves the party for fights I am usually always her or Yuri.

  8. Admittedly I didn't get more than a few hours into Vesperia, but I found the whole thing extraordinarily juvenile to the point where I would have been embarrassed to have anyone see me play it. Perhaps it improves later on.

    Vesperia is pretty cheesy. It mimics the whole Shonen anime style of a group of friends making a team and fighting evil with a princess and saving the world thing, but at the same time I liked it mostly because while it seemed similar to the other games, the style and look felt very fresh especially with graphics. The characters are pretty archetypical though Karol, Raven, and Judith do have some interesting sides at times.

    Honestly the second and third times I played though the plot did bore me heavily at least up to Barbos, but then after that it feels like a serious of "Go Here, Kill Boss" quests so not sure how I felt about that either. It's kind of a pick-up-once game whereas I can go back to Symphonia over and over and not get bored.

    So Vesperia won me for gameplay but Symphonia has me for plot. I would have I actually didn't really like Abyss? That may have been due to it being on 3DS and not getting the same multiplayer feeling, but I didn't really like the handheld part either or the need to learn all the skills just for basic things, though Vesperia was easier in that regard. A lot of the time it felt like I was lost since they hardly tell you anything about the Abyss plot until right as it happens, while the other two are much better and not keeping the player in the dark.

  9. Dawn of the New World should not exist and we will refrain from mentioning it lest we anger the elder gods

    Symphonia is very good, but returning to it after playing Vesperia and Abyss 3DS was a big wake up for me. You can't free run, and trying to play with friends makes the camera angle really hard. Mystic Artes don't really exist, but even with all the changes like skills and EX Gems, it being my first Tales is still pretty special.

    Vesperia is honestly my favorite for combat and things like that, but it feels like it drags on a lot especially early. Bosses are harder compared to Abyss 3DS and Symphonia but that's probably because I prefer the mage in Vesperia and bosses are really good in Vesperia when it comes to canceling spells.

  10. Typically Aideen falls behind due to not being mounted, and Fury is always about combat unless you're going for super low turn count. Diadora isn't really relevant much but her and Lachesis are typically ones who spam stuff though when I play I leave my Warp and Return on the lower movement people and have Ethlin heal between combat.

    The mages typically don't worry about healing unless you really need them. Mage Knights don't get staves, Levin/Sety would probably be too busy with Holsety unless you give it to Arthur or something, and Tinny and TIltyu can heal but by then you have a Master Knight who's mounted and lots of Libros and Fortify's for the High Priests who have worse tome ranks and skills and want to avoid combat.
