Codename Shrimp

Gust on fire? This one seems more traditional compared to Yumia

Never escaping "dumbest detective alive" allegations

Oh Lloyd is becoming a (bigger) meme lmaooooooooo 🍿 the price of being a nintendo protag

Conspiracy time? Best girl Such fantasy Calm down Edelgard SASAGEYO! Calm down Putin Democracy don't use nukes Putin I love democracy Murica 🤨 Democracy is hard xD Cav! yup And that was the demo... hmmm "wait for sale + free slot" which means, if ever, i might play it a few years down the line. Demo didn't really convince me. Or how can i say it...i don't think i want to play it for 100 hours. Maybe 40-50. Story/setting seems interesting, but something that can also be fucked up really fast with how many things it seems to be tackling, and well... The game feels *very prone* to bloat. For the whole democracy thing you need to help people (read: Quests) to gain popularity and stuff. And if they are gonna integrate that into the story, that means we might have main story stuff/true ending locked behind side quests. Ugh. Also Calendar and stuff. Game wears Persona influence on it's sleeve. You know the drill xD Gameplay wise, i have 1 major issue: The action gameplay sucks major ass. Yes, i know it's mainly turn based....but the action here doesn't serve any purpose except annoying you. Thing is, you mainly use action to stun the enemy, however to do that you might have to be in shitty action mode for a while and attack the enemy...however if the enemy attacks you even once, they get advantage and wreck you over (battle starts with their turn). Basically, action mode is only here to make party advantage harder. Well, and to one shot weaker enemies i guess. And even battle itself wasn't able to completely convince me - liked TMS' more 😛 Characters seem interesting, but the not!social links really scare me. Anyway, gotta finish Disco Elysium xD --------------------------------------- Kai ost seems to have less Singa than most Falcom games since CS3. Atleast from a first look. Can't confirm.

ehhhhhhh Not really. Some of the stuff was yes, and i don't wanna even talk about the quality or how it was concluded. Alot of stuff was still open after CS4/5: Biggest being the remaining Sept-terrions. Until end of CS, only 4 out of the 7 had their games. IIRC missing ones were Time, Water and Wind. Kuro no Kiseki...Chrono kiseki + the whole thing gives Time for Calvard, so by our current knowledge we still have Water and Wind open. Probably For the last arcs (unless Calvard pulls a 2 in one like CS did with Fire and Earth). Also, funny enough, Calvard finally returns to higher tier element (Space (Sky), Mirage (Crossbell) and Time (Calvard)) after CS had Earth and Fire. Curious what they will do with Water and Wind. Also related to them, Society, grandmaster and Aidios - even if the Society have been basically villain of the week after Sky and a clown troupe. The church and everything surrounding it - and to a lesser extent the Bracer guild. Everything Calvard - the current ongoing arc Estelle and Joshua becoming top tier Bracers - why the fuck are they still B-rank? Also their marriage Probably the end of the series Did we ever get a resolution to the Stone of Hope door? Still a big ? whatever that was. And probably more i forgot from being out of touch with the series for the last few years before Estelle's smile made me take a look again CS5 was a conclusion to Erebonia and Crossbell, but the story starting from Sky is far from over. Even if it should've been IKR Just hope it doesn't follow the same fate many of it's "inspired by classics" jrpgs did.

Thing is, the way they mentioned "Van episode" instead of next game is pretty sus.

I mean, it's pretty clear it's called Kai due to Kuro bombing and them trying to attract new peeps with the name and older peeps with returning characters (and specifically CS fans with Rean) If it worked we will know in a couple days when the sale numbers come out. Kuro 1 and 2 were at around 40k each iirc. could also be speedrunner didn't get true ending or something akin to CS4 True? I read the speedrunner didn't do any of the side episodes? Or could be a Xbell -> CS 5 deal, ie. Van's conclusion will happen in a later arc. Trails in the Sky FC splitting to become Kuro 4 incoming. I mean One of my main complaints of the series post sky was it veering more into fantasy ------------------------------ https://old.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/1eo5w0d/a_crack_theory_about_causality_estelle_and_the/ 🍿

Fates still does this best imo. You have to work for it and even theorycrafting itself is fun 3H has ok maps imo. Some really good ones, some awful ones, but Echoes or Awakening this ain't. Ofc after Fates 3H is a big disappointment in that regard, but compared to rest of the series it holds pretty well imo. No longer crack it seems. Inb4 Lena grandmaster real as well. Also obligatory: LLOYD YOU FUCKING IDIOT

Also performance issues on PC. Not that bad with me, "only" FPS drops, but alot of people are having problems i hear so far it's just for show, but i wonder how it's gonna be used....

🤔 You got the me that faces the screen, here! best girl spotted? >Worms Best kind of magic No canon name? Protag is Elda + he has a fairy companion - hence Feldario is what i came up with. 2024 moment I like our little fairy companion I wish Someone tell her xD But some are more equal than others, or something. It is a fantasy 🥲 Protect MC's smile! Damn we are ugly we are going with that eh Yeah, ik, we suck Cool i see. Interesting I thought i am gonna play fantasy democracy and not assassination xD "Welcome to the Velvet Room" You know, Persona, but playing it cool. Or something Didn't finish yet, still quite a bit to go, but impressions so far are okay to good-ish? Interested in world/politics/story...but gameplay is not gripping me yet. Also calendar makes the Shrimp nervous. And pretty annoying how stunning an enemy in action mode pretty much forces me to go to turn based mode. So far it's in the "Wait for sale + free slot" - but rest of the demo might change that ofc.

Time to try Metaphor

Problem with 3H, imo, is that it is one of those games where the more you think of it or look back to the worse it becomes? Like y'all remember how i was one of it's ardent defenders back then, but nowadays i just think "Was good, but not top", and 3 Copes didn't help matters either and soured me alot on Fodlan writing. It's, for me, in the reverse category of games like Xenoblade 2 or Fates, where i liked quite enough back then, but look on more fondly than most other games i know and like more the more i look back to them.

hah thanks xD Even if i like the demo, i won't be getting the game any time soon because my hands are full atm. Ys X in a few weeks don't forget, and this will knock everything else out. Prio 1 XD

Metaphor getting a demo, eh?

sounds cool af tbh finally Pirate emblem

now make UO 2 with good writing and difficulty

🤡🤡🤡

cute

>no shrimps smh

My brother is right, i should've been an idol

Nope 72 pounds a day per person is pretty hefty unless you plan to visit like 3 attractions a day. Also if you plan to visit the british museum plan atleast half a day for that!

Nope If you plan to visit costly attractions often it might be worth it (if you get the 7 day one), but London has alot of free attractions as well. Museums for example are free. The london pass doesn't include public transport, right?
