Lightcosmo Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) I am unsure as to how XenoblaDE's new story is going to be with two Nopon involved in the mix. The Nopon generally are there for humor, and kinda put some kinks in the story or simply don't add much. Like Riki, he hardly has any lines, and when he does, they are one sentence long or they are a joke in an important scene which makes it feel awkward. Tatsu… ah, Tatsu, I don't like him in the slightest. What does he add to the story? Tora, okay, I give them a lot of credit here, as Tora is actually a pretty well written Nopon character. He can actually take things seriously for once, which I respect a lot. I'm sure they can come up with something well thought out, but the Nopon just don't make it any more interesting in my opinion. Edit: and that's not counting NPC Nopon characters yet. Edited April 18, 2020 by lightcosmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the main story maybe but if you dig into his Heart-to-Hearts, Riki's a surprisingly good character. His shining moment in the story is the talk with Dunban he has at beach and if you want more of that, his Heart-to-Hearts will offer. I just hope they aren't locked behind dumb Affinity requirements again. Riki and Tora show Nopon can be more than just comic relief and I would hope the two new Nopon in Future Connected fall more in line with that.

Yeah, the scene at the beach is his only moment throughout the story. I would prefer a more complex character for more than a few scenes, though, which is why I think Tora is so much better overall. Tora is intelligent, which they make a point of through the story, what qualities does Riki have that make him stand out? His character is just lacking something that Tora has, I think.

The Heaven's Feel movies are more of a highlight reel than a retelling of the route. The cool action scenes are there but missing the minor moments. Kirei been large absent despite being a major player while is going to bite in the 3rd movie. I don't know who idea is it to make the longest route into just 3 movies.

I have to admit it has been the first non Persona game who has offered that kind of stuff to me (if may I put hotspring scenes like in Tales of aside).

Beneath his funny exterior, Riki actually has a lot of wisdom. Again, this is mostly locked to Heart-to-Hearts but to say that Riki is lacking is a take i disagree with. The only thing he's lacking is story relevance but the same can be said for some other characters. And character irrelevancy syndrome happens a lot in JRPGs anyway.

They dont mention that enough for it to feel like a special quality of his. Compare his character growth to some of the others. And yes, I'm considering storyline only, since Heart to Hearts are extras. Does that really justify him having no relevance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're considering only the main storyline, then you ignore all the other aspects of Riki's character. It's the exact same mentality that caused people to dislike Xenoblade X so much when it came out.

Strullemia Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Decided to buy the Spyro Trilogy since it had a Price Drop on the Eshop. It's been a fun game so far. Seeing Armagon's posts reminded me that I also have Donkey Kong on the Switch so I might also start playing DK Switch sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beach/hot spring events in Tales of are mostly optional, come to think of it. I like them when they make sense within the story and actually do something with the characters like having them deepen their bond or for character development (Persona 5's beach trip to Hawaii did this really well, for example). --- Final chapter of Mary Skelter is here and the battle theme changed again. This time, random encounters have the same music previous non-Nightmare bosses used. Meaning I get to hear this amazing theme more often (which, just fyi, has also made it into the circle of candidates for my top 10 video game themes). The music for the final dungeon is awesome, too.

There are some owned games which have that as DLC, but for free beach events are an absolute rarity. Tales of Symphonia had pre-DLC era beach scene too. Nothing too significant, and you could only get three non-Lloyd beach Titles per playthrough, and it was 2/3rds not your choice, instead being based on who was most bonded to Lloyd- aka good luck keeping Colette out of the trio! Ever since DLC became standard practice however, Tales games has stripped costumes out of their base game content and monetized every last one of them. Tales of Vesperia appears to have been the transition game- some DLC costumes and some in the base game- but Graces did away with ingame costumes entirely from what I played of it. A few pathetic "attachments" don't count. So, only Symphonia and Abyss were really in the pre-DLC era in terms of costumes. I doubt 2D Tales had them, even if it did have fanservicey scenes. Phantasia the original Tales had two short Hot Springs scenes I think. Edited April 18, 2020 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
