Neoleo21 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Funnily enough I realize that the business model for the most part intentionally resembles the Samson/Arran decision quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRei Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 How can this game be linear when the very first announcement direct stated that this game is all about YOUR CHOICE affecting the story's outcome? Surely this can't mean picking between 3 "routes" due to the act of choosing which "story" to play right? Same way Tales of Xillia 2 was all about your choices affecting the story and its outcome, but in the end it was literally only two choices that affected the endings (one choice that would either continue the game or lead to the Bad End, and one choice right after the final boss that would either give you the True End or the Good End) and everything else was just random dialogue.

The same way most RPGs that emphasize it end in the same or very similar way each time and that your choices amount to a couple lines of text or a characters dead. Like in Fable 1 and 2 whether you're Good or Evil you still kiill the same bad guy at the end, in Dragon Age: Origins you still defeat the dragon and it's the same ending with very minor changes based on your choices. The three routes having different diverging stories from each other would be more than most games that emphasize that sort of thing actually offer.

The three routes having different diverging stories from each other would be more than most games that emphasize that sort of thing actually offer. Ok so, barring the locked allegiance depending on which version you buy and similar endings being pretty much a given, does that really mean that there will be very little mid-game choices? How does this affect the post-game storyline (assuming that this will be as long as Awakening and have something similar to the Plegia/Valm arcs)? Is the amount of choices here an exaggeration on the part of the devs or the real deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five5 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Im hoping for something involving gameplay like a bad ending for overusing dragon vein in the campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluCommander Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Im hoping for something involving gameplay like a bad ending for overusing dragon vein in the campaign. Well if they do go this route they sure as hell better let us know that dragon's vein has "negative consequences" or something. I'll use any tactics at my disposal so it would really suck if I got a bad ending for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Reminds me of Blaze Union and the case with overusing Emilia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What like you lose control and turn into a dragon? Is that only if the main character uses it too often? Or do you mean in the way that it would mess with nature and you won but at the cost of ravaging the land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Kamui losing control to their dragon form could be a big part of the story, if the new commercial is any indication (or I'm reading too much into it). A person on tumblr mentioned that it could be the result of Aqua betraying Kamui...and shows that Aqua is very much involved with Kamui's dragon side. Maybe dragonstones aren't available until after Aqua shows up and is the one to explain the mechanics of that form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Knight Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 If you get the digital version it's a choice. That effects all future playthroughs. But you still have to pay extra for the other decision as it locks you out of the side you didn't pick until you pay for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanima Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'd really love to have more choices beyond just the big one. But let's be real, Fire Emblem never really had that many story changing stories, so I am trying not to get my hopes up. There might be some minor choices along the way that affect a bit of dialgoue, but it certainly isn't going to reach Dragon Age levels.

Eveangaline Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yeah in fire emblem choices are more "if you choose to save all of these npc groups you get an extra promotion item or an extra chapter!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravaging the land, drying up lakes and flattening mountains can't be good for the people after the war unless dragon vein can instantly repair the damage done. Not sure about Kamuis dragon form didn't think about it until I saw your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
