Well, unless I had a console that could play it, sadly I can't. Being on Steam means little when, like the other SRW games on Steam, it will be region locked and thus not buyable for me.

Benice Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 ...Why is the Ornstein and Smough fight so infamous? Unless you deliberately don't go for Ornstein, it's really not hard at all... I still adore it a lot, though: Tremendous fun, and easily my favorite track in the game. What an absolute slapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Yes! I can finally bench everyone (well, except for Estelle, but, to put this in fe terms, she’s basically the lord, and because of that I wouldn’t want to bench her anyway). I can finally pull off the dream team: Estelle, Olivier, Kloe and Tita! Kind of ironic that my dream team consists of all three characters I have right now who aren’t actual bracers.

I actually used it whenever I could over the Power Beam once I got it. Purple electricity > a lemon-shooting Mega Buster. The Power Beam is the weakest of the four Beam, but has highest rate of fire and the best Charge Combo to compensate. Deals no special effects to enemies. For the Wave Beam, each shot is actually three little shots, which make it stronger than a Power Beam shot. It is slow to fire however. On the positives again, a charged shot can stun enemies for a second as they reel from the voltage. I never seriously relied on rapid fire, it seems pathetic compared to charged shots, so any sluggishness from the Wave Beam I didn't mind. Ultimately, you'll have to use all of them at some point of course, although there is room for personal bias. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: SEGATAAAAAAAAAAAA SANSHIROOOOOOOOOOOOOO This is weird.

Benice Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Yeah! Got the Souls of Ornstein! Super Ornstein was actually pretty dang tricky. ...My point about the fight not being too bad if you don't deliberately get S!Ornstein still stands, but they sure give you one heck of a fight if you do.

Yeah, like how in X (and T) it was only Masaki and the cats. I wouldn't be surprised if 30 also goes for that again, and just Ryusei in SRX, with Rai and Aya not showing up. Despite, you know, SRX being a three-person team. But then, it's too early to tell. It's certainly weird, yeah. More so when V included both. Perhaps as more info comes out, we might find out. Then again, the Huckebein line did went through that weird censoring phase. So perhaps having a 30th Anniversary version is like an apology. We definitely have to keep that in mind. It's unfortunate that such a milestone is happening during the pandemic. Certainly. In its 30 years, SRW has only missed two years without a new game. 2020... and 1992. At least SRW DD kept going, so 2020 still had SRW stuff going on. But yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooks Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Oh yeah! Also, the name for this chapter is (massive SC spoilers (probably (if I’m right about my prediction, which has so far been like 90% of them)) BENICE, THAT MEANS DO NOT OPEN THIS Spoiler Whereabouts of Bonds, which immediately makes me think of whereabouts of light and whereabouts of the stars, both of which (especially the former) immediately make me think of Joshua. Plus (Benice, if you’re reading this, really look away) Spoiler This chapter opened with another playable Joshua segment, so… Joshua confirmed? He was super cool, though, he just casually hitched a ride with an Ouroboros ship by jumping from one airship to another with some sort of grapple device. Although what his plans are is an interesting question. It would be out of character for him to try to take on all of Ouroboros alone, I feel like.

The renmants of humanity crashland on an alien planet, a planet that they are not part of the natural order of. Xenoblade X handles the raw nature of Planet Mira very well. I see! That's really awesome. This is one of the things Ys 8 does really well, too. You get shipwrecked on a forgotten island no sailor even dares going near, and it shows. From the beginning, the game basically tells you "you do NOT belong here". Especially when the first dinosaurs start showing up. 9 hours ago, Maof06 said: one of the only three works that left me sobbing uncontrollably like a little child Ayy, same number as me! xD 5 hours ago, Shrimperor said: Ys 9 is hitting us with the Trails level plot twists The good kind or the bad kind? 5 hours ago, Armagon said: @lightcosmo @DragonFlames how do you two feel about the fact that Yuri and Flynn are gonna throw hands with the one, the only, Segata Sanshiro?

Not only that the controls were annoying since I had to move against the direction of the swallowed sand the entire time, it also ended up in a bullet hell by all the thrown projectiles at me. It was a very chaotic, so unfun boss. However after like ten attempts I could beat it with me having about 10 HP left. I felt satisfied! I only watched Ys Origin, but that boss looked like complete bullcrap to me. Congrats on making it through that! ^^ 4 hours ago, Shrimperor said: Everything points to us getting a game there, and the downfall of the Empire eventually. How Adol will be involved in that however is another question. This might be a hot take, but I personally think Ys is at its most interesting to me when you're exploring unknown regions and deal with the mythologies and history of those regions (hence why the parts of Ys 8 that focus on Dana are the most interesting to me). And I feel like the series should keep focusing on that, rather than trying to be Trails 2.0. I mean, yeah, it's part of the world, but I'd like it if they managed to strike a balance between both, at the very least, like Ys VI or Oath in Felghana did.

See Final Fantasy XII, and plenty of other games (like the aforementioned Oath and Ys VI). It's more that my fear is that such a game will put too much focus on the politics and less on the stuff I actually like about the series. 5 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: and it would be a shame for the series to ignore a plot point it has been building up for a long while now. That is also true. I just think they should spice things up a little instead of having it just be yeah, you're fighting an empire now. No myths, no history, no nothing, just mountains upon mountains of exposition on which corrupt politician and general does what, which would be in stark contrast to what the series has been up to this point, you know? It'd be like if FE suddenly went away from the focus on countries warring with each other and was like "you know what? You're an explorer now! Hooray!" Ys VI did really well in balancing this in its story, and if anything, I would like a game where you're in the Romun Empire (I really have to resist writing Roman Empire XD) to be more like Ys VI instead of another Cold Steel 2 or 3. Also, I don't really trust Falcom to be able to make a story like that engaging to me. Though I will say... with how much the politics in Trails varied between boring me to tears and pissing me off to no end, those games have by far the most realistic portrayal of politics I have seen in a game so far.Though I don't play games to get bored by or pissed off at politics, so me saying that is not to be seen as praise. 8 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Especially since Adol is wanted by the Empire, Yup.

Like... reveal that someone from Origin actually founded Romn, or fought the founder and lost, or something. Or involve the Darklings again somehow, and give more history on them, since Origin was kinda lacking in that, particularly after VI really left me wondering who exactly they were, and Ernst was a descendant of theirs (I think? I don't remember exactly, haha). Point is, there is a LOT of neat stuff they can do with it. And I sure as heck hope they will take the opportunity to do that! 8 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: I think like 7 would be better personally Maybe, but that one I have not seen yet, and I wanted to bring up a game I have seen, so as to make my argument slightly more credible! xD Edited July 12, 2021 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Another thing I kinda hope they will do when they have a game in Romn eventually is that they bring back Euron. Possibly even as a playable character. That would be awesome, I think! I'll definitely get to the rest of the series at some point in the very near future (once I finish Ys 8)! Possibly even actually playing them, if I can, as opposed to just watching playthroughs!

Saint Rubenio Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Well, I think this is as far as I go in CrossCode. This boss is way too much, and I refuse to go back and do more bland fetch quests to earn the money I'd need to purchase more gear. Plus, I've read that the story only starts going somewhere at some point after getting all the elements, and up to that point it's just trite MMORPG nonsense. I value my time at least a little bit, I'm not going to spend 20 hours on a game I don't enjoy because perhaps it gets interesting at the 21th hour. Soooooo fuck it, I think I'll play Berwick Saga again. Maybe. Unless something else comes up. Edited July 12, 2021 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I legit want an Ys Musou with a roster consisting of all major characters throughout the series. Including Origin. I wanna see a meeting between Yunica and Adol.
