Even if sometimes it makes no sense, like in Robotics;Notes where the routes are just normal chapters and i don't even understand why they did it that way I mean, at least it has the excuse to literally have time travel as a feature in the game. It doesn't necessarily match with what happens in the VN's route (I have no idea how the ends get unlocked or the scenes that lead to it) but Clannad was pure BS. Well, not only for that, but still, that was an incredibly frustrating mechanic, notwithstanding that you needed to complete certain routes for others to be completable, aside from the true end. It does seem very weird in Robotics;Notes with how you described it though. You mean like they're all independent side-stories? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we almost had a debatable business "leader" as president twice as well. Unfortunately yours just happened to win once and here they were separate people. 15 minutes ago, GuardianSing said: Anyways, here's my ranking that nobody asked for! I did a BR run with none of the Hoshidan royals and their retainers. Knowing you picked for how funny you found them makes it Hayato at C easier, but seeing Selkie at A has me flashing back to when I played Heroes and she kept shrieking in my ears about scratching hers. I know I disagree on several of these (See: Orochi), but at least Iago is where he belongs. Poor Hans though, completely forgotten. 4 minutes ago, GuardianSing said: He truly is the Emperor Palpatine of Fire Emblem. Oooooof 9 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Neither am I, but it's the victory approach I've chosen for my first run. The alternatives to "Transcendence" in Civ: Beyond Earth are.: Domination- Just conquer all the rival colonies on the planet. Promised Land- The new planet will be terraformed to more like Earth and the Exodus Gate will let you warp in mass numbers of Earthlings to begin a more dramatic settling of the planet. Sucks if you like the idea of an alien planet staying "alien" though. Humanity might get a little superhuman gene modification, but keep the body pure, no alien DNA, no cybernetics. Emancipation- Neurally upload humanity, we'll all be androids. Oh, and you'll need to warp some of your army back to Earth, to "persuade" those back home who stubbornly think that organic flesh isn't obsolete. Contact- Evidence on the new planet suggests extraterrestrial life far superior to humanity once was here. Acquire the means to make contact with these mysterious beings worth our reverence. So each and every one of them is some kind of ominous. I've also done a little "fanficting" of my own set of three additional victories. In too much detail for someone who has no will nor skill to mod any of it into reality. All of them sound like prequels to alien invasion. 16 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Nah, only the first, really. ...Wait, what am I saying-- Stop with the slander already!

Sooks Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 One problem this game does have is that it does not give you enough money. Side quests no longer give any, sepith exchange rates are completely garbage and you need a ton of it just to unlock slots and get quartz for characters. The only reliable way to get money is with the sepith fragments you get, which the game only ever gives you enough of to upgrade maybe one character’s weapon per chapter + buy standard items.

Well it wasn't just how amusing they were to me. A lot of them are up there for how much they made me smile or how fun it was to see them in action, while characters that I found annoying or just plain boring are lower. And D is just dead tier, everyone there is dead, both in the game, and to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better than 4, but still utter trash, and ruins Crossbell conclusion. Maybe, but it has HD Rixia and that makes it good. 7 hours ago, Sooks said: Yes, Cosmo is on Cold Steel 4 (it goes Sky -> Crossbell -> Cold Steel). True, but just because you're supposed to play Crossbell first doesn't mean Cosmo did. I didn't know if Cosmo used the fan translation. 6 hours ago, lightcosmo said: Hey hey, ive been on the Trails train since May. Give me some credit!

GuardianSing Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Allllllright. Chapter ten Conquest, the only chapter I remember simply because of how much suffering it brought me back when I first played it. It's a lot brighter than I remember, though perhaps that my brain making my memories of the chapter all the more painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason i see is because other VNs made by them do something similiar, but... Steins;Gate 0 has the whole time travel shtick going on, and the chapters don't just follow on each other but different worldlines instead Chaos;Child has the whole delusion shtick So they probably just copied a mechanic that worked elsewhere without thinking about context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
