Armagon Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Just now, Capt. Fargus said: it separated by chapters like a FE game? Nah, it's more open-world. But I'd say it's like a mix of open-world and Metroidvania with intended sequence breaks. Cause you can technically make your own path but there's a clear intended path as well and it goes beyond just recommended levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final Albion battle has me popping Ashes like no tomorrow to bring my defeated squads back. Shit's fucking insane man. Like it's just reinforcement vomit at this point, something the game was as a whole very good at not doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should help Also use Valor attacks to stop reinforcements from spawning. Heavy Swing is cheap and is ideal for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Alright, Chapter 4 at last. When airship travel became involved, thought it would shake things up, but it's still just going around Liberl in a circle. Ah well. Okay, reached Rolent, will continue tomorrow.

Railnoar: "Fairies hate armor" Lore moment I liked that they even acknowledged that yes, bikini armor offers no actual protection and getting hit would be pretty bad. But if they can't hit you, then it's no big deal. But also even with that, Zenoria's army was too strong. 2 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: You should have 10 5 man Squads at this point no? I have 9 lol.

It's still a hefty amount but it'll round out your squads once 5 unit squads start becoming commonplace in Bastorias and Albion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 All right, that's all regions liberated (minus the final stretch of Cornia). But still some Main Quests left to do. And Rapports. And some other minor stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Kinda amazing how every aspect of this game's writing is pretty awesome except the actual main plot. It really is just like Xenoblade X lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their prior emphasis on multiple character stories resulted in something of a deemphasized -or not at all present in Muramasa- central narrative. A focus on branches and their leaves, not the trunk of the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odin Sphere and UO are very character-focused while 13 Sentinels leaned more towards the central plot (even if the character stories made up to that). I'll have to through GrimGrimiore to get a feel for that one. And obviously Dragon's Crown does not really have a plot. But i'd say UO's central narrative is kinda generic, at least a good kind of generic. I don't mean in a "simple is best" way like with Odin Sphere's obvious fairy tale vibe but the plot itself doesn't really do a whole lot, though the worldbuilding does stand out imo.

I'll have to through GrimGrimiore to get a feel for that one. My memory of the game is already fading, but I think I felt the character stories more than the core narrative. I mean I -mostly- understood it, I think, ...but then the story didn't wow me as I regretfully wrote. So maybe that's the reason (not like the cast was that much better for me, unfortunately). Or maybe it's because the central narrative is torn up between all the cast members not really? did some even contribute anything to it?, and it is easier to remember how they individually unfolded than how things were revealed. 9 minutes ago, Armagon said: I don't mean in a "simple is best" way like with Odin Sphere's obvious fairy tale vibe "Simplicity" for Odin Sphere? Kamitani was inspired by the Ring Cycle, that grandiose four-part work of opera that's hardly what I'd call unambitious. -The individual character stories are easy to follow yes, and not excessively detailed. Yet unless memory fails me, there's a certain gusto put into the tales. The English localization resorting to imitating a Shakespearean tone appropriately added an element of loftiness to the dialogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supports are too Alain-centric, romance whatevs, quite a few 🤨 decisions, side quest writing is no better than main plot, in some cases worse even, etc. The one good thing writing wise is that the side cast is involved in the plot, but that's it imo.
