There is very much a single player mode. I just don't think many people can endure the tedium that switching Links constantly brings. Also pits are overpowered because while the stationary Links turn into stone that can't be damaged by enemy attacks, if they're pushed into a pit you still take the damage. Spoiler, but at least one boss likes to do damage by using wind to push Links into pits. 9 hours ago, Dayni said: That is a very unfortunate typo. I think I've seen a McDonalds sign with that typo a decade ago. Still, my favorite mistake in advertising was the time Krispy Kreme decided to make the Krispy Kreme Klub in the UK. To this day I can't decide if it was incompetence, or someone made an edgy joke and didn't expect it to be approved. 8 hours ago, Armagon said: Couch fucker, dolphin fucker, yeah it's over for this guy.

Was gonna ask about the event, but I remembered it's Fourth Crusade related. I had to do it in a more old-fashioned way of inviting a claimant, converting him, then help him press the claim. Certainly made things harder ensuring his dynasty, or any other converted-elected, would continue ruling until they converted the Empire. Holy Fury was a blessing, certainly the best expansion of the game. A shame we didn't get an Orthodox-centric expansion 15 hours ago, Dayni said: Now that's a lot of score.

A shame we didn't get an Orthodox-centric expansion Indeed. Though I still did it even though I had HF. Thus the Fourth Crusader event never triggered, heh. I did got the Children's Crusade to happen, though. As the first ever Crusader, even. Thanks to my sponsoring and military help (more like I did all the job since for some reason their armies spawn where the character does, despite the event-chain already have the character in the Holy Land, and it was a Prussian kid so...), it was victorious unlike the historical one.

Acacia Sgt Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 @Interdimensional Observer Oh, DD has only just reached the assault on Heinel's Castle for Voltes' storyline? Also, interesting. They're doing the "Katherine drugs Heinel unconscious" plot point that SRW A did. Unlike A, however, DD is no doubt going to use the full story. Alphaverse already explored this angle of Heinel being present for it, but it was him alone if I recall. Wonder what they will do here.

Thanks for sharing.😀 They could have Heinel still hesitant to turn against Boazan? And then have Katherine die in some way that pushes him into burying his Voltes hate and into assisting his half-brothers? -Although having Katherine live, only to kill her later, they'd have to execute it well. If the next thing that happened in the Voltes plot was her sacrifice, it'd be too soon, making her temporary survival feel too ephemeral & meaningless, I'd think. ...And "Divine Doers" is what they name the heroic group in DD?🤨 Well, I get the initials, but "Doer" is such a weird word-that-shouldn't-be-a-word to me. And "Divine", with regards to SRW, titular usage of that word is owned by a certain someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I mentioned this when you played, but SRW W does have Leo Shishioh survive his canonical death... only to still kill him later on. Though yeah, if it's too soon, then it would feel like a waste. Though who knows. She might live to the end. I have a hunch they might actually make Heinel part of the party in the future. Nevertheless, this is certainly a different context from what Alphaverse had it all go down. Alpha 1, which covers up to this point of the plot, doesn't quite happen. Or, I don't know if the castle assault still happens, but the final fight against Heinel is on the Moon, and then he's fighting more because the Balmarians have Katherine hostage. And Alpha 1 already had him as a temporary ally as a secret. Though in that context it's understandable he'd be willing to work with the heroes if he's angry at the Balmarians. But by Alpha 2 he definitely already seemed to be a changed man, so something definitely went down to make him change. Oh, yeah, the name does sound a bit... goofy, heh. I admittedly don't know the context behind that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's different. The appearances I've seen of him doesn't have Heinel show any real affections for his subordinate (I don't think he expressed feelings specifically of romantic loss when she died in J), despite how she feels for him. 19 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: But by Alpha 2 he definitely already seemed to be a changed man, so something definitely went down to make him change.

I mean, we also have Laiga/Raiga (Liger) and Taiga (Tiger). So characters with big feline names is something of a theme there too, not just lions, heh. 6 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: That's different.

I'll admit I don't know the full story there, but I wouldn't say he doesn't feel something for her, perhaps. It's just, he puts his duty and other personal feelings (like his enmity with his half-brothers) way to the forefront. This is parallel with Combattler's plot in Alpha 1, where the Balmarians do the same to Oreana, so Garuda also keeps fighting for them. Which goes back that the Campellians and Boazans seem to be vassal states of the Ze Balmary, at least during Alpha 1. 6 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Voltes in Alpha 2 is pretty fillery I'm guessing?

Yeah, integrating Heinel to the Daimos plotline is basically to making the series relevant during Alpha 2 beyond just being there for continuity's sake. Also roster padding, since I did mentioned Alpha 2 is the game with the smallest cast of the Alphaverse. At least it's more than what Combattler got in Alpha 2, which is... well, I wouldn't know. Maybe they also have some relevance, but it's likely less than what Voltes got, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being one consciousness and having multiple bodies to control. would be a mess. I think that's part of the reason the Link totem exists, where you stack all three. Besides having use in height based puzzles, it means you can just kind of carry the other two when you don't need to do anything else. Which is still really tedious, but less so than having to walk the same paths three times. Experimentation is a double edged sword. Sometimes, you do something no one has dared to try before and revolutionize the industry, and other times you do something no one dared to try, only to become ensnared in the web of reasons they avoided it in the first place.

Interdimensional Observer Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 3 hours ago, Dayni said: Ah, so you're playing body swap constantly. It's tolerable, some tricky timings, but tolerable. I made it through the entire game ...except the final battle. There's your typical LoZ magical tennis match there, with the orb changing colors every time you hit it, so you need to quickly swap to the correct body and swing before you get struck. I recall failing that so many times, I once or twice eventually made it past that, but the fatigue made me always lose in the subsequent final phase of the boss battle. Now, doing the various bonus challenges -at least some of which are timed- that unlock after you clear each world? Solo on those might be very very nasty indeed. 3 hours ago, Dayni said: Imagine being one consciousness and having multiple bodies to control. would be a mess. Wouldn't be a problem if you didn't need all your bodies active at once. If you could find a room to have them securely sleep in for however long is necessary while another is active, it'd be fine. Alternatively, some very good AI that could stay awake, self-preserve and follow your specific plans could be workable. -I'm not speaking of Tri-Force Heroes here, just random creative writing thoughts of my own.😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact Hasha characters got into Cipher shows IS do consider them to be official characters to some capacity. Since no other non-game-originated characters were put there, that I'm aware of at least. Now, what would clinch it would be if they were actually put in Heroes, too. Chances are certainly very low, though. I can only see it if it was, as I mentioned, part of an awareness/promotion campaign for a Binding remake.
