Although, modern Xeno does avoid the trap entirely. And i think that FF falls into the same trap as TMS, those skills feel... meh after a while cause your just on autopilot with options there. It wasn't till FF XIII that they finally decided to try something new. Edited June 11, 2021 by lightcosmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'd like to see Lucifer under a razor-thin aliasĀ show up inĀ NPC capacity, the dude already loves observing situationsĀ -but he is always so serious, he could loosen up for once. That's one of the reasons. Ā I'm serious enough to say that at least Project X Zone 2 had very good maps and gameplay which came close enough to Fire Emblem. The chapter in which to defend the shop shuttle was a really well designed defense chapter with a surprisingly high difficulty. Ā Edit: As for a theoretical TMS2, it'd be wise to use Devil Survivor's gameplay since it's a roundbased tactical JRPG.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) improvements: aside of having more mission objectives it matters from which side you attack cons: the game doesn't use OST anymore but remixes (which very most of them are worse than the original) Ā also one personal con: Spoiler removal of Frank West Ā Edited June 11, 2021 by Zan Partizanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Agreed, Frank West was my personal highlight of 1. Not only because of all his photos, but I also loved his special attack of all characters the most. However the two Yakuza guys are pretty much the replacement in latter aspect.

The one thing that sets Lucia apart still is that I haven't played the Touhou game this is from. But yeah, as far as BGMs (and songs in general) go, this comes pretty darn close to beating out Lucia. I did call the original version "almost Lucia tier" after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFlames Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) A large part about what I like about this theme isn't actually the music itself (although it does match my tastes perfectly, just like Lucia), but it's actually more the character it is associated with. Same as Lucia, really. I already talked at length about Malvasia, so I'll spare you the sermon, but the character whose theme this is has a backstory that just says "Draggy's gonna love this!" To wit: Basically, Byakuren was a Buddhist nun, until one day her brother died, at which point she began to fear death. And so she started to seek immortality, and ended up attaining it through use of dark magic (thus basically turning her back on Buddhism, and practically becoming a Youkai herself). She also used her newfound powers to restore her youth. Now, the caviat is that she can only stay immortal so long as Youkai are around, so she did everything she could to protect them to preserve her immortality, while posing as someone who exterminates them. Over time, this selfish need turned into a genuine desire to help Youkai, and to have Youkai and humans live together in harmony. People didn't like this, however, so she was sealed away for a thousand years. And her original theme does such a good job of reflecting all that. Her hope, her sorrow, and her resolve... all perfectly captured by the music. And THAT is what makes me love it so much, beyond it just being damn good music! Not to mention, she is one of the nicest characters in the entire cast of Touhou. Hence her fan nickname "Youkai Jesus". xD Also, from this, it should be no secret to ANYONE that Byakuren is easily my favorite character in Touhou. And yes, this is the character they gave a motorcycle to in a later fighting game spin-off. XD Edited June 11, 2021 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
