Shrimpica Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Also there's the fact that boss battle in Ys 8 is bitchy hard (atleast on Nightmare) which made alot of sense for the player party to be tired after, while in CS it was "haha s-craft go brrrr" super easy battles, which made losing in the cutscene dumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though so far, Ys 8's writing has been leagues better than Sky's for me (to the point where I played that, anyhow). 8 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: I was so happy when this happened, and went full "COLD STEEL, THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT!" Same, actually! XD I think I actually yelled this out loud, even. XD The scenes right after this were also really well done! 8 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Best Girl! Playstyle-wise, I 100% agree! ^^ Character-wise, first impression positive, but I need to see more of her before I can make a final conclusion! Also, if you were wondering where I'm at currently: I am scaling Mt. Gendarme, and have gotten Ricotta to join up with me! By the look of it, my final team will be an all-girls one if Dana ever joins Adol's group, because I have a lot more fun playing as the girls compared to their male equivalents (Dana for slashes, Laxia for pierce, Ricotta for bash attacks). xD Also, the game went full Walking With Dinosaurs on me.

Or even the refights against what I will now dub as honorary "Draggy the Second". XD Edited July 5, 2021 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will love the boss of Gendarme, and i bet 10 internet points you will use him as pfp (not midway boss) Also after midway boss there's a little secret. In the same room. 4 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: By the look of it, my final team will be an all-girls one if Dana ever joins Adol's group, because I have a lot more fun playing as the girls compared to their male equivalents (Dana for slashes, Laxia for pierce, Ricotta for bash attacks). xD I suggest you switch around btw 4 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: Also, the game went full Walking With Dinosaurs on me.

DragonFlames Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Just now, Shrimperor said: Solo sections are kino and based! I enjoyed hers a lot! My biggest problem with it is that it should've been longer. XD Also, I have a hunch that this Olga person (one of Dana's friends) will turn out to be a villain somewhere down the line. I dunno why, but that's what I'm thinking! Also, you wanna know what else I find based about this game? The environments! Like... this stuff looks legit amazing! I'm enjoying myself a lot, if you can't tell. XD 1 minute ago, Shrimperor said: You will love the boss of Gendarme, and i bet 10 internet points you will use him as pfp (not midway boss) I am EXTREMELY interested in what that boss will be like, haha! 2 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Also after midway boss there's a little secret. In the same room. Oooh, nice! Then I will definitely look for it once I get back there after finding orichalcum (which is what the game wants me to do next)! Thanks! ^^ 3 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: I suggest you switch around btw Aww But yeah, for the sake of leveling up the skills, I will have to switch around my party a lot. Still, I think, if possible, I will tackle the final boss with Dana, Laxia, and Ricotta, since those three have been the most fun for me so far, playstyle-wise! 3 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: You ain't seen nothing yet xD Oh? :IntriguedDraggy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So familiarize yourself atleast with everyone I also like playing with the Gals a bit more, since they are usually (much) faster. Adol is up there with them tho, although Dana is my fav. 7 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: Oh? :IntriguedDraggy: :smilingShrimpy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 *Eats a sandwich for lunch, indoors.* *Sees a tiny maggot-like worm on the plate.* 🤮 How did it get there? Oh well, my appetite didn't take more than a half-hour to return. -- Ventured into the basement, it's strange looking over my GameCube collection, the oldest thing left from my childhood. PoR, Sunshine, Melee, PM: TTYD, Tales of Symphonia, Custom Robo, both BKs, good memories. I still have some bonus CDs from a few games, including Luminous Arc 2, but not SRTOGSEF's. The platinum lunch box still functions, as does the Wavebird. Didn't have the old unfinished save data anymore, not that it bothered me, a fresh Metroid Prime file was in my plans. I still don't like the save file menu, I get it, but it weird, one of the things that didn't endear to me the game as a child. Controls will take some time to get used to. I've seen people criticize the pointer controls in MP3 and the trilogy collection, but motion controls could've been helpful here. You can't move Samus and the Arm Cannon at the same time. If only the manual aiming had been assigned to the C-Stick for twin-stick FPA, but it gets reserved instead for switching between the four beams -none of which except the Power Beam Samus has for a while. In addition, having to hold L every time I want to lock on to something or scan gets tiresome on my left pointer finger's tip, I could use the midsection of said finger instead, but then the Wavebird is slightly too small for my hands. Decided to stop after finishing the tutorial area, the GC was tested, and almost 20 years since MP1 released, it still works fine. Frigate Orpheon is still A grade atmosphere, not overly hand-holding for a tutorial, if still very easy, and I almost failed at the end b/c I got confused on where to go, the game was a bit too dark to see everything clearly. Love all the scans in it, particularly those describing the cause of death of your predeceased would've-been enemies.  28 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: I am scaling Mt. Gendarme I'm not quite sure if my memory is right saying this, but I would say completing Mt. Gendarme felt like the halfway point to an extent. Or at least, I felt it begins a pivoting of the narrative in retrospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I'm also not a massive fan of this fight, 'cause I feel like he has a few too many really quick attacks that stagger you for a long time. My biggest problem is the cartwheel thing he has. Still, it felt nice to get past him, and I liked Oolacile quite a lot. 3 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Uh-oh...hopefully you didn't lose too much progress...
