They feel a little bit unnecessary, to be honest, since you're not getting any EXP or skill EXP out of them (seemingly, this is the part I'm unsure about), and especially the raids always seem to happen at the most inopportune moments, too, interrupting the flow of things a little. Like, I'd be in the middle of exploring a dungeon, and then it's "hey, by the way, your village is about to get rekt. Pls halp!" I don't wanna skip them, either, even if they may be optional, because I feel compelled to do them the second they show up. xD I will say, however, that actually PLAYING them is fun, because the combat is fun. It just doesn't feel very rewarding to do them, is all. Ateleast in Ys 8 they fit the setting and story content isn't locked behind them... Unlike Ys 9 where they made it a core part of the game and you have to do them to advance <.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They at least have that purpose! 6 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Unlike Ys 9 where they made it a core part of the game and you have to do them to advance <.< Oh boy! Though that might actually be better, since, like I said, the mechanic itself is a blast! Also, the music is greatExcept when Paro is like "Dogi Squad doing bad!" or something similar. That always stresses me out. xD It's just that it doesn't feel rewarding enough. And if your reward is progress, then that might be a little better than the (seemingly) almost nothing in Ys 8. Because so far, the raids I liked the most were the ones that happened as part of the story! Edited July 10, 2021 by DragonFlames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 *Goes into the final battle, finally facing the eponymous foe myself* *Dies just before dealing the last shot to the first phase* *Has to restart back at the save station a little distance away* *Checks LPs to see if there is any free health after phase one, sees that there is, but it's minimal* 3 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: I already know how to fight it, but "survive the first phase, die in the second" is looming in my mind as a possible outcome, despite phase two reading like the easier half. And after Samus Returns, I can't help but be paranoid I'll be shut out of finishing another Metroid by a late/final boss. My prediction was accurate. 😔 Only one try I made, it's normal to fail first time on a boss, particularly the last. -I know. I think I knew too much and not enough for this fight. I had been misled into thinking one attack was particularly bad and took evasive maneuver for it when I thought the boss was preparing to use it. The problem is I was mistaking every long windup the boss made for that attack, when very very often it wasn't it, and the attack the boss actually used would fry me (I still failed to consistently dodge the expected attack anyhow!). And it really does look like phase two is easier as well, if not that much shorter. Can I get gud enough to win the whole fight then? Maybe. I actually would've triggered the phase transition had the boss not deflected some of my shots for no apparent good reason- does it have invincibility around its eyes? I don't understand why the hits didn't register. But, my morale has plummeted, and I'm not sure if feel like giving it another go at all. Simply meeting the infamous creature in their game of origin, a game of my childhood I knew very well but very rarely played, filled me with awe and dread. Well then, I'll say I'm done with Metroid Prime, as utterly defeatist as it is. I don't need perfect resolution, I've experienced 98% of it. The game isn't flawless (needs more music for one), and I still prefer 2D Metroid, but it was good, I can see why people have revered it as a GoAT. I'm not sure if I'd rush to buy Metroid Prime 4 in 2035, but if Nintendo ports the Trilogy to Switch (I don't feel like buying it on my Wii U, though I could), I'll purchase it. I'll replay Prime 1 on on the new Normal difficulty, it'll be too easy the vast majority of the time, but it ought to assure I can see the ending. 33 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: I gotta remember that present Dana can't transform, while past Dana can. xD There is a reason for this that's eventually stated. I do love Dana's transforming. Were she to ever show up in a crossover or other game in some capacity, I'd be majorly disappointed if she couldn't.

Were she to ever show up in a crossover or other game in some capacity, I'd be majorly disappointed if she couldn't. Yeah definitely! It is the same reason I was a little sad Arnice's transformations were relegated to her special attack in Warriors All-Stars, and even then, it's only the starting one. Any of the others I showed off per screenshots on the previous page sadly do not make an appearance. Same with her weapon transformations. The Hammer appears in her Hero Skill, but the Crossbow and Daggers (as well as the second form of her sword) are all missing. Doesn't stop her from having the single most creative and fun sword-based moveset in any Warriors game I've played, but still. It is a bit of a shame that they didn't emphasize that part of Nights of Azure's gameplay a little more. 6 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: not saying that Ys 9 and Black Hole 3-5 don't have any bangers, they do, but they have a much higher amount of garbage It says a lot when Compile Heart did that one boss I really liked from CS3 more justice than CS3 itself.
