Sooks Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Ah crap, the game doesn’t let you keep resting once the timer hits zero, but doesn’t send you back to Arberrang until you leave camp, meaning you can’t rest. Looks like I won’t be seeing every return to Arberrang. Oops. Edited August 22, 2021 by Sooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always some hope. 40 minutes ago, Sooks said:  Hide contents I forgot about all those things, but it makes sense when you put them all together like that, thanks. But according to Juno, it’s better that the end of the world was jump started because the snake isn’t as powerful as it could be and they actually have a chance to save it from the inevitable apocalypse. So actually thanks for indirectly saving the world, Dusi. Of course, depending on who’s behind the controller, he may have just sped up its demise. But not if I’m behind the controller, I am very smart and good and got the best ending in my blind play through.  Spoiler Hah, actually, yeah. Dusi accidentally saved the world. Though it ended up in pretty bad shape, so... kinda good work but not, Dusi? Ahh who cares. He 100% perished in the tower at Mannahar anyway, either when it got Eyvind'd or when the darkness reached it. So it doesn't matter either way.  23 minutes ago, Ghost_06_ said: I AM kind, Ruben.

Well, in her (and Velouria's) case, it's not as annoying. Both of the monster girls are just their dad, but at least they're rare classes so it's more justified than the other ones. I feel like Nohr did a better job of making the kids feel unique even when they're the same class as their dad. Iggy, for example, looks like he should just be Benny 2, but thanks to his existent speed, he instead functions as a sort of middle ground between him and Effie. 9 minutes ago, Sooks said: How dare you try to throw out the term Sooks% to get me to do what you want?

Eltosian Kadath Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 @Saint Rubenio Quote In other news, I finished Layton 1. That was... surprisingly long, actually. Didn't expect to get 13 hours out of it, I thought it'd be shorter. Really fun, though, I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. I think I'll hunt down the four puzzles I've left and then move on to the second one. Congrats, glad you enjoyed it. The Layton series is one I have been a fan of as well.  Quote I mean, it's not my second favorite FE for nothing! In many ways it beats New Mystery, though having no map saves and a cast that I generally enjoy a bit less (not to say I have no favorites in Fates, but it's less consistent because the royals exist) give NMotE an edge. They're really close, though. To think you used to scoff at that game. Seeing you slowly realize the quality of Conquest's gameplay was entertaining to watch.  Quote Gotta say though, for as much as I criticized early!Felicia, I ended up kinda eating my words there. She was completely useless until the flame shuriken, but then she singlehandedly (well, with an Odin pair up, but details) kicked the asses of Orochi's whole squad. It was quite impressive! Jakob is probably still better, but she's more fun. It really is such a stark change in her, as soon as she gets the Flame Shuriken she goes from mostly useless in combat to a destructive force.   @Ghost_06_ Quote Ths is why Cynthia is overrated and Gen 4 level curve sucks. Have to disagree about the Cynthia comment (less so about the level curve), she has a solid team for an NPC, with both diversity and quality.  Quote 100% completed. [image] Congrats !!!   47 minutes ago, Dayni said: I didn't say they made massive changes. I was referring to how these playthrough would be told more and more in video format. I have fond memories of reading webcomic playthroughs from artists or reading people's stories. I'm not saying they were all good at it or most came close to finishing (myself included), just reminiscing about how I used to see these stories and how they've faded in time. ..... Man I really am a boomer after all. Personally I think the trend of with mixing animation/art with video gameplay seen in things like Jaiden Animations Nuzlocke videos and Alpharad's Nuzlocke make for the best Nuzlocke experiences.  @Acacia Sgt Quote Ode to Mitama / The Best Child of Hoshido / Everyone Declares Fixed that for you.

Armagon Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Project X Zone 2 is a testament to Monolith Soft's amazing ability to improve with sequels: Man, what an improvement this game is. Every single flaw the first game had is fixed here while improving on the skeleton of the first game. Characters now have their own individual skill bar instead of tying everything to a universal XP bar, allowing maps to be cleared far faster. The maps themselves completely remove the enemy bloat of the first game. Only the last two maps in the game dip the enemy count into the 40s but by then, you've got enough equipment and upgraded each character enough time, along with multiple skill applications, that high enemy counts become a non-issue. And most characters unlock their AoE multi-attacks long before you reach the late game, allowing you to weaken or clear large groups of enemies, significantly reducing the amount of time it takes to clear a map. The improvements to the gameplay here are so great that i was able to clear multiple maps in one sitting, something that became impossible starting in the mid-game of the first game. The presentation of the game has also seen a major buff. The sprites are the usual top-tier quality of course but the animated cut-ins for specials and assists just so neat to look at now. The UI is improved, giving you a much clearer picture of what's going on. Really, this whole game's an improvement. The story is just dumb fun like last time and that's fine, i didn't come into this game expecting Shakesphere. Though my experience with most of these characters is still limited to just these crossovers, i was still able to enjoy them and their interactions although no doubt i would enjoy it a lot more if i had played those games. Speaking of characters, there seems to be a trend for Monolith Soft characters to improve when in a crossover. T-elos saw a massive improvement in her crossover appearances compared to her original appearance in Xenosaga Episode III. And now, Fiora has gotten a huge boost to her character and the main reason is because Shulk is not in this game, and so it gives her more freedom for her character. Seriously, i feel like there's a big gap between how Fiora is written in this game vs how she's written in Xenoblade Chronicles. The music for the most part is just cheating because it's just remixes from existing songs. Not all of them are as good as their original versions but oh well, what are you to do. Admittedly, this game does occasionally get repetitive at times and it's pretty long so that might definitely be an issue for some. But as long as it's not the only game your playing, the repetitiveness shouldn't sting too much. Besides, the very cool spritework and attack animations this game has can distract you from the occasional repetitiveness. This game has given me even more appreciation for Monolith Soft, because if there's one thing they are consistently good at, it's improving tremendously with sequels. Even on the very rare times they make a bad game, the chances are high that should a sequel ever come, it'll be a tremendous improvement and it just shows how good Monolith Soft is at improving. 8/10 Updated "games i played in 2021" rankings.

Armagon Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Because Project X Zone 2 was long as fuck and because 13 Sentinels is super story heavy, I think imma play New Super Mario Bros Wii before 13 Sentinels.

People treat Cynthia like a nightmare because of this, and if the game's level curve were better, a well-balanced Player team wouldn't be wiped out so easily.
