Sooks Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) And just watched the secret post credits scene that you have to load your save and go through the same cutscenes again (or skip them, hopefully) to watch because Falcom are ass at this sort of thing. Not that I did that, I just searched it up on YouTube. The fact that Spoilerwoman shares a voice with Dorothea Fire Emblem is oddly funny to me. But speaking of, the whole True Ending vs Normal Ending split is dumb. They’re not different enough to justify being separate, let alone one being “missable”. From what I can tell, it’s not actually missable however, if you beat the game without fulfilling the requirements the game will have a little portal thing right before the final boss you can use to go back and do the boss fight you missed. I’m not gonna verify that myself though so someone correct me if I’m totally off. But either way, literally the only difference is that Spoiler In the Normal Ending, Black Alberich teleports out of the fortress, and in the true ending, the curse has weakened enough that he comes out as Franz. Why is he different? Who knows, multiple endings! But nothing remotely interesting happens in the normal ending, Rean just has to sacrifice himself like he’s tried to do literally every other time there’s been a problem. But the True Ending is essentially just tacked on to the normal ending, just the shared part altered slightly, meaning there’s no reason why you should have to redo the final boss + a boss fight you missed to get it. And if you did get the boss fight your first go, the game makes you watch the normal ending and then reload after the final boss to see the true ending which… takes two seconds, but feels so pointless. It’s like that Kurisu ending in the Steins;Gate VN where the True Ending literally just continues from right after that ending but it won’t happen if you didn’t happen to pick the correct email responses because… who knows why? (Although that one’s worse because you have to skip through 3/4s of the VN, but they’re both the same in that there’s no reason for them to be missable. I mean maybe if the normal ending in CS4 showed us something interesting, which it kinda does but like… ehhhh.) It’s just a couple boss fights so it’s not the end of the world, and you could search it up on YouTube if you really can’t be bothered, but the whole thing just feels so pointless. I don’t mean to come across super negative or like I’m ranting, this one aspect doesn’t really change the game all that much, I just think it was a funny choice.

Armagon Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 It is 2023 which means we are 20 days away from Fire Emblem Engage. Also Tears of the Kingdom comes out in just five months, which is insane considering how little we know about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, hopefully it will let me know when that’s the case so I don’t spend an hour bumbling for a solution. 10 hours ago, Sooks said: You know, I played Sonic Generations once. It was a game that existed.

Interdimensional Observer Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 44 minutes ago, Armagon said: Also Tears of the Kingdom comes out in just five months, which is insane considering how little we know about it. The game seems like it got announced too early and then delayed (pandemic and all explains at some of it), and yet, being Zelda, Nintendo gets away with saying nothing while continuing to retain massive interest. With the start of the new year, Nintendo needs to fill in its release lineup (is it just me, or is starting a new year pretty blank a tendency of Ninty for a while now?), and TotK ought to be a top priority on it. I'll never guess exactly when Directs are, but I can imagine this month or next would be a good chance to do that. A dedicated Tears Direct at some point doesn't sound infeasible either. Maybe Ninty wants avoid throwing timber for the flames of hype into the fireplace until 3~4 months before release, makes for a shorter-lived, more magnificent flame than a drip-feed over a longer period. Of course, the ideal solution would've been not to announce TotK so soon. 2 years in advance at most is enough for any AAA announcement, a year & a half might be better, AA could use a little less, indies usually don't get/need any.

It's interesting how it's a Zelda only phenomenon. Mario doesn't get that many mainline games but it gets a lot of other stuff so fans are still well fed. Pokemon is Pokemon. But Zelda is like once every few years, akin to most franchises, yet the sheer power it holds by simply saying "new Zelda" is insane. 34 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: is it just me, or is starting a new year pretty blank a tendency of Ninty for a while now It's so they can have a Nintendo Direct in January.

And while yes, what was always interesting about Osbro was his political intrigue and policies that he was first set up with, that led to things like Crossbell. And that’s way more interesting than The Curse™. Osbro peaked in Sky 3rd. At least I think that was part of his plan, his plan was kind of unclear to be honest. 2 hours ago, Green06 said: The Normal End is vital to Haji, and will get expanded a lot.
