Idk about hard, but on maddening, chapter 7’s boss squad is brutal. And I love it. Ch.7 is probably the easiest chapter for me so far Btw, tell me your experience on ch.10/11 when you get there Especially 11 was super tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because its anime as shit, has leveling doesnt make it the same stuff as FF Thats like lumping together FF tactics with FF10 just because it has FF in title Edited January 22, 2023 by joevar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a strategy I’ve used for several bosses because unbreakability and two health bars is a bitch.

He just fucking yeeted Roy at Diamant lol This is not a good thing, because the monarchs are the biggest casualties of Engage's utter terror of taking any risks in its storytelling. No chance of these guys surviving, nope. Instead I'll get his utter bore sons. Bleh. End of Ch.8 Spoiler "come on my boy. Do you really think I need protection? You really think I'm going to die out there?" I will say, they are so blatant about it that it feels like the writers themselves are like "yes yes they die, here it comes". 3 hours ago, Sooks said: Every map is taking me forever. This isn’t exactly a bad thing, but it does make sessions feel draining, heh. Am I the only one? They used to take a bit and then I switched unit selection to the traditional "drag arrow to where you want". Combined with fast movement, game sped up. 3 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Yeah, the extra HP seems like a massive annoyance, but it served to counter the bosses' breakability well It works a lot better here than in Three Houses, that goes without saying. 3 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: I think I need to add in a second game. Perhaps you could emulate the Atelier Iris trilogy. Now I know, that's another JRPG and Iris isn't representative of the series as a whole but Atelier games as a whole are just chill so if you ever need a break from the brainworms Xenosaga gives you, you could always synthesize some stuff. 49 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Especially 11 was super tight *Puss in Boots Death whistle* Gonna see if I can get there tonight.

Shoulda made this joke a while ago (even if I'm the only one who really gets it), but I missed the chance and I wasn't going to pass up this one.😄 1 hour ago, joevar said: Its an SRPG. Just because its anime as shit, has leveling doesnt make it the same stuff as FF Thats like lumping together FF tactics with FF10 just because it has FF in title Agreed. FE, barring TMS, isn't a JRPG. Narratively... JRPG-adjacent, not exactly the same, certainly a lot of the same tropes and whatnot. But I think the giant army has long made Fire Emblem unable to have a "normal" JRPG plot, the gameplay forces the narrative to deviate? Maybe? -I'm not actually 100% sure myself.😅 In gameplay the franchise has decidedly been on the S side of SRPG, the strategy aspects- unit types and map design to name two things, have usually been stronger than the RPG elements. Recent games do go heavier on the RPG side of things, namely as character gameplay customization, yet it can't change the S roots of FE. Final Fantasy Tactics since you named it, is by contrast an SRPG that took an eraser to the "J" and turned it to an "S", it's fundamentally a JRPG adapted to a grid. 36 minutes ago, Armagon said: Perhaps you could emulate the Atelier Iris trilogy. Now I know, that's another JRPG and Iris isn't representative of the series as a whole but Atelier games as a whole are just chill so if you ever need a break from the brainworms Xenosaga gives you, you could always synthesize some stuff. I could do that.🤔 But... you ought to know well by now I really overthink things.😆 Massive natural indecisiveness + The Paradox Of Choice (too many options lead to choice paralysis; I have no shortage of games to choose from) = one baaaaad combination.😝 Though yeah, sampling the workshop of the goddess of the rainbow isn't something I had considered. Might be a good pick. As for Xenosaga, right now I want to screw with history and steal those Anima Vessels ASAP, I feel like having some E.S. combat again would excite me. Although I could be overestimating how the first E.S. dungeon had made me feel, and it's more a general mecha-liking energy flowing through me at ATM (possibly b/c I plowed through the first 20 minutes of my daily exercise routine with no-sweat triumphal optimistic exuberance listening to some SRWOGs again) that explains this.😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I get it but it does pick up again towards the later portion of the time travel. And yes, E.S combat in this game is very exciting. I don't think you'll see it until after you return to the present tho. I think. I could be wrong. I feel like I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joevar Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Bonds of fire, connect us~ Love provides, protect us~ sure the opening lyric version may be corny, but its remix of main theme version that plays as battle map song in ch. 10 slaps hard tho. it ramps up the hype this is one thing that im sure (hoped?) no FE fans would be divided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
