Interdimensional Observer Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) BTW @Acacia Sgt, I can’t believe this didn’t dawn on me sooner. But regarding Compact 2/Impact …how did anyone fall in love with Best Duo?🧐 Earth Crisis and Cosmoquake only give you one each of them to play with, and by the time Galaxy Showdown happens -well one of them takes some time to join. They’re great on their own, don’t get me wrong, but without all those wonderful initial interactions between the two of them that happen in the OGverse, I just don’t get it.😐 How did they have any chemistry between each other even, other than that one bit of backstory? -I doubt Compact 2/Impact is getting translated any day soon b/c length, so I don't mind asking you. 28 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: It's 4 am Ü Can't sleep? Bonding time? 24 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Units commenting on being on the bench xD -Oh wait, Engage. My mistake.😜 I wouldn't have the vigor for 4AM gaming nowadays. 48 minutes ago, Armagon said: convinced me that horror elements in a non-horror thing are more effective than straight-up horror. Some Kirby fans would agree with you. -Although I feel like they overstate the bloody bits. Kirby ain't dark. 45 minutes ago, joevar said: i recognize that artstyle and gameplay. is that one franchise that at least has 3 installment? arc-something? hmm if i recall thats from the same studio that make stella glow right? Luminous Arc. When ImageEpoch lost the Luminous Arc IP, they made Stella Glow as a veeeeeery close replacement. Those images are from Luminous Arc 2. Bring Roland to a battle, bring a witch, and by virtue of partaking of her Unity Ring, Roland can Engage and gain some temporary buffs. Waaaaaaaaaaay simpler and weaker than FE's new mechanic of the same name. 45 minutes ago, joevar said: SRPG is more of gameplay than story. after all anyone who play SRW will know, that series story full of nonsense to the point of "shit happen, but dont ask how, it just happen, period." 😅 Hey now! SRW tries its hardest to make coherence out of disparate franchises and characters. It's not always stupid, far from it, some of the little interactions between people from different licenses are really good. Even something as simple as Victory Gundam's Uso and GunxSword's Van eating together, Uso convinced they're kinda similar, can have a certain subtle sublimity to it. And even when SRW is stupid, if you have a problem with that, well you can kiss my shining finger!😝 45 minutes ago, joevar said: about FFT, not implying it has bad story ofc. just that it plays exactly like a fire emblem but also doesnt spark as much story discussion as its mainline FF, afaik... maybe Now there I disagree. I could had no problems with Old Mystery of the Emblem, I never got past the first part of FFT. The gameplay is just so much slower and tedious than FE, because it's so much different, IMO. -Although it doesn't seem like Final Fantasy Tactics story is all that it claims to be, looks like it tried to be "political", yet ended falling to Final Fantasy obsession with Summons/Eidolons and or Crystals. -Or at least that's how it seemed to me. -I did have good fun with FFTA and FFTA2 as a child however, they were nice games, though still appreciably slower than FE and SRW.

And after I forged him a weapon and now he’s fairly competent, if a little squishy. But he keeps getting super good levels every other level up so I’m hoping he’ll get even better… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, there are a few scenes between both groups, which allows for Kyosuke and Excellen to chat a bit. Though there aren't that many scenes, and by the end of each part things happen that make it impossible for both groups to communicate, so it doesn't last. Early in the third part they are together, and Excellen doesn't spend Einst-brainwashed for long, so they have the latter half of part 3 to build things up. Impact having more content than Compact 2, naturally. So yeah, there is enough content. Then naturally, OGverse picks up the slack, but Compact2/Impact, specially the latter, did had enough of a foundation. 21 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Hey now!

SRW is all about how the various stories and characters weave together into one full tapestry. And with how many combinations of casts each game can do, we'll hardly ran out any time soon. Even to this day SRW still brings new stuff. Like how T and 30 gives us the Amuro-Kouji-Ryouma Veteran SRW Trio. Their interactions are quite on point when they are same-age peers, hahaha.

Have fun, everyone! See you at endgame in 15 years! I mean, I played for hours today but only did like, one main story chapter, two regular paralogues, and a divine paralogue, and a couple skirmishes. Which is a lot, but I didn't exactly progress much. And next I might check those further divine paralogues... which is curious a lot unlocked despite only Wave 1 DLC being available. Eh, might as well... Edited January 22, 2023 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Chapter 8, I see what you did there game. Such Conquest vibes. And also, what if you wanted to set up a boss kill for one of your new units but Alear said “7% crit les gooo” This boss was surprisingly weak though. She could only one round like one unit and I was able to beat her with no Emblem skills (which I had to do because I didn’t know she was gonna do that). Which is a first. 6 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: First run Maddening is eh since no one knows whats what yet imo. Fun you mean 6 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Sorry to hear that, though! No, it’s cool! I’m having fun! 3 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Reseting or mind going overdrive xD Mind going MEGA overdrive. More so than in Conquest (not that this is harder than Conquest, but the solutions to problems are a lot simpler there and I’m used to those mechanics and skills). I had to reset chapter 3, and there was The Incident™ in chapter 5 where I used 9 divine pulses because I forgot half the map existed. Other than that I’ve been using mostly 1-2 divine pulses per map, sometimes none, and sometimes more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast comparing Hard difficulties.

I think i used a total of 3 divine pulses so far, 2 because of a missclick and one because i was so used to having Canto on Chloe that when Sigurd was whem someone different, i forgot Chloe doesn't have Canto anymore xD Otherwise i do a full reset on fatal mistakes. 8 minutes ago, Green06 said: Meanwhile, this is all what some people can talk about Hiya pippiya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
