Acacia Sgt Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 3 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: These are how Golden Sun: Dark Dawn chose to let Matthew express himself. His father Issac and uncle Felix were plain old silent portags in the first and second games respectively. Camelot's idea for letting Matthew speak despite silence, were these cartoony emojis. May I call it a half-measure that's ironically worst than none at all? These were an absurd idea, and I pity whoever had the good intentions that came up with them. Take the dead daddy situation that led you to write the above, pretend you could have Byleth respond to the murder by putting on a smiley face and everyone else took notice of it. At least it gave us this: lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightchao42 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Which Veyle theory will turn out to be correct? Spoiler 23 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Monica Jeralt "Well, off to visit your mother!" -Monica 5 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Still lighter and thus better than Final Fantasies VII to X-2. That's the era when Square went a little overboard with the great goodies they hid behind optional recreations. Also the period (especially VII & VIII) when momentary gimmicky events closer to minigames than puzzles showed up in the story. Something about "let's take advantage of new technology and expand the Final Fantasy experience in as many ways as possible", I think. What, you didn't like going halfway across the world to Fort Condor after every event flag? And it took me until the last part to figure out how to play it properly. Though FFVII and Engage both have squat exercise minigames, so make of that what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Bruh I got back to The Room™ of chapter 9 and I used FUCKING SIX pulses, one of which was because of a miss, one of which was because I forgot a vital part of my strategy, one was because Boss 1 got a low % crit, and then when I went back I had to fix my strategy anyway and forgot about that first crit, so she got it a second time. Well, if I’m doing worse at this part on the second go around, and the other part was the one I struggled with, maybe that means I’ll do it flawlessly… right?

joevar Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 so maddening folks in engage finally engaging their madness huh boohoo Tempest Trial is tiring. its good they give infinite time crystal so losing is not an excuse. but dang, theres 4 times more enemy than usual it takes forever is it a consensus now Somniel is way better base than garreg mach or any castle before this? courtesy of Sommie ofc. i also dont know what we need is a tiny cute mascot that follows us around at half speed of our run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes Veyle fall into plot-induced stupidity. I don't think it was even shown or hinted how she could steal the Time Crystal from Alear to begin with, but that aside, she has the genius to use it to steal the rings, then prevent the heroes from recovering them as they fell the Engaged enemies... but doesn't use it to kill them? So yeah, just the typical "enemy toys with the heroes" just so the game doesn't end right there. Also the fact that, even getting the Time Crystal back (or does this changes depending on difficulty?), you can't recover the rings anyway. Sure, since this is all dynamic, it'd be hard to make the story accommodate for all that... unless, if I'm sure it happens no matter what, they'd at least do it for the two Rings that the enemies that spawn over the Escape Tiles get granted with. But well, not much love lost for that. Edited January 23, 2023 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armagon Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Yeah I think the way Support Gains work is my biggest issue with the game. I just spent 30 turns in Ch.14 and I have one Support Convo to show for it. In Modern FE, getting a few Supports after each battle was dopamine, now it's gone because having Support Gains being limited to units right next to each other is extremely situational. Tomorrow I will check if I can grind some out in Tempest Trials. 30 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Reveal hidden contents Indeed. It just makes Veyle fall into plot-induced stupidity.

But well, not much love lost for that. The weird thing is Spoiler The way Veyle uses it is completely different from how we use it. She essentially stops time (rewinding time should not have allowed her to steal the rings). But eh, it's a minor plot device. Byleth not using Divine Pulse to save Rodrigue in Azure Moon is worse.
