Interdimensional Observer Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 A little reading does well for one's wellbeing.😌 Setting aside the inevitable talk of significant animal population/environmental decline b/c humanity.

Acacia Sgt Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Third HP bar down! You know, the extra HP bars certainly makes them feel like the early SRW bosses that would cast Guts at certain thresholds, effectively lengthening the fight via extra HP. Or as a way to circumvent the integer cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 It's done. It. Is. Done. I've beaten the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The second phase is going way smoother now that i've forged and inherited. It is now apparent that there is a difficulty spike in the final map because, as i've said before, no previous map made me feel like i had to do that to stand a chance.

Acacia Sgt Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Yeah, gonna admit, on Normal, I could beat this without taking down the barrier once. Only took me six turns, even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armagon Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Aight i'll leave things here. I will finish this game tomorrow (or later today, it's past midnight). For real this time. ......no but seriously, how the fuck did equipping a few skills and forging turn the battle completely on it's head? Do i still consider the map to be stinky now? Because now it's apparent that it really is just a big difficulty spike. But damn it's so much harder if you don't do the thing you could get away with not doing for 25 chapters. Idk how to feel. At least the optimal strat is Draconic Hex. Lesson of the day. 14 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: Yeah, gonna admit, on Normal, I could beat this without taking down the barrier once.

True. Still, with a +5 forged Wille Glanz I was shaving off half the HP bar. So with Seadall dancing that was a full HP bar down in just three actions. I also had Diamant+Ike and Alfred+Roy shaving off half the life bar each too with Ragnel and Binding Blade. Granted, this was when I had defeated Spoiler three of the initial four Dark Emblems, but still.

Acacia Sgt Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 So, naturally, I got Alear's paired ending with Ivy. Interesting thing I read about the Japanese version of it: Spoiler Apparently it states that Elusia began worshipping the Divine Dragon. Granted, it'd be a given they'd at least stop worshipping Sombron considering what happened and all; but actually taking to worshipping Alear, the implication being due to how close their Queen became with them, is something that localization removed... for some reason. Then again... Treehouse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Also, yes, finally, I can rest in peace regarding the piano! Well, that was it. At least, until the rest of the DLC arrives. In the meantime... there's always SRW, heh. ... yeah, I won't deny it, I still stand about what I mentioned before regarding not wanting to play through the story again. And yes, it's because of that one thing. Is it petty? I guess, but it really REALLY bothered me so. It's a shame, because otherwise I enjoyed this from start to finish. Ah well. Engage will still be played with, no worries there. Definitely recommend it... not that here needs to be told that, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so happy it is completely pointless and I get proficiencies from whacking the emblems instead. 7 hours ago, Armagon said: Saint Rubenio now that i think about it, i think you got the attacks mixed up Spoiler There was no range indicator, but there were visual and sound effects around Sombron when he prepared to Disengage. ...Did you skip EPs here? That might be the problem. Not that I'm blaming you, that is the kind of thing that shouldn't be skippable, but still. 6 hours ago, Armagon said: HE DID IT AGAIN! HE FUCKING DID IT AGAIN! AND THIS TIME I WAS STALLING TRYING TO GET MY UNITS IN POSITION FOR WHEN THE BARRIER GOES DOWN AND HE DID IT AGAIN! I HAVE PROOF Hide contents There was no warning at all that he was gonna do this again. No visual indicator, nada. So if the barrier goes down, he'll Disengage and if it doesn't and you take too long, he does it anyways because fuck you for trying to play the game. This is actually fucking dogshit man HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO FOCUS ON SOMBRON AND HIS BARRIER WHEN I HAVE 50 FLIER REINFORCEMENTS BREATHING DOWN MY NECK EVERY FUCKING TURN Either make the enemies way less strong or space out the reinforcements by like five turns or some shit, this is absolutely ridiculous. It warns me each time he's gonna do his laser beam attack but not the thing that could actually kill a strategy. Okay, yes, that"s true. There are no effects there. ...huh. I wonder what happened there. That looks more like an oversight/bug than anything else to me. 6 hours ago, Armagon said: Do i have to turtle? Do i have to go around in a fucking loop grouped together until the barrier is down? Is that the play? Am i dumb for daring to split the party in two like the map is leading you to? I don't know what to tell you. I did split the party, in fact I had my forced spread thin around the map. I still was able to murder him on the second wave, long before he could do the funny a second time. Heck, the only reason he didn't fall, or at least got severely weakened, the first time was that I wanted content for Youtube lol Not trying to be snarky here, don't get me wrong, but I'm genuinely surprised you're having this much trouble. 4 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Holy... you guys already saw the news of the earthquakes in Turkey!?

I did forge, I had a good few forged and all the engravements assigned. But I used inheritance like, three times in the game. And the only time it actually mattered was when I gave the old man Wrath. Etie didn't use the Vantage I gave her a single time in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Oh, right, last Friday the Prologue of the Engage Manga adaptation was released at Jump magazine. I wonder if there's a way to see it in full. Either that's not taking place in present day or they decided to make the twins quite... smol. Or it's instead Tallder. Or it's just the perspective playing tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, characters in general ks I believe the aspect of Engage people will look at more kindly as time goes on. I really don't see what's so wrong with this game's characters, and a lot of the "characters are one-dimensional" complaints feel more knee-jerk than other criticisms. Like, sure, Bunet exists. He's the one everyone is always bringing up as an example of this. So what? Raphael existed too. So did Bernadetta and everyone loves that one. The character writing is not bad, they just get a bit less of it than the previous game, more in line with past FEs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
