Acacia Sgt Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Armagon said: The remake sucks actually. Been a while since I played TTYD, and... I'll admit this is confusing. On one hand, the Toad kid can walk a bit away from the Save Block eastward, to the point he could've just been offscreen from the clip. On the other hand, there should also be an Adult Toad near the Save Block, while the Koopa shouldn't be there. So it means one of two things. One: At some point after Chapter 1 the Petalburg NPC's get moved around and I'm just not remembering. Or two: They indeed changed the NPC composition of Petalburg for the remake for... some reason. So better hope the kid only got moved instead of outright removed. Actually, yes, the clip ends barely showing where the Koopa that greets you welcome should be there, but he seems to not be there either.

Acacia Sgt Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Moved NPC's might be the case, actually. The trailer also shows a Toad in the Petalburg shop that shouldn't be there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why to me it's a game you really only play once. it's also "very empty" for the lack of a better term 4 hours ago, Lightcosmo said: Spoilers for those who don't want to know Kuro II's story!

Acacia Sgt Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Okay, time to do the Salerno Academy. The first of the Hard mode only dungeons. They all have certain kind of gimmicks and puzzles to them beyond just platforming. Most importantly, however, is the fact they contain Flame Gems. These are needed to progress through this game's Seraphic Gate. Yeah, even the postgame requires you to play Hard Mode to fully explore it. Anyway, the gimmick of Salerno Academy is that colored flowered vines block certain paths. At certain points of the dungeon there's "colored scents" that let you pass through the corresponding vines... but the scent only lasts after crossing enough dungeon rooms. There's also acid to pick up that destroy the vines outright... but will regrow, again, after passing a certain number of rooms. Plus you can only carry a single use of acid at the time which is also at a set point to pickup. So let's go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, Breath of the Wild as opposed to Tears of the Kingdom, which is obviously much more filled in (including with actually good side quests). But yeah, BotW really put all it's cards in the e exploration, for better and worse. It's why the second playthrough of it had me not activating any towers. 52 minutes ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: heard Kuro 2 does it very badly tho I heard Kuro 2 fumbles the third act specifically.

Acacia Sgt Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Okay, done with the dungeon. Now, this Chapter's Cave of Oblivion... it's the version with no items whatsoever. On the flip side, the enemies are on par with the chapter, so it can be a grinding run. I already have Jun and Nanami ready for transfer, so I'll use the rest of my periods to train up Lawfer and Jelanda.

Acacia Sgt Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Okay, I have six periods left, so three dungeon visits. I think I'll do them at Nethov Swamp. Due to the vine gimmicks, Salerno Academy is a bit of a hassle to go through. But I'll put a stop for now. May resume later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
