null Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 The hack is good. I'm enjoying it so far. The dialogue is cheesy and cringe at some points, but in a charming way, kind of like old anime with bad English dubs. The maps are pretty simple so far. I hope that the difficulty kicks up a tad as it goes along. But I still like it a fair bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Now that I’ve turned aside the apocalypse for a second time, I’ve at last cleared my mind, and after some cold-feet delaying, finally turned to peaceful farming with Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. My first impression could’ve been better. The title screen did not have a remix of the old title theme.: Whatever replaced it did not sound all that good to me, and stood no chance of eliciting tears of nostalgic joy like the above track could. My memory said the first day of Spring used to be one big forced tour of Mineral Town, it isn’t in this update, but the first day of Spring is still unplayable, a little odd. And there aren’t really anything in the way of forced interactive tutorials either (written tutorials exist though), though Seedling Mode exists for beginners. I’m a little disappointed the town map doesn’t let you see the hours of operation and closed days of the various shops. The music for Spring alternates between the old tune I recognize, and something new and unfamiliar, not sure why. I made the mistake of leaving one tile untilled in each 3x3 crop square for my first few plantings, the remake does away with the old “no stepping on your crops!”, so I can even with a basic watering can reach and harvest the center plant, that cost me a few hundred gold. Also, I noticed they changed the title screen flashback stuff a little, probably because same-sex marriage meant the old "I was the little boy/girl you played with those years ago, and now we're at the altar" was no longer viable -unless they had chosen to include both a local little boy and a little girl in the sequence. I turned off character portraits first thing, but I think I might turn them back on, considering the portraits add expression to the characters’ words. My turning off of the portraits was likely because the mayor Theodore and Zack, who got really bad redesigns IMO, are the first two people you meet, and I think I’ll be mostly fine with the rest. I picked the new character design myself, since I wanted to mentally separate this remake from the original somewhat, and the new design is perfectly fine too for me. I liked what the designer said of it, that the modern urban look suits the player character more than the classic farming getup because the player is technically an immigrant from the city in the first place. The basic chibi 3D models are alright from the usual ingame distance, up close they’re poor. For all ye RF4 players, this is definitely too simple for you. Wait for RF5, or if you really want to try the mother franchise, the brand new SoS instead (or that indie Stardew Valley game everyone loves, I'm not overly interested in it though). But, I can’t say I’m not having some fun. I played through half of Spring before I decided to take a break, at which point my undocked Switch was down to 20%. Days are definitely fast in this game, though the world is pretty small and time doesn’t go by indoors (including the mines), so it evens out somewhat. I’ve planted about all I can within my current stamina limits, and have upgraded the watering can once. I don’t like that going to sleep even before it’s too late doesn’t give me a 100% Stamina recharge. It’s almost never not a slow start in SoS I’d think, since you have little stamina, little means of replenishing it, basic tools, no animals, and above all else, next to no money. I keep investing in more seeds because they mean more money later, and I've upgraded my rucksack. My next purchase will probably be a chicken for that constant egg money, and although it’d be far better to get all my subsequent chickens from the incubator, I think I’ll break from efficiency and add some visual diversity to my coop by purchasing a brown chicken too. House renovations and such can wait until after I get a cow and a sheep sometime in Summer, and some tool upgrades. IDK when I’ll start putting time and stuff I’d rather sell into wooing my man, and I honestly don’t know who they are, so I’ll butter them all until I do. ...I think I've written enough for now.🥔🥒🥬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it was in original FoMT as well. Told you it had less stuff than BtN. Also the tour was on Spring 2, not 1, anyway. So, hmm, sounds like I suppose I can just stick with the original FoMT, then. Or buy BtN from the PSN if I were to really buy another version of the game.

Armagon Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Alright, so Luciel, The Eternal is capable of destroying a freshly crafted Ares 90, good to know. I've been mostly using it to clear out Tyrant Surveys, particularly in Cauldros so I could get it to 60% and recruit Mia but I decided to test my mettle against Luciel and we'll, yeah. 3 hours ago, lightcosmo said: .

Yeah, honestly, I'd wait for Pioneers of Olive Town at this point. And RF5, obviously but that's not until later. As for Stardew, I don't blame you for not being interested. It's good but I did feel like something was missing. Also the character portraits put me off, I know PC versions can be modded for them to look nicer but I have the game on Switch and I can't do anything about it.

Sooks Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Dang paralogue 17 (the Tiki paralogue) is hArD... but should be really easy when I cut back on my number of pair-ups. F for Gerome and Nah’s romance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Went ahead and crafted an Excavator Skell but one I keep this time because it's the easiest Lv.60 Skell to make. I've named it the Fur Elise and I'm not linking to what song it's named after because everyone here has listened to Fur Elise at least once in their lives. 16 minutes ago, Sooks1016 said: Dang paralogue 17 (the Tiki paralogue) is hArD... but should be really easy when I cut back on my number of pair-ups.

Getting some defence augments for ether, physical, etc is something that makes it hella easier. It does! They did such an amazing job making it feel "supreme"!

I'm not sold on the game's pixel art in general either. And I heard the entire game was made by one man and some say that character writing wasn't exactly his strong suit.

Oh, so if you aren't going in with Topple Resist XX, you literally just lose then?

Now that you point it out, I can see that. I took a page out of JoJo by naming my Skells after musical references and some of the names I picked are used in the series but as far as colors, for this one, I just wanted to use colors I haven't really used all that much.

I don't think you have to spam quick travel, IIRC, flying back and forth over a region's border (as in, fly into Sylvalum, when you see you're labeled as being there, turn around and fly back until you see the location has changed to Cauldros and see what the weather is there, if not the desired weather, fly back into Sylvalum and repeat) works too. Maybe thats faster. Edited November 2, 2020 by Interdimensional Observer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
