I hear Wyald is in the game but Grunbeld will be relegated to DLC, if he's in it at all.

If you're going to cut anything, please by all means cut Wyald.

Game looks better than the anime but the gameplay seems a bit dull. The enemies ever do anything ? Or they just stand as big groups around the map to be killed ?

The musou tradition is to have waves of mostly useless chaff to wade through interspersed with the odd specialist (heavy, brawler, archer, etc), usually being led by an officer of some sort, named or generic. In the Warriors games they have dozens of named officers to drop on you which keeps things fresh (to me anyway) between the different mission objectives you'll get. Berserk doesn't have dozens of named adversaries to draw from, so I'm not sure how they'll handle it.

How did Hyrule Warriors pace itself? I haven't played.

The 3d model of the boyfriend knight is one of the worst ones. Whenever they have a shot with his stupid face with the 3d model and not a drawing it's like "oh man, how did they get away with this one."

I really want to know what people's production schedules are like on this show. If everyone is working 80 hour weeks and this is the best they can do then alright, bad luck. If they're putting in 40 and calling it done then I wish I was on this staff. I could animate some half decent shots and fumble with the face rig until it seemed relatively appealing.

It's Japan though so they probably are getting worked half to death and this is really all their schedule allows. It's just bad planning and direction that is allowing the series to look like this.

Probably doesn't hurt that this is the director's first CG series; everything he did before this was 2D animation and it's also mostly cutesy comedy stuff. Which then begs the question of why the gently caress he was chosen as director but :shrug:

Is there only one episode left? If so it kind of figures that they'd even screw up the right point to end it.

Someone mentioned that Grunbeld might be DLC but that's still horseshit. Even if they're ALL DLCs how do you get Wyald in the base but not them?


Well I guess the actual answer is that "nobody would pay for Wyald" but why is he worth including at all then?

Probably costs a lot more for non-humanoid shaped apostles to be playable. I can't think of a Musou game that has you play as anything other than a horse/person.

I suspect they needed Wyald to fill out more content. They need as many army battles as they can get to fill out a musuo game and if Wyald is more than a generic unit then they might as well make him playable

If they include his mad dog knights as an enemy to slaughter than yeah, I don't mind. But isn't this game supposed to end around the Witch arc? Like if they don't get to fight Ganishka as anything but a side boss than I don't mind the Neo Band of the Hawk not being playable characters outside of DLC for the first game. Depends on the price, which knowing this is Koei, is probably going to be loving price gouging as poo poo, isn't it? :(

Supposedly something about the future of the anime in a magazine this month, so maybe Millennium Falcon is happening.

They are still monsters, they're only supposedly "softer" because Griffin is holding their leash and they're being fleshed out as characters a bit more.

I mean, the same thing happened with the slug count, really, and that was way back in the Black Swordsman arc. He was humanized and fleshed out, but in the end he was also a monster. The bit with the arena in our last look at Falconia really showed that the apostles under Griffith haven't changed that much.

That's a pretty common sentiment, but I hear other people insisting that Elfhelm will basically be a Lothlorien. As for me, I well, agree with the common sentiment(elfhlem being flammable and Griffith known for being dramatic with fire). I want that to happen because it's more drama between Griffith/Guts and yet I don't(elfhelm=NICE DAMNIT).

I don't think it'll happen immediately though. I think it'll happen after Casca is cured and the brands are nullified(i think this will happen. Well, hope). Griffith will pay a visit, There'll be a meeting of kind and it'll go from there. Downhill, that is.

The final battle will probably take place in either Elfhelm or Falconia, but Griffith might try to invade Elfhelm before being forced to retreat to Falconia. If most of the apostles die attempting to take Elfhelm that would make it much easier for Guts to confront Griffith directly in his city without having to fight his way through every opponent ever. It would also give us a chance to see how powerful the wizards are and how much Gut's team has strengthened.

Isn't it stated somewhere that the brands make them immune to fate, and therefore the godhand's influence?

As big a bullseye as Elfheim seems to have on it yeah I don't think taking on Wizard Country will be as easy as apostles might imagine.

Whatever happens I think it'd be way more interesting is Elfheim isn't destroyed, either at all or successfully if an attempt ends up being made.

They basically haven't changed at all. Like Zodd, some of them aren't completely bloodthirsty monsters, but the vast majority of them are still only held in check by Griffith. If anything happened to Griffith, Falconia would become a bloodbath, purely due to the apostles no longer having something to hit them on the nose with a newspaper.
