I finally finished Chapter 1 of ToCS 2. That was...a very long chapter haha Some quick spoiler thoughts at this point: gently caress those unwinable battles down the stretch, seriously. Despite this I like how they keep adding in more and more enemies and raising the stakes of the civil war. Omfg I loved being able to use Sharon haha, she ruled pretty hard. I love how off the rails this world/overall series has gone since Sky 1. I find it really hilarious. This game is reaal good

Actually, I think you stop running into that mechanic after the intermission. (as in, do x% damage before the battle auto-ends/enemy wipes you with an S-Craft, not enemy is beaten, then LOLs at you and said he was holding back)

Ys8 demo was fine. Felt exactly like Celceta except for the 3rd person camera, which was occasionally obnoxious. Flash Guard/Dodge still aren't interesting mechanics but they're still at least strict enough to feel satisfying to use. It seemed like the other party members still get hit and get ailments while you aren't controlling them, seemed to happen more here than I remember either of the previous two games but I dunno if there are AI settings or not. Probably the biggest issue is that playing it on the big screen on the PS4 makes it incredibly obvious that it's a low budget Vita port. Game does not look good, but at least when you're not in cutscenes its moving fast enough that you don't care. I dunno, that's my takeaway from the demo. More of the exact same thing as Ys7 and Celceta.

SC was a very satisfying conclusion. I do think it was strongest in chapters 1-5, while Estelle was busy growing up in the absence of Joshua. Still not sure what to make of that fuccboi priest, don't trust him. Is there any extra dialogue if you bring him to the final fight? Also, the writing is very Recettearish, particularly in Estelle's comebacks.

I really hope tits the third makes me like Kevin (which, to be fair, is extremely likely to happen because putting you in someone's shoes is a really easy way to establish some sympathy) because I don't think I would much like an entire game of him otherwise.

Shinjobi posted:Rean and Sara can become a thing now, so all doors should now be open to young Schwarzer. Amppelix posted:It already became a thing when I instantly slammed the Sara button whenever one was available in both CS games My people. As much as everything about Rean screams "Needs an older woman to exhaustingly collapse upon", At this point I'm probably rooting for just ignoring it and using the canon option for 3. I started a Suikoden runthroguh but catching with this thread is really making me want to drop it and just do a perfect run of FC since I never actually did that and try to actually beat SC instead of breaking down and crying over all the dialogue branches and conditional dialogue.

Yeah, beating SC would be an excellent idea. I'm currently replaying the game and I'm doing two parallel playthroughs of the first few chapters but even I'm going to accept that I'm not gonna see every single line in the gigantic script that is that monster.

I got up to the Tower dungeon in Celceta and the midboss was enough to tell me the game wasn't going to suddenly get fun, so I just deleted it. What a massive disappointment. Dana is supposed to be better, right?

I can tolerate the party system feeling pointless and the dumb crafting if the bosses are at least up to the standard Felghana and Origin set.

They weren't really that stand out from what I remember. Similar to Celceta in design. One of the things I liked about VIII is that the weapon weaknesses aren't just stronger, they can also Break enemies so that everyone does critical damage to them. And swapping team mates doesn't jet you to their position anymore, it's just right where you're standing which looks weird but makes it much easier to play and swap on the fly seamlessly.

I have no clue what the story actually was because I don't understand Japanese but it didn't seem like he did. Adol does fall off a boat though.

I went back to 7 and gave that a shot. Only at the first boss in the Shrine but it seems a lot better actually. I like that crafting is to get you weapons instead (in addition?) of how it worked in Celceta. Healing items too, so they feel a bit more important here.

Anyone know what the actual chances are of the Ys 8 PS4 story content being added to the Vita version are? No way in hell I can justify getting less story, but yknow, handheld comfort master race. Already bought a few of the avatars for CS, I regret nothing.

Yeah and Kloe used to be "Klose". And archaisms used to be "overmuppets". Not every Japanese term sounds good in English.
