like octopath 2 sold more copies than ff7r2, and obviously thats because octopath 2 is on switch and pc too but, i dont know why people are like 'ah this means octopath is dead.' the only possibly interesting thing i could see them having cut is a twewy 3 but i dont think one would have even been greenlit with twewy 2's sales and nomura being busy with kh4.

So vanillaware's 13 sents got a "yeah the gameplay a lil perfunctory but the dialogue rocks", but now vanillaware's unicorn lord gets "yeah the dialogue is a lil perfunctory but the gameplay rocks"?? And i'm supposed to believe it??

honestly if you mean the 'ere' usage there most of the dialog in unicorn overlord isnt even like that. like most of its pretty straightforward it doesnt really do that faux-medieval talk much at all. it sounds a little fantasy but not like, fft psp. and if you mean the character designs, the character designs own.

In UO's case specifically, I feel like they had a big idea about being able to tackle the continent in any order, which necessitated the story being kinda disjointed, but then the gameplay idea didn't work out and they were already halfway through writing it and were stuck. The characters also aren't super involved cause there's like 60 of them, but I feel like they did a good job with them given the limitations that imposes. I genuinely like most of the cast

UO's plot is basically on par with a Fire Emblem game, where the focus is on a bunch of different characters and some mild politics and general heroism. It's not terrible it's just kind of eh and the clear focus was on the gameplay above the plot because they wanted to give you a wide variety of characters. 13 Sentinels is basically a visual novel they stapled a light strategy RPG game to to the point you can go hours without seeing the 'gameplay' once.

Unicorn Overlord has the most visceral Guy Getting Absolutely Steamrolled By A Medieval Knight In Full Charge animations I’ve seen. Something about the timing, sound effects, lead-in voice clip, and just that fraction of a second of animation freezing on the impact is all absolutely polished to perfection.

the dialogue isnt really that dry at all, its not a great story or anything but there's jokes and stuff and a lot of fairly wacky characters. even the mc gets some decent lines. they just picked kinda boring screenshots.

I knew Eiyuden Chronicles was an accurate spiritual successor to PS1 JRPGs when after I went through a mine with minecart puzzles, there was a boss where every turn i was forced to watch a crane turn agonizingly slow to drop a rock on my party every turn, if you hit the switch, the crane turns agonizingly slow in the opposite direction.

And i'm supposed to believe it?? I can only speak for Unicorn Overlord because it rules. As far as I could tell 13 sentinels was sad kids get into to the robot shinji'd with a twist that's even sadder. Overlord is like "what if all those mediocre fire emblems and knocks offs were really fun and good battle systems and auto skip the boring crap nobody wants but we will dutifully include."

My favorite fire emblem knockoff I've played in the past few years is symphony of war, which is basically a combo fire emblem with ogre battle squads and a bunch of different classes you can level up your dudes in and it was a lot of fun The story was generic as poo poo but it did have a big tittied mommy waifu paladin whose endgame power was to grow five times her size and stomp on people so that was something

ive been playing through black mesa. overall the game has been a real treat. the graphic update combined with some streamlining of some rougher edges of the original was very enjoyable. then i got xen and....its too long. its so long. the first level was like an hour straight of jungle platforming and by the end i was so bored. and looking online apparently interloper is like 2-3 hours. xen'd again...

The jungle segment really drags after a while but the gonarch rework is a huge improvement over the original in my opinion.
