EclecticTastes posted:Reyna's thing is currently bugged. The battle ends instantly when deal about 1500 damage, and she's supposed to join you at that point, but a scripting error causes the fail state to always occur on turn three, even if the battle ended in your favor. This means you actually only have two turns to do it. As such, here are my tips for getting her without having to massively outlevel her (she's good enough to be worth it, at least): Okay, that's the issue. I didn't know she could be slept either. I basically have that party already, so with some luck I ought to be able to do it.

sorry still thinkin about eiyuden. to where i'm at in the story, there's been like no real stakes. no character deaths, you had a town that got burned down early on but it ended up being fine, they even pretty much say the same about another town that gets overrun (actually three towns/cities have this same plot play out). the characters emotions feel real, but because the game won't show the actual true effect of war, it just doesn't really feel like an actual war. i think that this is where the budget/kickstarter issues really come into play. not that I'm expecting an ff6 world of ruin situation, but like, if rebuilding happens it should take place after a very long process. you escape eltisweiss as it's in flames, and then an hour later you can revisit the city and it looks exactly the same as it did before the fires but with some NPCs going "i guess things are bad now. maybe? idk". the only town that's really significantly changed is werne because they HAD to change layout for a stealth mission the player undergoes. i'm sure that if they didn't have to do that, werne would look unchanged like eltisweiss. e: the war battles, where everything has an almost figurine-and-miniature look, is kind of a representation of how the game treats war in general; very gamified, simplistic, centered around just a few actual confrontations with no other skirmishing. like a child's perspective, which is not helped by the world map being so completely barren and making it look like these countries only have 2 entire cities in them and then maybe a forest or a hill 50 miles away The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 21:01 on May 3, 2024 |

I got Reyna with Nowa, Yusuke, Yuferius, Lam, Isha casting the darkness DoT, and Hakugin. Yuferius and Yusuke charge up first turn, Nowa breaks armor, Isha applies the DoT, Lam and Hakugin do their usual thing. Everyone was around 40ish.

Finished Eiyuden. The aesthetics and character designs are good, and I largely enjoyed the character dialogue. Unfortunately the design philosophy is mired two decades in the past and compares unfavorably to the titles it's trying to replicate. The plot isn't particularly compelling until late in the game, and the villain's motivations aren't explored until literally the last five minutes. Call it a 6 out of 10. I don't expect I'll ever bother to replay it. I'd rather play Suikoden II again. Everything Eiyuden attempted was done better in that title.

One huge problem with Eiyuden is the pacing of the war. In Suikoden II, you get handed Ls left and right for quite a while, sure, but about halfway through, you turn it around, and suddenly you're the ones going on the offensive. Eiyuden basically feels like that first half of Suikoden II right up until the end of the game. The turnaround point should come much earlier, because as it is, it ends up feeling kind of rushed and unsatisfying, like they had an entire second half planned for the game that they had to scrap.

Clarste posted:You should get a refund on your faulty genius tactician. That's the other thing! Melridge is alright, but he's certainly no Silverberg. Aldric keeps praising him and it's like, you outplayed him at basically every possible turn, to the point where he was straight-up defeated, no backup plans, no hidden gambits, just total defeat if not for the Shi'arcs managing a last-second rescue. Melridge, at best, was able to arrange for relatively safe retreats, which ain't exactly up to the standard established by Suikoden. Admittedly, I'm right before the stuff that leads to the big turnaround, working on getting the reward accessories for Eggfoot racing before finishing Castle Harganthia, but I get the impression that things will change less through brilliant tactics and more through various good guys among the villains changing sides.

Eiyuden: The Proving Grounds is grating on me. I like the general idea, but so many variations of the dungeon just leads to some sort of treasure, which is nice I guess, but they all have super long treks to get there and I can't tell which "loop again the long way" is progress or which is treasure which is on par or marginally better than what I already have and can buy

aggghh why did they botch the athabralt battle so much. the kenani betrayal would've been far more effective a story twist if it just happened in the battle itself rather than through a cutscene where the kenani king just gives his whole motivation immediately. the story seems more interested in the concept of pieces moving on the chessboard rather than the actual moving of the pieces. like reading a summary of a war on wikipedia rather than seeing it firsthand

Like, I get the feeling that Athrabalt was originally planned as the halfway point, because, in terms of Suikoden story structure, that's where it would fit. That would have also provided more time for people to show their motivations organically rather than just expositing them right before they do the thing, after having appeared in all of one scene prior to that. It also feels like there was meant to be a lot more to Marisa's story, and that even Markus was probably meant to get a little more time for his character arc to happen rather than suddenly going from "join my zombie army" to "nobody should be forced to be undead" in the span of one dungeon.

So I'm guessing (Eiyuden near-endgame) I can't save Perrielle because I still need to recruit the Griffin but Marisa has hosed off to the undead castle. I even kept a save right before the battle but of course it didn't matter because I failed to talk to the exactly right featureless NPC in a poorly hinted at town. gently caress I don't even want to continue playing now.

Correct. Its real fucken dumb that the two worst telegraphed quests in the entire game are the two time sensitive permanently missable ones.

loving terrific...goddamn game. Now I don't even know what to do with myself I'm so pissed. On top of that: I thought the city of raised roofs was loving Athrabalt because it's the city where the roofs are so high you can't see them. And since there are a bunch of zombies in town I thought I had to beat the undead castle before recruiting the stupid loving Griffin.

Feels Villeneuve posted:i think my conclusion is that ff7:rebirth is like xenoblade 2 where if your game has incredibly cool 3d towns i can gently caress around in while listening to incredibly good music, i will basically stick with it forever This is probably one of the very few specific things Xenoblade 3 is worse than 2 about - it completely lacks 2's really cool cities/towns. There are plot reasons for it, but it's still kind of a shame. My opinion of those games is kind of strange, in that I'd say Xenoblade 3 beats out 2 in almost any specific way you could think of (except the aforementioned cities/towns), but I still like 2 more. There's just something about its "vibes" (primarily music, but a combination of music and environments) that made it more impactful for me. Each area and city just has such a strong "vibe" to it, while I can't really say the same for most of Xenoblade 3 areas. I also think 2 has some phenomenal motifs in its soundtrack (3's combat music is way better, though, but that's less important to me). This reminds me - I need to try emulating 2 at some point. It'd be neat to play it with much better framerate and resolution than the Switch can pull off. Maybe there's some way to cheat myself the couple blades I never managed to get.

babypolis posted:i heard it in adam sesslers voice so mission accomplished Thank you. Also, holy poo poo, Eiyuden Chronicles goes hard in places it absolutely does not need to. If you thought the beigoma sidequest having a goddamn postgame was nuts, apparently if you collect several copies of a single card, it gets a rainbow background (the secret reward cards automatically come with it, since you can only get one copy of those). It's neat, but absolutely more effort than was required for poor man's Triple Triad.

The plays are insane because they are gated beyond a completely unhinted how to recruit npc, a line of more items with equally irritating requirements two of which are past the point of no return with missable characters, and themselves give unique rewards for S ranking. I would not be surprised if a lot of characters had 25% or more of all their spoken lines be their play parts

There’s a lot of minigames/side stories in like every Like A Dragon game, but that said, you’re often not really “meant” to engage with a lot of the minigames more than you want to, which is why they usually put in so many. 0’s just kind of a weird exception as far as gating important/useful stuff behind bowling/baseball/disco and the like, it comes up occasionally, and the more involved Side Stories like Pocket Car Fighter often have wholeass substory chains behind them, but not as much with the minigames going forward. Also if it makes you feel better bowling doesn’t exist in the newer Dragon Engine games.

You can buy Forest Musicians the first time you visit Yarnaan, actually (it may take a bit, and you may need to wait out the 30-minute timer if the Crown of Guile pops first). It's only the Rising script that requires you to be in the endgame.

Hey, so apparently one of the major endgame sequences in Eiyuden is bugged so badly that the scripts just break, and there's not a drat thing you can do about it, especially if you make the mistake of saving at any point during that sequence. So that's about two hours of assorted bullshit around the castle just wiped out, since that's how far back my last autosave is, since it only ever loving autosaves when you leave the world map.
