I'll be honest - I can't wait until we actually return to the main plot. I want to know more about The Conqueror, what David's hidden agenda is (or to learn if he even has one - I think he does, but also seems quite honest about his wishes for his land and people, so maybe not), if Rush and Elina will be reunited. Those sidequests are really massive and I can't imagine actually going through them all.

This video is the only thing I've seen of the game for a longest time, but I had never actually analysed it all that much, and my question is (and it'll surely be explained later) just what exactly is The Conqueror? He is known of, so the other lords must have met him already, but that was no mere brute strength, this was actual swordmanship. So he's inhumanly strong and fast in addition to being able to bound Remnants almost at will. Just where did this guy come from? Because as far as I can see - although he's not invincible - he's almost a one-man army, so I think he just wasn't interested in conquering before, because it seems he could've if if he would've. Does he just come around periodically to kill some people and then go away? What does he need all that power for, having already proven himself to be so powerful? I think he's intriguing and I can't want to see more of him. Emma made a brilliant effort, but there was just no way for her to win and I actually like that - it makes the scene that much more powerful and her last stand heroic.

Is it possible not to meet Emmy during your travels, so that this scene is the first you see of her? Also, is there are connection between Valeria Hearts and Vandal Hearts, an other important sword from an RPG, or is it only similarity in names?

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Talking to her is optional, but she can appear in every city except Athlum and Ghor, so you'd have to be willfully ignoring her and her big red bubble. I'm not sure if she disappears if you leave the city without talking to her. I'd have to check that. Ignoring her would at least make the make the scene funny, like with Cait Sith, but what we got is just weak. Personally, I think they either shouldn't have a replacement or didn't make Emmy "Emma the second" - different name would be nice for a start, maybe a different type class? It'd make the change harder from the gameplay perspective, but this "How tragic that Emma is dead, here's her clone" is impressively bad.

My answer to the poll: personally, I think short videos of new arts are better, unless the battle will be super interesting on its own. Also, would you be willing to make a video compilation of moves sometime in the future?

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Do you mean a compilation of the normal moves, or just the special moves? I'd say both, but is someone already made a compilation, I'll wait patiently. I assume normal move is, say, the Quad Strike, and the special is something like the Omnistrike? I've played SaGa games before, so I know how hard it is gain new moves - whatever you scrounge up will suffice, it'll be more than I could get by myself anyway.

How big of a disadvantage would you be putting yourself into by not grinding those materials/not upgrading your allies' weapons? Would it make the game much harder and it expects you to do it?

The most important remnant is friendship and believing in yourself and the power of the heart.

Onmi posted:It's shocking how many poor decisions this game will let you make. It's as it should be, as long as it's actually playable and winnable I don't think the player should be barred from making bad decisions, although it's nice if the game presents what actually affected an outcome.

Finally The Conqueror returns! The Conqueror walks away because Irina has awakened, and he wants her help for something - and since he knows she cares about Rush he's not going to risk permanently losing her potentially willing help. Plus, since he's some kind of a Remnant-related being I wouldn't be surprised if she can exert some kind of influence on him. Also, I hope that whatever boss fights with The Conqueror we'll end up having will all be unwinnable and mostly about surviving or making him bored with the party - barring some bullshit plot-related power downgrade he simply shouldn't be beatable.

It's probably intentional, but so far the game has given an impression that The Conqueror would be at least sympathetic towards Irina, who had probably counted on that and asked him to cease his conquering, but he wasn't interested. It's refreshing, really - he isn't interested in talking, he acts and if you're not in his way, then he doesn't care. Actually, I'd forgotten about that and was counting on his being nice to Irina, too - obviously forgetting his true nature. He still didn't kill her, though, and one would think that that would Rush's "awakening", whatever that is, come about surer, if kicking Irina's rear end was supposed to help achieve that.

booksnake posted:Well, they're called Remnants, so I'd really have to go with "mad science of a past civilization" even if that might be a bit cliche Maybe it's like the old adage about seeking power because you think you deserve it - Remnants offer a solid power boost and there's no check procedure, making of this sword is like creating yourself a nuke in the game's world. Or maybe he's an elitist and doesn't believe that anyone who didn't inherit a Remnant is up to the task.

I hope one of the effects of completing The Fallen sidequest is enemies in the final area and/or the final boss just admitting that they simply can't compete with this level of power and giving up. Or that not doing it would amount to The Conqueror would end up fighting The Fallen and you'd get to watch, that'd be cool. Of course, we shall see.

Onmi posted:Oh, and as an aside, it's now I would like to remind people that the Conqueror was planned to have his own playable story mode. And that the final room in under the Underwalt is visually the mirror of the Sacred Lands It looks like a cradle.
