We begin our adventure with Mercedes proper. And we fight a very familiar foe once again. It's starting to get ridiculous actually. Fairyland Chapter One Also. I downloaded a trial fro Vegas Pro Edit. If you could tell me how the video and audio quality of this episode is in comparison to previous ones that'd really help me make a decision on what to upgrade my editing software to.

Good god, her bowgun sounds more meaty in this video. I could feel it through my subwoofer. Mercedes combat looks fun as hell already. The video also looks brighter and smoother.

I was able to edit the game audio in a way I haven't before. I'm hoping by 'meaty' you mean it's good. Also. We saw her gun in a boss fight before, but controlling it feels really liberating and powerful.

It is a very powerful gun. I really wonder what actually makes it work compared to the melee weapons we've had thus far. But hey! We've got an update. Fairyland Chapter Two

We will be making sure to show off all of the attacks. Since we're playing on Easy there will be a good opportunity near the end of the game to show off all the characters attacks at once.

How does the experience work with defeated enemies? You get either 1 on everything or you can get 80+ on some kills at some point.

The game doesn't actually tell you how much experience you get for the kills. You do get experience for defeating enemies, but it all compiles and shows at the end of the battle. Otherwise you don't know how much each kill is worth. After doing some research I can safely say that no one has the answer to how much a kill is worth towards your experience. I suppose at the end of the day, it doesn't overly matter. Even if you go grinding, you'll just be grinding food instead of kills.

You really should turn up the difficulty and focus the discussion on the game you are playing. Firstly, it gets repetitive to watch the same effortless routine of: mash button -> defeat enemies that seem like chumps and bosses that hardly even attack before getting steamrolled. Secondly, I'm watching your videos because I'm interested in the game, not your life in general. You could expand on the topic of game mechanics for example. The parts where you look up parts of Norse mythology or how the different storylines touch are good.

Thanks for watching thus far! We'll be keeping the difficulty at what it is. The point of this LP isn't really to show off the difficulty of the game, which it can be extremely hard. It's about having fun with it. We enjoy going in and steam rolling the enemies. All increasing the difficulty will do will make it take longer to get through the fights in general. Scalding Coffee posted:The difficulty change was needed. The other thread can show off the harder stuff while still keeping the eating and defeating ratio balanced. Scalding Coffee put it really nicely a little while ago. As for game mechanics. The mechanics themselves have been discussed in full. Unless we reiterate how the food mechanics work, how fighting works, how traversing the world works, how the leveling system works. By the time you finish Gwendolyn's story, everything is pretty well talked about. The next stories are just about the next characters. Sadly, no one brings anything new to the table aside from Mercedes which we've discussed the changes. If you would like to see more of the mythology, I suggest looking at the eating videos. I take them solo and do a bit of research and really pull my thoughts together once the book is over. I'm not really an expert on any Mythology, so I don't know what to look up at any given time. When something stands out to me I look it up. A good example is the Eye of Balor mentioned earlier in the thread. That was a cool little tidbit that I can go into on the next eating video. We could talk a lot more about the game, and I will try to keep us focused in the future, since we do have quite a bit of game left. But until we can talk overall, the little chapter to chapter story doesn't leave a whole lot to mention. A 2 minute cutscene followed by 30 minutes of beating up enemies. I said we'd be keeping this thread casual, so we will be filling the downtime with what we can. Which will probably continue being how it has been. If anyone else has any concerns just let us know~

raptus posted:You really should turn up the difficulty and focus the discussion on the game you are playing. Michael put this nicely but I'm not so nice. It's good that you have an opinion but how you form your opinion to others sucks rear end. Perhaps next time you could form your opinion as a question to us instead of demanding or saying we 'should' do something. Example: "I'm watching your Odin Sphere videos and love how your doing the game. I just want to suggest some changes that you may or may not wish to consider to improve your lets playing." Firstly, this is a casual lets play where my husband and I discuss the game when needed and talk about our lives the rest of the time. Surprise surprise we are human. Secondly, it's nice that you are watching our videos for the game and that is the point of a lets play but we have discussed the mechanics and the story as much as possible without spoiling future plots. Thirdly, we did have the difficulty higher. We had it on normal and it started to get too repetitive to have to try and get through the same monsters so we turned it down to get more to the story driven parts of the game. We appreciate peoples inputs about how to improve our channel. From how to improve sound and video quality, etc. Our videos and channel are about us though playing games together and getting to share our love of those games with everyone else. If you came to our lets play for Odin sphere to be just informative then you came to the wrong people. So thank you for your input but we will be keeping the difficulty as is and our format as is. If this is a problem for you I suggest you look at a different thread. Such as Highwangs lets play. You can find that here

I am liking how her shots are from various shmups. That sliding move into a volley turned those fire spirits into items. That looks like an abusable skill.

I've never been really good with shmups. But that is definitely what I think they're taking from with Mercedes attacks. A lot of her moves can combo really well. Once you get good with her in this version, they levels can be a cake walk.

Nice to see another attack we won't see until the next video. Those messages on using alchemy sure are annoying. One after another for the boss. edit: I imagine Odin in disguise as a 15ft tall boy hunched over and holding a mop, wiping the floors. He also has a long beard he dyed.

If he was in disguise in his own kingdom I could see it. We know Brigan is giant as well so at least there is some idea that people can get huge. But we haven't seen that in any other Kingdom. Imagine a line up of servants, and at the end is one guy that's 3 times the size of everyone else. It just, I don't know how no one would notice.

The only answer I can really give is that we're very forgetful. It is a good point though. Can get some nice extra points doing that. Pro strat. We are not pro strat. You may be expecting too much from us.

Welcome to another episode of, "it's been three months since we recorded and I already completely forgot what we had done last time and make a total fool of myself in the video." Honestly though, after you stop Melvin's take over, Mercedes story starts becoming rather forgettable. It may have been better to make the coup arc of it last one chapter longer.

It has become a complete running joke in the LP that we didn't intend and I had no idea would even become a thing. What other game constantly re-tells you the controls after you were gone for a few months?

I had something like the game giving me the tutorial hint to use a Shine potion or whatever when fighting the (sort of) final boss. No, it wasn't a dark area.

If that was actually the case I would totally be on board with constant shines. But they are probably the most useless of the potions simply because it's only really useful in set areas.

They couldn't stop handing out Ruewort. 5k XP a pop while Gwendolyn had to deal with inferior grapes for levels. The fact that our country had millions of people nationwide protesting Democracy and Free Speech when Donald Trump got elected and later, those same people deciding that grown men wearing vaginas on their head and screaming to be taken seriously, is reason enough that the country deserved someone like President Trump.

A lot has happened in Politics lately. Even here in Canada. And, I'm not going to take much stance in the thread. But I will say that I wouldn't not move to Ragnanival in light of recent events. Also. I just finished editing the video together for Mercedes' eating video, and it may be the longest yet. Kind of interesting to see the change in the amount of time eating between each character.

Update Time So now we move onto the next book, and the next character. In a similar way to Mercedes, our new 'hero' is letting us take a look at a different side to part of the story we've already seen. But don't think this means we won't be seeing new things. A lot happened that you didn't know about. The Black Sword Prelude

Maybe the reason why the earlier users died was because they were elves. They might have lucked out with the bowgun, but all the other users didn't have trouble with their weapons.

Perhaps that is the case. It's hard to tell in this world sometimes. Maybe some weapons are just meant for certain individuals.

I have to say. The amount of power Oswald makes you feel like you have is pretty amazing. Also, it's nice to know a bunch of the Valkyrie were slaughtered for reasons other than Odin sending them to their death. It's really just a bad time for all of them. The Black Sword Chapter One Let's be honest, who else is getting tired of the airship mini boss? It'd be nice if there was some personality put behind it. Like you see all the dwarves scrambling to get to it or something. But it's just there and is kind of annoying.

The dwarves do stuff with the boss, it is just difficult to do much when someone is flailing around with a soul-stealing weapon and you carry explosives as protection. This is one of the few LPs that does something good with food. The only other thing I can think of is challenging goons to eat uncooked or disgusting creations.

I mean. I wouldn't necessarily say what I made us as not disgusting. But I get what you're saying. Glad we've done something good for this series! Also. The dwarves really should change up their artillery. It doesn't seem to be doing too good for them.
