i would say the plot is exactly in line with FFT, as they are both war drama taken seriously

neither are really grimdark

I'm not surprised but I am a little disappointed that Frederica is already getting hit with the "Mary Sue" label in some circles

Anyone who uses this term outside of a fanfic context doesnt know what it means, and even inside of that context it gets thrown around too freely

I actually like what of the story ive seen, but serenoa is kind of boring and i think i like every single side character way better

How many chapters are there? Looking for a general sense of time, not heavy spoilers

I enjoy that every soldier in serenoas army immediately realizes who "maxwell" is and serenoa has to tell them to just go along with it

I only made it past chapter 2 (because man there's a lot of set up and dialogue), but I'm having fun right now. The enemies in battle hit pretty drat hard, but the quicksave is pretty generous so I appreciate that at least.

I know I saw some earlier complaints about Serenoa being boring, and while I agree, I think I'm fine with Serenoa being just a competent, honest rear end dude in a sea of GoT-style schemers. Interested to see where this goes later in the game.

The English VA is... fine, I'm not going to change it to Japanese or anything unless the quality really craters later on. Given the prior roles that a lot of these VAs have been in, this seems like some pretty dire voice direction. Like, there's no way a lot of these lines could have been the best takes from these actors (Serenoa's VA did loving Sylvando from Dragon Quest 11 for christ's sake; that VA can emote better than this). But that's just a minor complaint I have so far.

I was one of those complainers, and im in chapter 9. Serenoas grown on me a lot over the course of the story

Nah Roland is basically Harry or whichever one talked poo poo about the Queen and got cut off or whatever.

Dont know who that is, dont care. Being born into monarchy is enough to deserve death tbh. The taint is given at birth

I've been avoiding info on this game because I don't like spoilers, but what's the general consensus of it?

Like how does it compare to say Fire Emblem?

Tbh its not very similar to fire emblem at all i feel like? Its way more focused on positioning and terrain and individual encounters matter way more then in fire emblem. Like they dont really do maps with 50 enemies like fe (or at least not as ive seen)

I just got the full version and I'm trying to avoid spoilers, so forgive me if this has already been asked, but I've occasionally noticed characters having little side conversations in battles if they end up next to each other. Is this just bonus flavour, or are there any statistical effects at all, like Fire Emblem supports? I've mostly found them by accident so far.

I dont think those matter, but if you use characters more you unlock very support like conversations, altho no mechanical benefits are given

Mild complaints:
Also, wish they'd gone more hog wild on the story recruits. Give me a path where you get medicine from the Hyzants that cures Serona's dad. Or one where you get to recruit the beefy archer high house. Or even the bad guys, like one of the evil albino siblings. The secret recruits they do have are a good start, but why not just go more wild with it..

Giving up the Roselle and going Roland’s route at the end are definitely the most morally reprehensible choices one could make in this game. I will just spoil it for people who refuse to take that route:

Frederica leaves the party. Roland bends the knee to Hyzante and exchanges his title of King for Saint, after Iodore torches Tenebrae for assisting in the illegal salt trade. They attack Aesfrost. I think the first battle is at Twinsgate? Then in the Capitol you fight Gustadolf and defeat him.

Then suddenly Svarog blows up the entire Capitol by firing the Deathsknell at the Aesfrosti blast furnace. The final boss is Svarog where you have to dodge rivers of molten iron. Once he is defeated, Hyzante rules all of Norzelia.

The final scene is Roland and Serenoa walking through the city around Whiteholm commenting on how peaceful the Goddess’s teachings have made everything. They overhear someone talking about a bald prophetess wandering around claiming the goddess’s teaching are false. The people decry her as a blasphemer. The end.


Thanks for this and yeah...i think im good
