Amazatron Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Well, I really want this to be good, so I'll believe it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pent Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I enjoyed the first demo. I played the hunter on the second demo and the Olde English was really off-putting, but it's not enough to keep me from getting the game. My plan is to buy it from Best Buy and use my Gamer's Club discount while I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyPhatsaqs Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'll spend some time with the second demo before I can really comment. BUT, and I don't know why, I didn't realize this was a full priced game. Was always thinking it was $30. Based on nothing at all lol.

finaljedi Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I played through the opening with Primrose (noble born turned dancer) because I felt like playing a type of character I never usually play. I liked it, preordered from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDean84 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Yup, I can't believe this and Shinning are a few days apart. I'm torn on which I should start first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardAct Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 At first I find myself "Hyped", but honestly I know I wont put the time in if the story doesn't grab me and hang on. I just haven't been grabbed by a JRPG in a long time. I seem to want this game, but I know it's not for me. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure that I should start it. I think I'll just wait until I finish Octopath. I dont want to put a few days into a game, and not remember what i was doing when i return to it.

Biggie Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Early reviews starting to come out. IGN 9.3 Nintendo World 9.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo1518 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Sounds like there isn't an overarching story or meaning for these eight characters to help each other, and the whole game is about 35-40 hours. It sounds really solid gameplay wise, but I really expected the eight individual stories to merge into one important narrative. Individual character stories are fine and all, but the Avengers have to assemble at some point for the really cool shit to go down, so I'm a bit disappointed. Think I gotta pass at $80 Canadian. I'll pick it up one day down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I agreed with the concerns surrounding the missed narrative opportunity. That said, the combat system, graphics style, and sound track still have me excited to play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I haven't delved into the combat much myself, but I'm expecting a situation here where it's like Bravely default except I don't like the visuals... so worse than Bravely Default for me personally. So tired of Square Enix RPGs with shallow, pointless stories. And since I'm extremely put off by the weird art style rather than amazed by it, it doesn't even have that going for me. Is it really so hard for them to hire a few writers to come up with some really killer stories? It seems like every single RPG they've put out in the last decade and a half has had middling nonsense stories no one cares about, and as RPGs that's a huge bummer.

Xbob42 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I enjoyed the demo well enough, but nowhere near enough to justify the price tag. I'll let Gamefly decide when I play it! The prologue demo was at least more interesting to me than the first one, which put me to sleep before the first battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameDadGrant Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Gonna pick up my “Wayfairer’s Edition” box from GameStop later today. Pretty hyped for it.

But it is especially the ones that are just straight up shit, like seahorses, that grind my balls into the dirt. But I don't like ones that are like "Hold on to your race specific body part, boyz!1!!!!1!!!!" The only time it is really fine is if it is done for comedy. Like if the TMNT said "Hold on to your pizza" then that is OK but saying "hold on to your shell" would be dumb. Over all tho, I rather it not happen at all. The game just feels over localized at that point and I don't like it. Just say shit in normal English. BTW, @Xbob42 This is the old English I don't like. This is the biggest example of it. Like, FFS. Start at like 20 seconds if you don't want to wait. I like the song at 20 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music is excellent @Mr.Vic20 It really sets the mood of whatever you’re doing. Played for an hour or so but unfortunately I had to get some sleep. Lol. Let me know what you think of the game.

Keyser_Soze Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Played for an hour or so. I was the hunter chick. Interesting skill that allows her to fight anyone Biggest gripe so far is I wish the switch had a bigger screen and I find the writing a bit too much. Reading the olde English or whatever dialect they are trying to convey is more annoying than charming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I enjoyed the demo well enough, but my history with this type of game leads me to believe that there is a 5% chance I actually get to the end of it, 95% chance I’ll get bored of it after a few hours and never touch it again. So I’ll wait until I can grab it at a deep discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Yeah just added the hunter H’aanit to my party. I don’t mind the old English talking. Lol. I think it’s cute. But I’m a sap for this type of game. I’m really enjoying the game so far. Battles are paced so that you don’t feel like every two steps you’re running into a random battle. Really like exploring and finding how to get the chests in certain paths. Good stuff. The old school RPG vibe is right in my wheel house.
