dotsdfe 02/25/22 8:42:12 PM #8 | Why is this the go-to response every time anything happens with another nation? Like, does anyone legitimately believe that these students are secret sleeper agents or something? It's really absurd. Especially in this case, because as far as I've seen, a huge portion of Russian citizens are firmly opposed to all of this. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

The Don't Say Gay bill is the exact same thing, and it's just as disgusting as this is. It's incredibly obvious to just about anyone that the endgame here is to re-illegalize gay marriage and to erode LGBT rights as much as humanly possible. Fuck everyone involved in crafting these awful policies, and fuck anyone who supports them. Period. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

dotsdfe 02/22/22 4:41:01 PM #49 | sauceje posted... I complained about this pretty frequently in my LP. It was very jarring when his voice changed between lines in the same dialogue/cutscene. You can tell the other VA's new lines apart also, I presume because they didn't have the same voice director either. And the audio mixing, holy shit it's bad I THINK most of the VAs returned, but had slightly different performances (notably Judith, who sounded way different, but is allegedly the same VA - though that's apparently up for debate and no one is positive in the research that I did). For Yuri, ehhh, there's only so much that they could do. His original VA was Troy Baker, who would probably cost more than the game's entire budget to cast again. Sadly, Grant George was kind of a bad replacement, because Grant's voice is extremely distinctive and sounds nothing like Troy's. I wish they had gone for Matt Mercer instead, but Matt also may have been too expensive since I doubt that they were given a huge budget to add new voicelines to a game that was like a decade old. ...But yeah, some of the audio mixing is awful. Not sure why that's a big thing, but it comes up a lot in secondary versions. Persona 5 Royal had precisely the same issue with new in-battle voicelines being mixed absolutely terribly. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

I just recruited Flynn after Estele has been kidnaped and all Yuri can do is beat him up about it and pour salt on the wound. He's being petty as fuck even when Flynn is trying to right his own wrong. It's something you'd expect from Rita, not from Yuri since he usually tries to cheer people up when they're too hard on themselves. I was being hyperbolic, but the point is that they weren't afraid to be assholes to each other at times. It was refreshing when so many other games in the series follow the ho-hum "Everyone is happy and they get along so well" team trope. I'd also argue that (mid-late game spoilers) --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos. Sometimes. |

dotsdfe 02/20/22 12:08:48 AM #27 | I personally liked Vesperia's group dynamic a lot. It was unique in that a few of them openly hated the others and everyone very clearly had their own different agendas instead of just melding into the group and blindly following it until the end. A lot of JRPGs have characters join and then have their goals perfectly align with the group's and maybe chime in once in a while. ToV did a good job of making it feel like a group of individuals instead of a generic blob unit. I also don't think it has a single outright weak character, unless you count Repede. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos. Sometimes. |

Er, I hate to say it, but that's...really not the best way to experience DR2. The anime is technically a prequel, but it spoils pretty major elements of the game and is meant to be watched after beating it to fill in the gaps left by the game. It was produced a decent bit after DR2 was released and was intended for people who already played the game, since there are several direct DR2 spoilers in it. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

dotsdfe 01/30/22 3:11:04 PM #47 | Kloe_Rinz posted... I've never really heard of this. I'm a fan of good visual novels etc, but I only ever saw it in a sale listen and kinda just skipped over it without really looking at it. What other stories/visual novels would you compare it to? I haven't read anything too niche, but some of the ones I liked were Higurashi/Umineko, Zero Escape, Steins;Gate etc In terms of gameplay, Steins;Gate is probably the closest. (Or Umineko, but I've never played that one) FM is pretty much pure novel with a few choices here and there. For the story and setting, it's a bit different than these, but tonally probably closest to SG as well. It takes itself very seriously and is really mature about its themes. There's not a lot of silly anime humor or anything and it doesn't really go off the rails with goofy sci-fi stuff like ZE can at times. It's a gothic mystery with heavy romance elements that are surprisingly well-written, and some horror elements. That's roughly the most that I can say without heavily spoiling it. I will say that, as someone who really likes VNs, Fata Morgana stood near the very top for me, and that's an opinion that I hear quite a bit. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

dotsdfe 01/23/22 6:33:13 PM #37 | Turbam posted... That's a game I keep seeing pop up, and each time I tell myself I gotta check it out one of these days From my understanding: The Steam version is cheaper and goes on sale, but there's one side story that isn't available on Steam at all. However, it's apparently the worst one by far and doesn't seem super essential, so if you're fine skipping that or watching it in video form, you can get both FM and the good side story on a Steam sale for really cheap. I got the base game on sale for $12.49 on Steam, while the package is $40 on console and doesn't go on sale. The console version comes with both side stories, but it's pricier and I've never seen it go on sale a single time despite watching for it. Personally, if you're just curious about grabbing the main game, I'd get it on a Steam sale for much cheaper. If you think you might want all three stories, one of them isn't on Steam at all, so it might be worth getting the pricier console version in that case. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

It's a fantastic game and one I recommend to anyone who likes a well written and emotional story. My only complaint is that the start is a bit slow but once the story gets going, you're in for something truly special. It also has a superb art style and a phenomenal soundtrack. I'd honestly consider rebuying it physically if it was in stock for reasonable amounts, but as far as I can tell, it's sold out or has its price jacked up everywhere. I got it on Steam on sale, along with Requiem (which I haven't gotten to since my net has been awful for almost a month, what a lovely ISP I have), but sadly Reincarnation isn't available on Steam and I do kind of want to play that as well, and I believe that it's included with the physical editions on consoles. If nothing else, I guess I might end up watching a LP of it, but it's not quite the same, and I'm not positive if I'm willing to drop $40~ to just get it digitally again on consoles strictly for Reincarnation. --- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLC8xwj909sQrer5d8QUnw I make Fire Emblem videos.

From the little Ive gathered it seems like its more of a character driven VN than a plot driven one, is that the case? I prefer the latter, especially if theres a mystery element, but definitely plan to check it out regardless. I'd say both, honestly? I was extremely invested in both the characters and the overarching plot. There are a lot of bigger mysteries to the game, especially if you go in as blind as possible.
