apolloooo 09/18/17 11:23:52 AM #3:	FF_Redux posted... I wish it was expanded more though, it feels a bit simple in the end. I do like that you can't really over-level easily which I hate in other RPGs. It is quite simple. Random battle are kinda pointless, but the battle system shine in boss battles where enemies wont die in 2 or 3 hits and they hit hard. You never really get that much overlevelled unless you grind like crazy, but yes, most random battles are pretty much cruise mode, some mini bosses and encounter chests can be interesting. FF_Redux posted... The story at this point isn't that enthralling I guess, there was the mystery of the missing airship, but that got solved. Yeah, the story takes up super slow. All first in the arc of sub series are like this. The first 2 and 3 chapter feels like "villain of the chapter" even though you will be seeing they will start foreshadowing since the start. Gotta loadt that checkov's gun. You will see it is actually quite great when you pass the slog. I think both in cold steel and sky, chapter 3 and 4 is where the mist start to unravel. FF_Redux posted... I'm not sure about the characters either. You will end up be in love with them later. Falcom love to introduce cliche and stereotype, and twist them around. But tbh, most of the supporting character's real development is in the second game. You will see changes, but real growth will happen in the next game. That is the game's biggest flaw so far. Cold steel did much better as an introduction, they do develop as a character, and still have more surprise for the next game. I think the character stay mostly flat for the entire game. I hope you put up with it. FF_Redux posted... The BEST part of the game is the world however. Never in any jRPG have I seen this kind of world, where it feels like a real world. Talking to random NPCs in a town that are nameless and whatnot never gave me anything, I just did it in hope of they might give me something. But now I interact with them and read what they are saying, and it feels like the characters are real in the world. Then there are the books and stuff you could read. The worldbuilding is really one of the best i have seen in videogames ever, even comparable to some books. I love it so much and glad you feel the same. What you see in the first game is just barely scratching the surface. There is alot of layers in the world from mundane things like factions, politics, geography, technology, etc to the more mystical one like the supernatural phenomenon, legends and myths and the fabric of their reality itself. It is truly fascinating. FF_Redux posted... I am enjoying the game, the world is interesting and look forward to see that get explored more, the game-play and battles keep it interesting. I hope for more better character development and less repetitive looking and sounding areas Glad to hear it :) keep me updated of what you think of the game. --- http://i.imgtc.com/iJyp6bF.png http://i.imgtc.com/ZBw36Qh.png Thanks for the peeps that made the pics <3 if i make typos it means i am on phone <cite>apolloooo posted [p:886821521] in Thoughts o...
