[ clair obscur: e33 ] ahh they got me (i beat it so... spoilers)
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
I LOVE THE COMBAT IN THIS GAME
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
also i can't believe they killed french rpatz to replace him with french jon snow
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
THERE WAS ONE MAN IN THIS GAME BESIDES TOXIC OLD DUDE AND THEY REPLACED HIM IT'S SO FUNNY
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
lune has been my pov character this whole time because my girl can levitate
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
also she's hot
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
sciel is probably my second favourite character but my favourite to use in combat
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
verso is more fun to play in combat than gustave though rip my guy bUT HE WAS SO ENDEARING WITH HIS LITTLE EXPRESSIONS genuinely did not see that coming
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
what is this story??? no idea yet
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
are they inside a painting
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
also every time i'm like "french game can't be more french" they add one more accordion
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the lack of a map is my biggest gripe but i also 100% understand why
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i am SO BAD at the big guys in the forgotten battlefield
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the addition of gradient parries or whatever has me all twitchy lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
they feel very good though when they land lmao
PROFESSOR
they're suuuuper important to learn lol because if you don't do them right you can easily die
PROFESSOR
I am the WORST at parrying so it took me FOREVER
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
PROFESSOR : yeah it's forcing me to actually learn now because i was content to just dodge but THAT'S FINE
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i trained for this (i played elden ring)
PROFESSOR
I was in the same exact boat
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i know a roll catch when i see one lmao
PROFESSOR
eventually I DID get it lol
PROFESSOR
but I died a few times first
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
this game has been really good about telegraphing things at least
ƒιιɴᴅιsʜ
I have a love/hate relationship with the combat.
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
it sits in a nice place for me because i'm a fan of the old turn based final fantasy games and also fromsoft games lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i like fromsoft games but i am terrible at them because it's a lot of information for me to take in at once and react to but this being turn based means i get the fun of the dodge events
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
without all the WHAT IS HAPPENING
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
my favourite enemies to fight are the big sword ladies that stab themselves and then swing at you three times
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
so much fun
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
also the resource management in this game is so nice i hate dealing with items in games a lot of the time
PROFESSOR
I have a hate-hate relationship with the combat because I am truly terrible at it, but I loved the game so much it ended up fine in the end. Just all about learning response times. It helped once I realized that AUDIO clues were more helpful than visual
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
YES the sound does help
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
those enemies around the gestral village that were like tents with catapults on them or ??? hard to tell tbh lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
but they stab you
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
and i had to dodge based on the knife sound
PROFESSOR
yeah once someone told me the audio helps, I really turned everything around.
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the environments in this game are incredible
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i know colour is a theme in this game but also the way it's used is so nice
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the game design student in me is like hell yeah
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
YOOOO I HAD TO PERFECT DODGE THAT BOSS because all its attacks apply burn and then the burn heals...
i died to it once but i'm proud of learning all the cues...
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
HOLY SHIT THE DUALLISTE WHAT A FIGHT WHAT AN ENTRANCE
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i'm that lady gaga gif rn
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
oh my god lmao i love monoco
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
him and verso are excellent
PROFESSOR
Monoco is my favorite
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
as of right now i am at "we can take down the barrier"
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
it's very "we have the airship" before heading to the boss
but i feel like there must be a lot of game left because we're still in act 2???
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
and i should probably go level maelle a bit since she has the strongest weapon in the party but i haven't been using her since they forced verso in to teach gradient parries
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i went to do some of the friendly nevron quests i haven't done
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
also i chose sciel for romance and IT'S VERY CUTE
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i love lune but i loved verso's banter with sciel it's sweet
PROFESSOR
I will say Act 3 is shorter than the other two significantly! But you do still have a lot left to do yy :-D
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
PROFESSOR : OH GOOD THANKS
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
part of me wants to knock it out fast because i want to Know Things and the rest of me is like NO I WANT MORE
PROFESSOR
I'll admit I hurried through the whole game and probably missed a lot of things lol. I did circle around on Youtube and looked up cutscenes of everything I missed though haha.
PROFESSOR
But once I got started I just had to KNOW
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
finished act 2......
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
augh my feelings i have so many
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
so many reveals
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
some things i suspected and other things i didn't see coming at all
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
I LOVE FAMILY DRAMA
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
me continuing to look at renoir like LOL I'M IN DANGER
PROFESSOR
lots of feelings!
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
things i didn't expect to see: drum and bass remixes by actual drum and bass artists i like
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
getting ready to head for the final mission stuff tonight
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i killed some side bosses and got everyone's social link stuff maxed out
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the sciel + esquie scene took me out
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the reacher had some of my favourite music in the game
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the reacher had some of my favourite music in the game
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the serpenphare might be the most annoying boss ever
and if i wants to spend 4 hours chip damaging it to death i probably could but that's so tiring lol
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
GOT SERPENPHARE DOWN
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
when you actually figure that fight out it's pretty fun
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i don't usually do like optional bosses but this game has challenges that are creative so i'm willing to give it a shot
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
also like i'm impressed by how many times it's been like
ok this problem? we gave you a picto for that you just don't use it
and then i use it and it's like
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
oh that's what that does
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
it's good game design??? idk
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
usually rpgs let me do one dumb thing the entire game and punish me severely late in the game forcing me to backtrack 2 hours to get something i didn't know would be required once and never again
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i was mad that i had to swap a bunch of pictos and reassign some luminas and then i went to swap it back and was like
wait no actually this is better??? becaues all that AP generation is really good actually when something isn't sucking it out every turn
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
although i do like to have anti-blight up at all times so i might have to fuck around with that a little more
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
updated the top level since i beat it.....
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i feel like the endings hit different depending on how you feel about family lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i watched verso's ending on youtube since i didn't have the patience to play it twice
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i understand why he did it and weirdly his ending makes me like his entire character even more even though his ending makes me SO ANGRY
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
art making me feel stuff
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
also lune's face is haunting
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i saw a theory about how real verso betrayed everyone and caused the problem since they never really elaborate on the war because "art imitates life" and painted verso betrays you several times lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
put him in the pear wiggler
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
>he's pathetic and endearing
>it's all lies and he did the worst possible thing under these particular circumstances
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
BUT ALSO I GET IT like MAN the complexities
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
it's the good shit
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
time to sleep on this
