Did you play the demo?
>>726027792Yeah, seemed pretty fun. Running around towns finding new skills and residents from NPCs is going to account for 1/3rd of my eventual playtime. But some shit is just weird and will take a bit to get used to.>MC's Scholar is Fire/Wind/LightWhat the fuck did they mean by this?
Yeah, about 10 hours worth. Started like 4 times. Just waiting for more datamine
>>726028212Scholars' elemental kits vary in the gacha.Cyrus and Osvald have the classic fire/ice/lightning (and they're both overtuned as fuck). You already see Alexia with lighting/dark in the demo too.
>>726028376I meant more along the lines of>MC's traumatic past is seeing his village get maliciously burned to the fucking ground>his personal elements are exactly what he felt and saw as it happened>fire in general, winds fanning the flames (if the quick spread was anything to go by), the blinding light of it burning in the distanceIt's fucked up, man.
>>726028376Donr forget MC that has light, wind...lightning? I forgot.
>>726027792Yes and it was pretty subpar compared to 1 and 2. Self-insert protag was a mistake, as was "muh hundreds of unique (not) characters"
>>726029346I'm sorry but I could not take the village burning scenario seriously with how insanely overwrought it wasEither raise all the death flags at once and then get it over with or blindside you with it and make you sit with it, don't try to do everything at the same time, especially not with the single most predictable opening scenario for JRPGs in history
>>726030494>Self-insert protag was a mistakeThis is what's got me on the fence about it. It's bad enough that your party members are silent during your active character's storyline, but to have a character whose entire role is to sit there all the time as a quiet observer is off-putting.
>>726027792No but I am replaying 1 after years of not playing it and I forgot how fun it was
>>726027792No these games are rather unenjoyable
>>726031671The "main" characters in each of the 8 arcs cover for the narrative, and the writing's generally better than the console games.>>726030869Wishvale was designed for OT0. The gacha literally dumped you in a snowfield after account creation to give you the ring at some point, then you end up in the town of whichever Master of Wealth/Power/Fame arc you decided to select.
>>726031942Because you are a joyless tourist
>>726031671I like it 'cause I can make a dancer tomboy
>>726033648Oh yeah, I should ask. If you choose to make a chick does the childhood friend carpenter become a dude? This seems like that type of game since it's the most obvious "MC and Childhood Friend hooks up" kind of deal. Also she's cute so if somebody had to talk, I'd prefer her.
>>726035497>does the childhood friend carpenter become a dude?Stia doesn't change.
>>726035497The overtones aren't that romantic. Also she lives in the workshop permanently so you can't make her your housewife
>>726035953Great news. Time to replay the demo, then.>>726036314>The overtones aren't that romantic.Fair, but this is only the prologue. It just seems like an easy direction to take things storywise and how I would've bet on it happening if she was gender-locked. With that knowledge, yeah I agree.>Also she lives in the workshop permanently so you can't make her your housewifeThe workshop has two people slots, it still works out if you want it to.
>>726027792No but I'm starting it now. After dinner.
>>726027792yeah, I like it a lot
