https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ7cH0isuTw>We got Tevi 2 before Rabi-Ribi 2Damn.
Do you think they learnt anything?
Is this a new game or an expansion?>>739597875TEVI's problem was always the shoehorned nonsensical unskippable story and all the overdesigned characters who lacked the charm of the og Rabi-Ribi.It seems they have addressed the second point.At least I think all the designs shown in this trailer are not eye raping as some designs of the first game.
>>739598557Its just the dlc which theyve been teasing for a while now. Thank god they arent actually doing another game
>fake rabbit talking to a real rabbit while wearing the fantasy equivalent of blackface
>>739598557Big problem I had with Tevi is just how much easier it was than Rabi-ribi. I also felt the map was less fun to explore but that's whatever.
>>739598657Well that's good, wasn't feeling like paying too much for more TEVI.>>739598730Yeah you can break the game way easier than in RR, mostly cuz they give you too many options and I don't remember bosses scaling with equips on like they do in RR.Gameplay is still pretty good. Sometimes I feel like coming back just to try the arena that wasn't out when I played it.
>>739598830Not even talking about making a strong build, the overall boss design is like 1/8th the quality and difficulty rabi-ribi has.
>>739598726>>fake rabbit talking to a real rabbit while wearing the fantasy equivalent of blackface
>>739596628That must be DLC not Tevi 2.
>>739596628>Those movement options>Those fullscreen tracking beams>Those thread the needle bullet patterns>That OSTFine. I'll play your FAKErabi game
Erina solos everyone in the Teviverse.
>>739600091She did manage to beat a very horny rabbit after all.
>>739596628I hope my wife makes an appearance
>>739597875Why is he talking like he had anything to do with RR
>>739600091She doesn't even need the help of Ribbon to do it.
/v/ told me Tevi sucked and yeah, the first playthrough in story mode railroads you a bit too hard. But the exploration mode where the world is fully open is just as fun as Rabi Ribi. And the combat in Tevi is better although the boss patterns in RR are more fun to dodge. Also the badge randomizer option you can unlock in Tevi is based as fuck. I like both games equally desu, can't wait for this DLC.
>>739596628it's a DLC, not Tevi 2
>>739596628Looks kino, Tevi won.
>>739598557Expansion. The video's description implies it's a follow-up to the game's ending, as Sable has been separated from Tevi and Selia after the final boss.
>>739596628Damn I thought she was lifting her dress in the thumbnail and showing off her panties, my poor coomer brain
I liked Tevi, but nowhere near as much as RaRi.Also, not sure if I feel like doing another playthrough, which I would likely need, for the dlc.
>>739596628I just hope they take in the design philosophy behind Rabi-Ribi (you can go anywhere if you try hard enough!)I also hope they got rid of the fujo story writer. Music ans fluidity of movement were actually on point in TEVI
Realizing that focusing on melee sigils was the least optimal way to play the game left a sour taste in my mouth. I wanted to engage with the more physical combat but you could cheese this game even more than Rabi-Ribi if you focused on shooting sigils. Was so fucking gay
>>739610015>got rid ofConsidering tevi isn't really genma's game I doubt it
RespectfullySilksong mogged
why does no one play their other gameit's great
>>739610587I played it and while I liked the idea, there were so many bullshit moments where it left me with a miserable impression at the end.
>>739610823Except for the difficulty spike near the end I think it's a great game for bullet hell fans.And cute girls are cute
>>739610587but I did Last Command is believe it or not my favorirte among the trioit spoke to me directly as a gamer and I wasn't new to all the meta things. I think it was both corny and clever
>>739597875Looking at the few screenshots of RR2 that use super HD graphix for the terrain that look like absolute ass, nope
>>739611225it's kino
>>739611470forgot to attach pic
>>739611437>super HDIt's just more detailed sprite art
>>739611470>>739611508have you played and or finished the DLC? if not don't open webm rel but it got me soifacing, literally
>>739611574The final boss of the main game filtered me so hard that I still haven’t even finished it. So no, but I’m going to finish it someday.
>>739597875I like both games though but I still want rabi ribi 2 the most
>>739603476>But the exploration mode where the world is fully open is just as fun as Rabi Ribi.I'll have to give it a try at some point. I played through the main game and didn't sour on it or anything but I certainly wasn't interested in playing any further. That probably would alleviate my biggest gripe with the game (should've been an option for it from the beginning, really).
>>739596628cute girlsif this was the cast from the beginning it might've gotten a little more attention
>>739610587I played the demo and it was a visual clusterfuck and had intolerable input delay.
>>739615053The demo is much less polished than the full game, just pirate it and try it. I almost gave up on last command for the same reason back when it was featured in next fest
>>739597875I mean, did normalfags care about Tevi? Not really.
>>739596628>more "art" from commies who can't make artPass
>>739611437So they're making kino?
>>739615710yeah this looks like trash, like that astilbra moviegame slop
>>739616504>astilbraastlibra* still a shit game
>moviegameTotal Retard Death
>>739597875lmao they never learn and keep falling for it again and again
>>739596628Bump for interest.
>>739619057nta but it is in designastlibra has no depth in its gameplay, reminded me of maplestory
>>739620956>no depthi'm getting retard fatigue
>>739621195it's trueyou are posting in a thread of a game that actually has depth in its combat and gameplay design. not the case with astlibra because your moveset barely changesnot saying it's a shit game, I enjoyed it a lot, but compared to rabi ribi or tevi it's like playing maplestory, press spell button for awesome
>>739610587I still keep them around just in case.
>>739621548you don't need a changing moveset for depth
>>739615332They tried to target the RWBY crowd specifically. So not normalfags but I guess you would call them the ironic weebs?
>>739623228>they triedThe writer and artist is an ex rwby creative that hired the RR dev because she liked the gameplay. He took the job on the condition the MC was made to look like a rabbit
>>739596628>after the fiasco tevi was now the retard comes back with Rabi 2>And idiots will eat it upNah fuck you, you lost all the good will with Tevi. Fake animal ears and tranny artstyle pandering.
>>739623430>He took the job on the condition the MC was made to look like a rabbitGigachad moment. I'm glad he has full creative control over Rabi Ribi 2.
>>739596628>RWBYhahahaha HahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>739623595Other devs have done worse so I forgive him.
>>739623634Yup. It's really shitty that people seem to think Tevi was his game when he had no control over it outside of the combat and aforementioned forced Bunning
>>739623867*combat/platforming
>>739623867People just don't do their research. Everything good about Tevi was from the Rabi Ribi devs and all the parts people hate were from the ex-RWBY fag.
>>739623430>The writer and artist is an ex rwby creativethat explains alot, holy fuck
Sick I loved Tevi. I just wish it had better exploration.
>>739596628tranny game
>>739610015I bought the OST specifically for that area's music, Cor Machina.
>>739627706Time to post our favorite tracks?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwQ9TriB1u8
I will post venom before everyone else doeshttps://youtu.be/0wOeCRqS9o4Seriously how did they do it
>>739628162Ulvosa's for me, easily. I still hear it in my head from time to time. I like RR's soundtrack but none of the songs in it really stuck with me after playing the game like TEVI's did.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq5gEJRV_yw
>>739628704Rabi Ribi's OST is amazing too but most of it focuses on fitting the cute vibe of the game while Tevi has a lot more variety and introduces songs with darker tones and heavier synths, guitars, violins. The boss themes in Tevi really make you feel like you're fighting for your life. This shit sounds straight out of Kingdom Hearts.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7XCfHHvXw4
>>739628162I think you hear this one at the start and I believed the OST would be an absolute 10/10 all the way through.https://youtu.be/kKyqgRk9Vng
>>739629478https://youtu.be/gSmSBkLpdYoYour post explains why I love M.R from rabi ribi so much. Miru was my favorite boss fight because it contrasted well with the cute girls doing cute things atmosphere the game had until this point
>>739602286>>739629478Dumb raccoon
Having more story is always better, bawww about gatekeeping the exploration. RR was not fully open either even with the sequence breaks.
>>739633202It is pretty much fully open barring the end game story areas
ETA for Rabi-Ribi 2?
>>739628162Wished this one played in more areas.https://youtu.be/_wVRZAWtHCEThe moan that some ghostly enemies in that area gave really fit the music.
I like how memorable the boss patterns are in Rabi-Ribi yet for TEVI I remember none of the bosses except Lily and Memloch
>>739633202I'm open to more story but not if the story FUCKING SUCKS.Hell, even Rabi Ribi with its """story"""" is better than the story of Tevi, because for starters there are no annoying or ugly characters in Rabi Ribi and since the story is not important in rabi ribi you can simply ignore it, but Tevi shoves that retarded ass plot on you all the fucking time.
>>739597875Is loli cunny Ciccini really that powerful?
Redpill me on this series. I haven't played, or even heard much about Rabi Ribi or Tevi. The music sounds pretry good though.Which should I play? Or which should I play first, I guess?
>>739596628I'm glad that they're giving Tevi's catgirl friend more time under the spotlight this time around.For your typical childhood friend, she appeared like never in that 30h or something game.
>>739634034Rabi Ribi, Tevi can be ignored
>>739634034They're not related in any way so you can play either first.RR is a better game overall, but TEVI's got good gameplay if you're interested in that. Keep in mind that the story sucks so much ass that you're gonna wish you started the game in adventure mode.
>>739634034They're Metroidvanias with combat heavily revolving around dodging bullet hell style attacks. Both are peak, play Rabi Ribi first then Tevi.
The official Twitter account posted this. Guess the demon femboy is coming back, judging by the bat emote.
>>739634734his jp VA made him bearableThinking about it, the voice work in this game was top notch for some reason
>>739634034Play Rabi Ribi, the game is in essence a metroidvania with the twist that it is also a bullet hell, but not a traditional one, since your character won't be floating around.I know that you might recoil at the sight of the words bullet hell, since that is one of the highest skill floor genres out there, but luckily Rabi Ribi is extremely flexible when it comes to difficulty and has difficulty options from gay baby easy mode to literally impossible, I would recommend starting on hard to actually get involved with the boss patterns and mechanics.
>>739634034Rabà first Tevi later to experience the gameplay evolution.
>hour 6 of trying to do SP Saya on BEXi did it on mild difficulty and then saw there is a cheevo for the proper one, this is torture
>>739634034Rabi Ribi is breddy good and is in my opinion the gold standard for open ended/sequence break indie metroidvanias. It's got great music, really fun bosses if you like bullet hell dodging patterns(much like a bullet hell your actual hitbox is a fraction of your sprite), enjoyable exploration and a couple of sequence break hidden moves that make replays feel cool because once the map opens up you can go just about anywhere if you're able to.The downside is that for the first couple of chapters it's fairly linear complete with "plot says I should head to X area" boundaries that force you back. Same with the final areas but those are very obvious points of no return.A personal downside is that I think the character design sucks. I think Tevi's design sucks in a different way but everyone in rabi ribi looks like the type of kawaii uguu anime grill everyone used to make fun of where everyone rooks the same but with a different hair color and they all look stupid and the plot was mega gay.TEVI's the second game by the same developer, but isn't a sequel. Same basic ideas, better combat in my opinion(you get combos and sigils that modify your moves while in RaRi I felt like you had one combo that you spammed when the boss could be placed into hitstun) but exploration is a lot worse because of the aforementioned plot barriers that force you back from an area being more a lot more present. Bosses are pretty cool but I felt that by the end you could very easily walk all over them. I don't recall exact specifics because it's been two years but there was a sigil combo that made lots of lategame bosses really easy up until the final boss.Much like my thoughts on RaRi's plot and character design, they both fucking suck. The plot takes itself way too seriously but is deviant art shit, the character design is awful in the DA way and not even a buff cow girl can salvage it. It looks like fucking shit to put it kindly.
>no teleport before the final area>have to parkour shit while buffs effect run outwhat were they thinking?
bunny must die >>> rabi shitti
>>739634843Sugita as Tevi papa was great.
>>739635690If you use buffs ur gay and didn't beat Irisu.
>>739635595Exploration in Tevi is a lot better in the adventure mode that cuts the story out. Did you know that they purposefully restrict some of the sequence break tricks from RR in Tevi's story mode but Exploration Mode restores them back into the game? Honestly I don't know what they were thinking making story mode so restraining, it gives so many people a bad first impression of the game.
>>739635936>but Exploration Mode restores them back into the game?Wait, even the secret wall kick-jump from Rabi Ribi?If so that's insanely dumb.
>>739635936hard disagree, RR has interesting routes to skip content. In TEVI it's 9/10 times foot dive off of an enemy to reach a ledge
>>739636020Yes, that's the main one I was referring to. You can go get the air dash in Tevi right from the start by using that trick.
>>739635729shitter
>>739635936I dont really mind the format of playing along the story and exploring later, in chapter 2 before going to Ana Tema you can explore a fuckton and discover many new areas, plus the remaining chapter 1 quests.
>>739635595Tevi is not fully by the same dev
>>739635595Your hatred of anime has been noted and discarded
>>739636389Chapter 1 and 2 is the only time the story mode feels really open though. After that, there's usually a very linear set path you go through to progress the plot while occasionally having the option to revisit old areas to find more upgrades with your new abilities. I can't state enough how much Tevi goes from a 6/10 to an 8/10 for me just by playing Exploration Mode, I especially fucking hated those sections where the story mode locks you in a specific area until you beat the boss.
>>739597875>>739598557>>739619217Is there a reason to not acknowledge that the character design and writing were entirely the result of Ein Lee from RWBY who was the co-creator of Tevi and who essentially hired CreSpirit?
>>739623595>>739635595>>739633984Still getting the vibe that Anons aren't even aware that CreSpirit did the gameplay for Tevi which was otherwise entirely a project by Ein Lee of RWBY.It's like getting mad at Cliff Bazinga for Super Mario Bros.
>>739636936I made the second post you quoted and I had no idea this person was related to RWBY until this very thread. Explains a lot to be honest.
>>739637196Also I thought the RWBY guy was freakin dead.
>>739637196knowing is half the battle
>>739637346>extensive industry experience as a concept artist and illustratorhuh
>>739596628Not playing, I will never forgive the bunny ears betrayal. GemaYue's next game is the only salvation that remains for bunny lovers.
>>739637135Still a CreSpirit game, cry about muh writer and rwby all you want.
>>739637604>complaints are solely about the writing/character designs>blatantly obvious that people aren't aware that Crespirit was only brought on for gameplay/programmingNot sure why you're doubling down.
>>739637604Every complaint you and most people have about Tevi is about the stuff Ein Lee contributed and none of the stuff the Crespirit devs contributed though.
>>739628162https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQU44yQvWokhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaazLo9_z4UI hope for more drum'n'bass in Rabi Ribi 2.
>>739637594Well they announced RR2 with real ears this timeBut Erina is covered so you will call it woke anyway
>>739637604kys retard, genuinely
>>739638946Why would u want more generic music over masterpieces like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDMuyaI79BU
>>739637991The art is very good though
>>739639862The in-game portraits are the ones people criticize the most. The CGs and promotional art look noticeably better, I have to wonder if they were done by someone else.
>>739639564She's still cute so I don't mind it but Erina's original design is infinitely superior.
>>739639830>genericI'll bite. RR only has a handful of really solid tracks (Warp Destination being arguably the best of the bunch). Outside of those few, most of the soundtrack sounds pretty generic in the sense that you can slot those same tracks into other similar games and they'd fit. TEVI has banger after banger, and is more impressive sounding overall. The track from the DLC trailer by itself is already better and more replayable than 80% of RR's tracks.
>>739637268He’s been dead for 11 years……
>>739641991today is the day he lives
>>739635594One boss took longer than some of the entire games lmao.Maybe I should buy Tevi but it feels wrong to not finish RR and play its Sequels

>>739596628>TEVI 2>not DLCI was a fool for believing that cliffhanger ending was to set up for future DLC like Rabi-Ribi had.
>>739644376Anon, do a little research instead of blindly believing posts on 4chan.
>>739644492Why is Switch version not getting the DLC on day 1? It was simulrelease and bought it there because I dont support fat corpo jews.

>>739644285>not completedwell to be fair u can do most of them on casual
>>739640067>I have to wonder if they were done by someone else.They were.
>>739640717>most of the soundtrack sounds pretty generic in the sense that you can slot those same tracks into other similar gamesWhat you're actually describing is that the tracks can stand on their own.Tevi focuses way too hard on sound production and instrument variety when the lack of strong melodic hooks and rhythm is what actually makes it feel so much more amateur than RBRB. Once a song stops playing, you can hardly remember what it sounds like. Morose is nice, I like what I've heard of the new song in the trailer, but a lot of the tracks just blend into the ether of a stage or end up like slightly cuter versions of a Daft Punk song.Take a few tracks from Tevi and really compare them to RBRB's, you'll know immediately which of them is going to get your feet tapping, or stuck in your head and hummed. Even if you don't necessarily want it to (the title theme has been burned into my brain)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqs5wPLdwJMhttps://youtu.be/p1Z0ZViIMCUhttps://youtu.be/QfXQeDgjCRohttps://youtu.be/eNACGQV5MKshttps://youtu.be/f42n2crHQDchttps://youtu.be/jG9TTeqDcCchttps://youtu.be/_46fHeXkypQ

>>739645387I've been alternating between 0% casual and BEX, it's an interesting balance.
>>739645793Lee did the event CG too, she is the one and only artist involved in the game. She won.

>>739596628I put in hundreds of hours into RR and was really lloking forward to anything new related to it. Only tried an hour of the Tevi demo and wiped it from my hard driveThe vile calarts art style was just too repugnant and grotesque for me to handle. The music was also trash.
>>739648563>Tevi focuses way too hard on sound production and instrument variety when the lack of strong melodic hooks and rhythm is what actually makes it feel so much more amateur than RBRBThis. Like 80% of the time I'll pick up a game based on my first impressions of the music and sound design, which to me is the most important element of a video game outside the gameplay. I absolutely cannot stand soundtracks that are supposed to be just serviceably background ambience. It's one of the main reasons why the OG Deus Ex is one of my favourite games of all time yet I hated Human Revolution to the point I didn't even bother looking into Mankind Divided. If the music in your game doesn't want to stand out and you're perfectly content with hans zimmer orchestral slop or snorebient your game is garbage.
always funny seeing complete uneducated swines trying to talk about music, doubly so for videogames. KEK
>>739651214I bet you like to listen to orchestraslop while smelling your own farts.
>>739651214oh please, do educate us
>>739649884>0% bexHa, that's funny. No 0% casual and regular BEX. BEX has been pretty comfy so far but I'm dreading the post-game/DLC bosses especially doing their insane modes.
>>739596628>>739597875How come RabiRibi looks better even though it's older

For me is no remorse.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-Hheae8UKM
>>739596628Dogshit game btw
>>739651946The exact moment I lost faith in Tevi and started to deliberately dislike her.
We postan' gusic?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujE1L-ftj1Ucan't for the life of me find the version with the voice samples I hate modern youtube
What a bunch of tasteless faggots ITT. The soundtrack is all made by the same Rabi Ribi composers and it's amazing to hear them expand into different genres and types of music. There's still a lot of songs in Tevi that sound very similar to RR too. I think some of you just take your hateboner for the bad elements and start to unfairly deride every little aspect about the game, even the good ones.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j54Q7xgz8hE
>>739651946This kind of weak gay criticism is the reason TEVI won and is the better game with better DLC as well.
Tevi is the dark souls 2 of the Rabi Ribi universe, aka only faggot contrarians with shit taste like it.
>>739651946I never understood the mental illness behind tevi not being a bunny girl somehow being a problemit's only visual and doesn't affect the gameplay at allthere are many reasons to shit on the game (story, railroaded exploration) but this was always 100% retarded
>>739653365If Tevi was a real bunny the game would improve tenfold.
>>739652263Oh god I thought you were being genuine until I heard that song, what the fuck is that, that's horrible. I've never played Tevi but if you think this is a genuine representative of its music I don't want to hear anymore. This is actually hurting my ears, this is Sonic Chronicles levels of bad composition, just with high quality samples.You are being sarcastic I hope, right?
>>739653564You have no idea what comprises good music. Go back and listen to your K-pop tranny
Rabina Island....home
>>739653564You're trying a little too hard now, my friend.
>>739596628I read TESVI for a second and was slightly confused
>>739653608>>739653679There's no way you can convince me that you're being serious, especially with acting like I'm baiting/trolling.I mean the song is under 5k views even, if this was an actually good song from the game and people liked it surely it'd have more people listening to it right? So I don't even feel like I'm being contrarian and this is some well beloved song. Not to appeal to popularity or anything, even Rabi Ribi's best tracks don't get nearly as many views on Youtube as they should, but at least you can clearly tell which songs are people's favorites.
>>739652292>TEVI wonIn what regard?>better gameThe only thing it does better is combat but even then that's only on the player control end. Rabi-Ribi has much better bosses and a better "scoring" system.>better DLC>when TEVI's isn't even out yetOh okay. You're just retarded.
>>739597875I mean, Tevi was fine, but all game devs need to seriously drop this mindset of "damn our characters were too appealing and sexy last time let's not do that again"
>>739654056You were comparing the song to Sonic Chronicles, you were trolling without question.>>739654173The quote in that image isn't even from a Rabi Ribi dev, it's from some suit who handles marketing and public relations.
>>739654084Rabi Ribi DLC was not Fauna Arcana-scale.
>>739654472>There's a suit behind the people making something like Rabi RibiFucking why?
>>739654472Yeah I'm genuinely saying the song's composition is that bad. I'm not saying the song sounds like it belongs in Sonic Chronicles, nor do I think it's literally as bad in its entirety as Sonic Chronicles, but I can confidently state that if you replaced the samples the Tevi song used with Sonic Chronicles' samples then yes it would be just as bad.
.>>739651946top 10 anime betrayals
>>739651946what's the point of this trope?to piss off furries?to cater to non-furries?to obey laws?
>>739654548>scaleThat's TEVI's problem as a whole. It took me more time just to play through the game once than it did to beat Rabi-Ribi including all post-game bosses and grind out max ranks and even do a second playthrough on a higher difficulty.I played through TEVI once and had zero desire to touch the game again. I had zero desire to to attempt to get a better "score" against the bosses. I still get the urge to play through Rabi-Ribi to this day because it focuses almost entirely on its strengths whereas TEVI feels like a whole lot of bloat. I expect the DLC to be much the same.
it's kind of hard to take seriously the idea that ein lee brought in some political agenda into the game, it's just a different art stye. There are heavily sexualized characters in the game, and in the first place, why would someone like that go to a game like rabi ribi that has designs clearly made with sex as the primary sell, so much so that even the child characters are handled like that?worst part is that people complain so much about the character designs just to ignore that rabi has shit visual quality too, and that tevi is a markedly better looking game in terms of pixel art.I wish if we were to ignore those things people would at least be talking about how the melee focused combat system fundamentally limits the gameplay, but no, we just get this slop
>>739654754it is plot relevant because Tevi just HAS to be a mary sue, chosen one, super magic princess decendant genius human.
>>739654795As usual, simple is just better, and for Rabi Ribi it certainly is better.
>>739654795>limits*distinguishes
>>739654754>writer/artist writes the story in mind with Tevi being a human>GemaYue, our based bunny obsessed Lord, demands that she be a bunny>writer/artist compromises and gives her a fake bunny hat but still keeps her as a human because she already wrote the story that wayIt is what it is. I just think it's a funny meme, I'm surprised people are unironically offended by it.
>>739654795>it's kind of hard to take seriously the idea that ein lee brought in some political agenda into the game, it's just a different art stye.Rabi-Ribi had an entirely female cast. The only males present in the game were otakus who were insignificant to the story and are only present in like 1% of the total gameplay. TEVI on the other hand is full of male characters with many of them very blatantly appealing to faggots/women. Regardless of whether or not you believe there's any political messaging involved this is a stark contrast to Rabi-Ribi and the art/character design is rightfully one of the most criticized aspects of the game.>There are heavily sexualized characters in the game, and in the first place, why would someone like that go to a game like rabi ribi that has designs clearly made with sex as the primary sell, so much so that even the child characters are handled like that?Sex was not the primary sell for Rabi-Ribi. At best you could say it's comparable to "fan service." It was released in 2016 and 10+ years ago it was very common to see far more sexualization in anime games. If you want a game sold on sex appeal look at something like Senran Kagura and try to tell me Rabi-Ribi is anywhere remotely close to as shameless. Peach Beach Splash was released only a year after.>worst part is that people complain so much about the character designs just to ignore that rabi has shit visual quality too, and that tevi is a markedly better looking game in terms of pixel art.Rabi-Ribi's pixel are is sort of weird and some of the animations make very little sense but it's charming and vibrant and I enjoy it as a game far more than TEVI. Graphics do not matter. Clarity does but Rabi-Ribi has zero issues with clarity. If anything it has better clarity than TEVI due to having infinitely simpler backgrounds and environments whereas things in TEVI can get lost in visual noise.
>>739654794I prefer a game with lots of content, less is more or replaying a short game over and over is not my idea of content.
Someone's really trying to stir the pot.
>>739655231It's pretty obvious that there's no political agenda behind any of the character choices. It's just the difference between a game creatively spearheaded by a guy who loves bunnygirls and a game creatively spearheaded by a woman, which is why Tevi has all those fujo pandering male designs in it.
>>739654795>agendaYou wrote all that shit just to miss that people think the character design is worse. It's nothing to do with an agenda they just thinkRabi-Ribi artist > Ein Lee
The reward for annoying rabi faggots was a covered Erina in the sequel, big L. RR2 will take a lot of cues from Tevi like stronger narrative and voice
>>739655450I wonder what Ribbon tastes like.
>>739655731>RR2 will take a lot of cues from Tevi like stronger narrative and voicesGameplay cues sure but the story stuff was all Ein Lee, why would RR2 take any of that? Ein Lee wanted the bigger focus on narrative, she wants to spend the budget hiring all those voice actors.
>>739655151>I'm surprised people are unironically offended by it.It's not so much "offended" as being confused as to why it even needed to be a thing in the first place.>>739655572Even if there was genuinely none surely you can still see the problem with the shift in style and design principle when a vast majority of your playerbase came from a game that was almost purely CGDCT with a no pants allowed rule. That's bound to create friction which is exactly what happened and everybody expected it as soon as the first images of the cast were released.>>739655731>stronger narrative and voice>>739655875>she wants to spend the budget hiring all those voice actors.I genuinely don't even remember voice acting being a thing in TEVI.
>>739655935>I genuinely don't even remember voice acting being a thing in TEVI.The entire game is fully voiced anon. They even got DIO's voice actor to do the demon lord guy, she blew a huge portion of her budget on voice acting.
>>739655731I dunno why you fags feel the need of turning every single thing into a rivalry.
>>739656006>The entire game is fully voiced anon.I'm not doubting it, I just find TEVI to be pretty forgettable as a whole. I still remember some of the bigger story beats but I can't recall any of the bosses, any of the music aside from the Sudden Death remix, a vast majority of the characters/bosses, most of the areas, the voice acting in general, etc. TEVI left no real impression on me whereas I can still remember a ton of very specific things about Rabi-Ribi even though I have a good dozen additional hours of play time in the former.
>>739656013Tevi being better than Rabi caused quite the asshurt, especially because the Rabi fans came uninvited to this Tevi thread.
Tevi has better feeling movementRabi-Ribi has better boss fightsTevi has better common area/encounter designRabi-Ribi has better music
Rabi Ribi is full of bangers, this is a personal favorite of mine.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE0xKVFq4Nw
>>739656507TEVI is exactly what it's supposed to be. An entirely separate project funded by a different entity (person) that simply hired the makers of Rabi-Ribi to emulate the gameplay of the latter.I understand that people inherently want to compare the two games but as to why they are different, it's completely logical and they aren't made to be compared.
>>739656013(you)farming which has intensified with all the 3rd worlders gaining internet access. Engagement with 1st worlders is genuinely more valuable to them then anything they have access to in their home countries.
So how hard is Rabi Ribi and TEVI? Coming from someone who beat the Ori games, Silksong+Hollow Knight+DLC, and both Ender games. Any cheese? not that I used it in those aforementioned games h-heh
>>739658339Rabi Ribi on hard would rip you a new asshole, disclaimer: there are like 5 difficulties harder than hard.Tevi is pretty easy.
>>739658339>Rabi-ribiMain game is very easy although you have a ranking/style system which is engaging enough to max even on lower difficulties. If you haven't been accustoming yourself to the bullet hell nature of the game and your moveset, the post-game and DLC bosses can get tough even on lower difficulties. You have six difficulties btw and the later ones can get very tough. On top of that, most of the end game bosses have extra hard versions you can face.You also have challenge modes, 0% runs, boss rush, and achievements for doing bosses without getting hit (reminder that this game is also a bullet hell).So yeah, it can get very, very difficult if you want it to.
>>7396583395 or so years later and I still can't beat the final boss on hard in Rabi.There wasn't a moment where I felt so humiliated in Tevi, in fact I thought the game was quite easy.>any cheeseRabiRibi bosses scale with badges equipped so some people say that you can cheese most hard bosses by unequipping them. Haven't tried it because I'd rather accept defeat than cheese.
>>739658645>5 or so years later and I still can't beat the final boss on hard in Rabi.Irisu or someone else? because honeslty I can't even tell who is the final boss anymore.
>>739658806Yeah Irisu.>but she's easyI'm a scrub.
>>739658840Irisu's biggest filter is the mid-battle super fuck you debuff she does that applies instadeath alongside a bunch of other shit, if you can survive it then she won't be as bad, also burn all your consumables, I know you have been saving them, it is 100% justified to use them all on her fight.
>>739658339It depends heavily on how well you can grasp typical bullet hell strategies and which difficulty you're playing on.I hate bullet hell games. I've tried a ton of different ones(yes not just Touhou) and I never found enjoyment with any of them. I fucking love Rabi-Ribi though. Coming from someone who went into the game with very little experience actually playing the genre I found the normal difficulty to be an adequate challenge and some of the hardest boss fights be it the final stories bosses or optional post-game bosses took me a 1-2 hours just to barely scrape by and several more hours to reclear with a max rank. Multiply those numbers several times for the various difficulties I replayed the game on.TEVI on the other hand I went into on normal(this was before I had tried Rabi-Ribi on anything higher than the default difficulty) and by the end of the game I was very disappointed. I don't know if it's an easier game overall or if I had simply gotten much better at the genre due to taking on Rabi-Ribi's hardest content but I beat the final boss on the first try. To me if a boss goes down with one attempt it's a bad boss. I want to earn my wins. The most difficult fights in Rabi-Ribi have like 30 minutes worth of unique attack patterns that you'll have to learn before you can beat them. In TEVI it felt like there was far fewer attack variety per boss and the last boss especially was more of a gimmick fight. Maybe this changes on harder difficulties but I haven't played it again to know.
>>739659043I plan to try her fight again soon.Gotta play Cocoa mode after all.
>>739658840>but she's easyHonestly, relative to the rest of the game up to that point, she's really not. It's absurd how much more difficult she is then Noah. and I love it
>>739659196I don't know, Miriam can be an absolute fucking pain in the ass too.
oh, i think i tried Tevi when i was heavy into a metroidvania phase. think i dropped it pretty quick but i don't think it was bad. just kinda boring
>>739658339I feel tevi is TOO strong for the boss, you have so many tools for avoid dmg
>>739659667Not just avoid damage but avoid death at all, I think you can die like 7 or so times in any boss battle before you actually die for real.
bnnuy game
>>739659965Tevi is not a bnnuy, she is fake.
