yes I am going to pirate it either way but piracy during your release week gives way more exposure and word of mouth than piracy 2 years later when everyone forgot about your game and it's 90% off.

At best I'd go $50 but hearing how the game is relatively 20 hours with nothing to do after the story turned me off. The demo was fun but it doesn't feel like it should be $60. I don't think square is giving it much promotion either

I can't believe Squeenix ignored this vital lesson by WoolseyGOD.
>Named "Tina Branford" in Japanese media, American playtesters "hated the name Tina, almost to a person!", according to the game's translator Ted Woolsey. For this reason, Woolsey renamed the character "Terra" in the North American English version of the game.
The localizers had one fucking job. Usually I'm not a localization sperg, but this pooch was screwed. Did they not have playtesters? Did nobody come out and say "hey, the name Elliot is too mundane for this wild and crazy fantasy game, maybe you should change it?" Holy shit.

4) a fucking tutorial prompt telling you something you would have figured out by yourself in less than a second

I feel sorry for all the dudes named Elliot. First you have Ellen Page stealing your name to LARP as a small ugly man, then you have this.

Elliot, there's a glowing pressure plate on the floor. You think it does something when you step on it and interact with it?

>>741585739
Sure, I will have a genuine discussion about it. The combat sucks. The entire build system with magacite is superfluous and requires no interaction beyond having it auto-build. The game gives you absolutely nothing difficult enough to make you consider optimizing your build thoughtfully. The narrative is boring wordvomit where all of the characters are cardboard cutouts that suck Elliot's dick wherever he goes. Level and puzzle design is generic as fuck. The time travel gimmick barely changes anything around the world in practice and seems to exist solely to pad out the game by making you run through the same areas and fight the same enemies with a different color filter over it. It is aggressively mediocre in every single way.

Anon, what? You do realize how many different ways to change a weapon there are with the magicite, right? Like, you're whining about a system while also saying you never bothered learning it.
It's not even a matter of "optimizing". Just boomerang alone can go from simple ranged poke to full dps, to control, to defensive tool.
>>741586359
You do know there is a menu option to reduce that, right?
Oh of course you don't, that would require having actually played it.

"Everything is fucking terrible. Overall its mediocre" thats the first clue as to you being a disingenuous faggot who just wants to argue and pretend you are AVGN.
You didn't even play on very hard if you claim its easy, you die in 2 hits.

If you like LTTP gameplay, this offers that with additional weapons. Its basically a generic LTTP.

Look, Elliot is way overpriced and a bit underwhelming, but it's not even nearly as undercooked as Secrets of Grindea. And I backed that one since close to its beginning over a decade and a half ago+. Let's not over exaggerate.

I admit that I thought that this HD2D style looked cool initially when it was a new thing, but now all these games with similar visual style and similar names like >>741586465 notes just blur together in my mind.

You don't need to learn the system because nothing in the game is challenging enough to force you to. I started actually building each weapon until I realized I could easily clear the whole game just ignoring it. There's no actual gameplay incentive to give a shit about the system because the game will never fuck you for ignoring it.

SE has a lot of those. Usually they attatch themselves to their pet game of choice and religiously defend it to the death.

The "gacha" is inconsequential if you actually play through the game and not shitpost after immediately learning of the mechanic. The game gives you appropriately leveled good magicites throughout the story in chests and if your rng is bad which is highly unlikely if you're spending them every few hundred you acquire, youll get them naturally. It adds a flavor to encourage different playstyles depending on what you get early on but you eventually get everything and you are never handicapped regardless

phenomenal argument where you laid out all your points very well in an organized matter, perhaps you are dumber than the brown people you complain about.
Anyway, to be as concise as possible I understand fully that a story can enhance a games experience but it certainly isn’t necessary for a game to be good. Judging a game solely in it story is what a neanderthal journalist or a clown danger reviewer or dev hair would do.

Bruh Why does everyone hate the name Elliot? It's short, pairs with a cool guy, you just wonder how big the name will grow.

Now The "Adventures" sounds stupid, like I can go have adventures every other saturday. They should have named it "THE TALE OF ELLIOT", like Holy shit, this dork gets to have his own fucking tale? Like the Tale of Genji, The Tale of Roland, gotta see his story unfold.

Anyways, Why didn't this release on switch? Even I would have bought it, even for $60 just to support HD2D, but I'm not buying another system for it.

It's such a bad name. It sounds like a creator-made game with a self-insert character. Like Ken's Labyrinth or The Adventures of Chris. It makes the game sound awkward and low-budget.
Maybe it sounds different to Japanese speakers.
The Legend of Zelda works because Zelda is an uncommon, mystical-sounding name. It shouldn't be The Legend of Emily.

This has always been what the discourse around JRPGs about. "My favorite game is the best, everyone who doesn't agree is gay."

The demo wasn't very good. The combat was overly simplistic. Predictable enemies, boring bosses. No actual dungeon puzzles or real platform. Just two basic weapon attacks over and over with some dull modifiers to change how they work.

Not worth the price. Maybe $20.

Triangle Strategy is also rated poorly on Steam for this reason.

In fact, I just opened its store page and this is one of the recent reviews:
>What finally convinced me to stop playing and leave this review was the writing. I was actually kind of enjoying the story until Chapter 6, when the villain puts his plan into motion. There is a scene where he literally turns his back on one of the greatest warriors in the realm that he is attacking to monologue. At any point during his grandiose speech, that character could have ended the game right there by just stabbing him in the back with his spear. He wouldn't have even needed to move from where he was standing to put an end to the whole situation.

It's in the name. Nobody wants to play as a guy named Elliot. Elliot is the name of a side character in a modern setting, like Brian. It doesn't fit in a fantasy setting, and it definitely doesn't fit as a hero's name.

I love 2D-HD shit but the problem with the studio that makes these is that they do not know how to make a compelling story line to fit within the gameplay. I heard this game suffers from Octopath nonsense in that it resets the game multiple times during the narrative to introduce more and more characters.

This studio has a pacing issue.
