I finished Visions of Mana 100 percent today after about a month of playing it on and off for a month. >GameplayHonestly my only complaint was that there really was no need to swap characters out except for certain key battles. >ArtstyleEh, the Chinese had too much influence this time around and made everything too ideal; there were no freaks or weirdos like in all previous titles. Nobuteru YĆ«ki or Shinichi Kameoka should have had full reign. I was honestly shocked when Julei was said to be a sproutling, he was just a kid in a costume not a flower being. I wish it had been like Legend of Mana where everyone was a fucking oddity and not a generic human or furry.>StoryIt was honestly a shittier version of FFX's and that girl dying for good honestly left a shitty taste in my mouth. The story made it seem as though folks could be revived from core stones.
>>3699527Gameplay is almost decent, art is ugly and world building non existent.Mechanics are cool, albeit there are too many jobs.
>>3699531this is honestly the dullest mana world yet.The Chinese fuck up everything they touch.
>>3699894Why did se outsource to the enemy? Lol, lmao even.
>>3700627They are hard pressed for 3D modelers, I didn't think they would let entirety of the art direction be sourced to them.
>>3700627>Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.>Thomas Jefferson
>>3700627Idk they honestly should have outsourced to a US studio.
>>3703573no, they should've outsourced to the japanese
>>3703854I mean obviously, but they are hard pressed for 3D modelers there.
>>3703854mana would work well with some minor western style elements, i can see the appeal to the DnDtuber crowd
>>3704489ew.........no, I meant for like just the 3D modeling and stuff. If anything it needed to to return to it's legend routes with freaks monsters and weirdos. Having everything as either a human or furry was a mistake, there was really outthere stuff in Legend of Mana with very few humans about.>chronically depressed tadpole musician>neckbeard professor who helps you build golems>giant tree dad who helps you grow various forge plants>scammy rabbit/cat salesman>stupid pellican mailperson>lovesick centaur>peguin piratesI mean Visions seemed tencentish and generic in comparison
>>3704489Absolutely not, westerners forgot how to make fun story book fairytale characters. Hell even fucking DISNEY forgot how
