Before starting this is based on not having played the previous game SoS 1
random thoughts includes spoilers
Bold=improvements/glitches ect
other=just thoughts at points in the game
interesting start feels like a blurred line set up going from a future event back to the past to see how a character became like they are :D
also interesting how the skills actually show how much power they have AND what stat effects it! you never see that in newer engines!
was a really bad idea to give a enemy poison this early in the game
losing to the weakest general,nice to have a mc that doesn't start top tier in fact the character that joins you is far more impressive XD
sad flashback
yay explore da town! :D
i really love the enemy counter thing but the respawns i have mixed feelings for particurlay the ambushes
Wafies is a really good character...i can feel the amount coming of her from the dialog and expressions
no random encounters even on the world map! i love it!
wow millys past...was not expecting that at all...just like kanade from shuffle o.o
does magical neckless work? i dont see a new skill or increase in the mystic stat
people would seriously abuse that little girl for no reason to keep there "job"? wth?!
the flashback with Gary and Calina
Wafie.... ; (
that short cut back to arazzia is awesome!
way to turn a sad moment funny,milly think is is doing the dirty :D
no way he would do that as he is now,doubtful even the one in the future which is way different.
those bastards did not trust you??? that is some serious bullshit,i was under the impression as a small town he had a strong good standing and people listened to his words even having multiple witnesses say otherwise and that this general had been gone for quite a while i would not be surprised if he made a deal with the enemy hell i bet that's what happened since he is a lier
Adash(blue haired commander) isn't that the name of zephs father?
that crazy haired guy can be pretty cool it seems
milly getting real jelly of waife! :D the carnival treatment ftw! :D
i wonder if the flowers has any other effect outside that 1 dialog tho
circus was entertaining
omg Wafie! they will pay...
the pixy is nude o.o
Stairs the turtle was a really cool idea! i like the innovation!
wow.....waife was...by...just wow...now Farz is truly just a complete dick....
well something did strike me as odd when he thought she was gonna die soon...but it contradicted his thoughts previous to that so...
when valice stayed in the girls house,in the morning she said mrs should be ms
ice penquin!? didnt see that coming o.o
vice commander i thought he was joking realy tough
the silver haired guys a freaking monster o.o
after getting captured i tried to use the bed and it caused some error with not being able to create steam
i could not recreate this error
tournaments ftw! and get items for winning!? crazy :D
just sad that the dialog with the people don't change after winning
aww cant do more then 3 rounds? : (
i feel REALLY cheesed putting all that effort in that special battle for something that stupid to happen : (
i really hate Adash....and i hope that other character gets whats coming to them for what they did...
why....in the name of w/e you believe in....do you....have to buy...items you earned!?
giving infused armor for the 8th win is unfair,you can buy it in the store!
jelly pounce really needs to be a MT dmg skill its too weak
same with battle 9 mystical tiara not cool!
even after clearing all 10 battles the npcs don't say something else!?
back in the prison after the battle carl is still in his cell,i thought i saw im in the battle didn't he die?
summoners robe is a reward for killing in cave and buyable not good
Wow that ending....even tho i knew a lot of terrible stuff was going to happen that made Farz the way is is in the future
it still just hit me so hard...
Likes
-The characters
-The drama
-Optional bosses
-The mapping
-The rpg character skill set up
-updating store
-passing areas(can skip a major walk to get to other sides of world map)
Dislikes
-The story does not conclude in this game(especially considering the amount of time spent on it)
-Bonus items that are buyable (see thoughts)
-A certain character did not get what was coming to them,at least not yet?
-the key items,usable and gear are not separated into different catagorys tho with this engine i guess that cant be helped?
Overall thoughtsFor those are dont like rpg battles,you will want to avoid this one as grinding is something you will want to do here
even if you ignore the optional stuff not being prepared can make it difficult to impossible to continue the game.
maxing out upgrades and gear when it becomes available is recommended.
the story is about war so death like it should be is common,tho the ranks of the main enemy group were quite interesting we don't get to see them all.
and the worst part story-wise is the end leaves a lot unanswered
which would not be so bad if there was a continuation right now
but theres not so your hit (also made me decide not to do a lets play in which until then i was considering doing a full game playthru)
but if a sequel came out i would DEFIANTLY play it as i want to see how the events end up
Closingif you like or love rpg battles and a good story with drama i
highly recommend this game.
it will give you something to do for 10+ hours
