SAILERIUS'S PROFILE

Sailerius

Something happened to me last night when I was driving home. I had a couple of miles to go. I looked up and saw a glowing orange object in the sky. It was moving irregularly. Suddenly, there was intense light all around. And when I came to, I was home.

What do you think happened to me?

Forever's End Review

author=Feldschlacht IV
I believe my review made it fairly clear why they got the scores they did.
A zero out of five, out of, the gameplay, for example is pretty clear indicator that you found literally nothing redeemable about it from an objective standpoint. Zilch. Absolutely nothing.

Uh, that's a little hard to swallow.

The gameplay section makes it pretty clear that that's what I got out of the game.

2.5/5 is an average and pretty good game without too many flaws but without being extraordinary
Eeesh, that explains a lot.

What's so unreasonable about giving an average score to an average game?

lol this review. sailerius; are you a troll, a joke, or both? i am leaning toward thinking joke

Care to point out what you disagree with instead of trolling my review comments?

angel rape guy criticizing anyone's writing p funny

I have to comment on one thing though;
There’s not much to say about the characters or tilesets; they’re generic RM2k3 fare and are bland and uninteresting

says the guy who uses NOTHING but exclusively RMXP RTP tiles and charactersets

I agree with most of the points this review brings up. however it is pretty apparent that salierius hasn't played enough shitty RM* games. Forever's End does have it sets of flaws (ALOT of them actually) but giving it 0.5 on a scale of 5 seems pretty ridiculous. Are you saying you would give... "Keyboard Dance" or "Cod: Nazi Zombies" an equal or better score? Or did you just try to even the average score a little bit?
I've played many terrible games but I don't bother to review them because you can't give a 0. I try to be fairly objective in my reviews and minimize how much my opinion factors into it. A 2.5/5 is an average and pretty good game without too many flaws but without being extraordinary. There are extremely few games here that would make the cut.

This. Are you kidding me? I mean if this review has any amount of relativity with the LEAGUES OF OTHER HORRIBLY SHITTY RM games, or freeware games in general, I mean, 0 out of 5 in Gameplay and Writing is definitely unfair to me.
I believe my review made it fairly clear why they got the scores they did.

Maybe I will, and yeah, this review is just by one guy (compared to the legions of good reviews this game DID get, congrats, Nico), but still, it seems overblown.

There's always one, though. Even legendary games has its haters, legit or otherwise.
I don't hate the game. I outlined the experience I had with the game and I tried to explain why I think the score I gave is appropriate for it. What part do you disagree with?

Actually, all these were explained in the game. You just didn't look hard enough. Did you talk to the NPCs in every room per se? And the monster hunter old man did explain about the "Spirit" command.
Admittedly, I didn't talk to many people because of how long it took.

Difficulty is pretty subjective. If you do factor difficulty into the gameplay score, I suggest you think twice. Different games have different target audiences. What if this game is not intended at hardcore gamers but close-to-casual gamers? Would it then be fair to judge gameplay on difficulty?
That's true, but there comes a point when difficulty is so low that you could win every battle with auto-battle. What's the point in even playing if it requires no thought or effort?

And you should never mix lag with gameplay. Lag would fall under another category called "Technical/Bugs", but not under gameplay!
I thought about putting it under experience, but it's such a major factor that I wanted it to be mentioned early on.

Nice. Now I have almost everything. I'm in the new cycle and I already defeated Darxinger and the Archetype Auria and all the enemies in the arena except the last 2 rooms. And I got all the 4 sigils and the new awakening.

I found some bugs. At the beginning of the new cycle you can use the ancient manuscript at the book in the Hall of Legends. If you don't use it it asks you where you want to go and it offers (only) the Mag Mell dungeon as option even if you haven't visited the church yet. You can get the Worldweaver and then go to the church wihout bugs. Just talk after the first dialogue a second time with Laaik. If you use the manuscript it correctly offers the arena and that Yomi thing as option(and probably unlocks the Mag Mell after you have visited the church).

After the visit in Bellemont you need to visit Raphael Island again because of Seri. If you go there and then go straight back to Svaneholm you won't encounter Seri(I think you need to go to the place where Noe was and then go back to the boat to trigger the event). Svaneholm the pier is empty then and the other party members that are usually staying there aren't there. I reload a save earlier and didn't check. Mabye this was intended because of Vel...

Questions: Can you do something with the Excerpts? If you somehow manage to get them all(seems they are random in chests)? Or are they only for reading.

The description of the 'Star Fragment' says 'It might be worth money'. Is there a use for this item or is it really only for selling?

I just saved after meeting Seri on Raphael Island. It now says "Silence (II)". Is there a Silence (I). I don't remember seeing Silence (I). Or can you go searching Vel in Svaneholm first (don't know if this is possible) and not go to Raphael Island and then get Silence (I)?

Good catches and thanks for the report. I'll take care of them in the Complete Edition. Silence (I) is in Act I; it's the segment where you go to Ciel. And you're right, the excerpts are only for reading and the only use for Star Fragments is to sell them.

It seems to also utilize ActionScript, which is a much nicer language

Anyone who says that has never used Actionscript for a nontrivial project before. Actionscript is awful.

Oh. Just noticed I was in the wrong town. I was in Barette not in Bellemont. Seems Bellemont is that new location mentioned in the FAQ which you only can access in a new cycle? Then I should go for the next ending and try getting that sigil when I'm going for the last remaining ending.

Ah, yes. After saving Vel, talk to Ray to unlock the new area and the new ending.

R.I.P. Fragile Hearts- Windows 7 killed it.

I've never had a problem like this with Windows 7. :x Why didn't you keep backups?

A question regarding the chest in East Naven: Was it possible to open this chest in Act II? I think I didn't find a way to open it and it seems you can't go back there in Act III.

No, there was no way to get it. There will be in the Complete Edition, though.

Then about the sigils:
I read one sigil is in Bellemont but I can't find it. Is this in a house or is it outside? The other sigils were in chests and in the houses are no chests. Outside were only 2 chests with random stuff. I already opened of them in the north in Act II.

It's outside and hard to see between the trees. Look around the gate at the south end of town.

As for your suggestion: Good idea, I'll keep that in mind.

I have no interest in this type of game, but if I did like these sorts of games, i would certainly give it 5 out of 5, the graphics are astounding and the gameplay itself is brilliant.

I totally understand that not everyone likes this kind of game. Thanks for the compliments, though!

Played around with it a little. I was disappointed.

Episode One Update 2: Sound bug fixed!

author=NicoB
author=Sailerius
I updated and I'm still having the sound bug.
Seriously? Where did it happen? Was it the sound or music?
I'm in the village after beating the gatekeeper. It was the sound; the music still works.

EDIT: I've also noticed that there seems to be more lag in the village now than there was before updating.
