SAILERIUS'S PROFILE

Dress me up Barbie mode

Aside from the fashion-aspect, what is wrong with the dress-sphere system?

Go!

Bingo. The gameplay in X-2 was extremely good, which just makes the people who rant about how the new games prioritize story over gameplay look ignorant. I despised the story in X-2 and I never got far in the game, but the gameplay was fantastic.

The number of pessimists here is really saddening. FFX, XII, and XIII were fantastic games that I personally loved a lot more than the random encounter-laden grindfests from past generations. Bring on XIII-2, Versus, and Type-Zero. Haters gonna hate.

If you give the player nothing to go off of, then there's nothing to intrigue them or interest them into finding out more.

Thank you for your review, however you have seen just 1% of the game. And some things you wrote are hugely exaggerated or not even true. basically you don't have a slightest picture of the game yet.

But you do have some points that I can work on.

Having played the game myself, I have to say that there's really no exaggeration in the points she raises. I honestly wanted to review the game myself, but the gameplay is so buggy, slow and the story so nonsensical and uninteresting that I couldn't force myself to play any longer. The fact that battles randomly hang and force you to close the game alone makes it a chore to play, to say the least.

Well battles never hang with me, and nobody posted bugs about hat either. You can see the summon gauges with the 9 button. And the spells, yes sometimes it appears 2 times that you have learned something, this is because those are 2 different systems and I need to rewrite both of the systems to fix that which will take me months. So I decided to leave that bug in because its too much work for such a small thing.

The story starts really when you are 20 hours in the game, this is done to keep a mistery in the story. Remember the game is very long so the story needs to be build slow.

Why does the story need to build slowly? The game is long because the story builds slowly. A game should be able to grab the player in the first two hours. How can you demand players endure 20 hours before the game starts getting good? In that time, you could play several other games to completion which are good all the way through.

You really need to work on the pacing. Intentionally padding out the game to make it longer is wasting the player's time.

Congrats, Sailerius. Haven't played this but I always meant to. Now I have much more incentive.

In the meantime, enjoy the petulant sour-grapes backlash. I remember it fondly....

Haha, thanks much. I've got a 20+ hour train ride ahead of me this week, so I'm planning to power through the new MOTW.

You need to either erase the event or change the page of the event.

You can accomplish the latter by setting a switch, say, 4, to the on position when the cutscene ends and then having "Switch 4 ON" as the condition for a second, empty page in the event. Then, when the cutscene gets to the end, it'll flip that switch on, causing it to read from the second (blank) page instead of the first.
