New thread!
This week I beat yoshis island and am starting to play this new metroidvania thing I picked up called Wuppo!
Whatcha all playing?
- I tried Star Ocean The Divine Force, up until the port town when they introduced a very anime character (after getting the healer), that I stopped.
- The story didn’t grab me, and while I like how fast the combat and how agile the DUMA are, ultimately the combat feels very simplistic, even with the skill upgrades. It’s really a middling game
- The only other Star Ocean game that I’ve played is Last Hope International, and I really dislike that game, because of Lymle.
- tri-Ace has been insolvent, and it’s sad to see them struggling both financially, and in making good Star Ocean games. Maybe they should have gone back to 2D style to reduce budget, and to rely less on the exaggerated anime character animation style
- Star Ocean 2 remake is coming out, and that HD-2D looks really good, hopefully that would help the dev a bit.
- Replaying the original Wild Arms
- The music is still really good in this game
- The battle still feels very simplistic compared to Final Fantasy
- Story wise, it’s less memorable than others, but there are parts that do feel melancholic
- I found out that Media.Vision has 5 titles in development as in 2022, the last game they co-developed was Valkyria Chronicles 4
- I tried Star Ocean The Divine Force, up until the port town when they introduced a very anime character (after getting the healer), that I stopped.
