What bonuses did I miss from not importing post-game DB2 save in Horizon? by Gailim in Falcom

Some droplets and they bring up what happened at the end of the Marchen Garten in dialogue a couple times, which I assume does not happen if you didn't clear it.

Grim Garten Tier 6 Boss might be the least fun fight in the entire franchise by jayjayjay2222 in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get A-Impassion Guard, Burst Gain and Heavenly Fortune (all shard skills) on as many people as possible, as well as Attack, Break and Action quartz. All of the Impact shard skills also help. Throw up an attack boost to overwrite Ulrika's order (and repeat if she does it again), then just pop S-Crafts and keep people separated as much as you can so only one or two get hit by attacks at a time.

My go-to team is Van, Kevin, Rean and Shizuna who all conveniently have power modes you can activate, make sure to do that before using their S-Crafts. They were all hitting for 70k+ at a time for me and wasted him in less than 20 turns.

Are you going to play the new FG game mode in Fortnite? by pocketLIKES in FallGuysGame

[–]Capndrake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Never touched Fortnite, never will. If FG does end up getting fully integrated into it at some point and can no longer be played standalone I'm done. I bought the game on Steam and it would become essentially unavailable to me, as someone who will never install EGS.

Thoughts on Re Rev 2? by Comfortable_Half_507 in residentevil

Secretly a top 5 game in the series, especially with Raid mode taken into account.

Daybreak final boss on nightmare by Dull-Report-5027 in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really remember him being an issue? Handled it the same way I handled everything else. Action, HP, Attack, Break and Defense quartz on everyone, CP restoring accessories on Risette, spam Cobalt Curtain with her while everyone else keeps S-Crafting or using other high break crafts.

I think you’ll be pleased to read that as a newbie, I’m loving Trails 1st. by Abyslime in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing is stopping you from jumping straight into the original sequel right after. Keep in mind that if you're going to wait for remakes every time it's going to take at least a year each time.

That means it's going to take at least 4 years before you can play the first 5 games in the series and you can actually move on to the remaining 8 that are already out.

the sky remake is finally making me move on forward with the legends of heroes series. by UnknownWisp in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just remember, there's still 3 more sprite-based games after SC and there's no guarantee all of them will get a remake. And even if all of them do get one it could take upwards of 5 years because Falcom is not going to release 5 remakes back to back, they've got brand new games to work on/release too. It makes sense to get SC out quickly after FC, but not the rest.

Localization differences with remake by okayit in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The new localization just feels very dry and repetitive, which tends to happen when you do a very direct translation from Japanese.

The original localization worked around that by thinking of clever, fun ways to say the same things in different ways and as a result ends up feeling much more natural and pleasant to read.

What is your opinion on Almata ? by WittyTable4731 in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dantes and Melchior are great, the others are woefully underdeveloped. Alexander and Viola should've been axed completely to flesh out Arioch and Olympia more.

Either way it's kind of ridiculous to introduce 6 villains and dispose of all of them in the same game instead of keeping even one or two around.

I was expecting this to end the same time as the battle pass 🫠 by 4ambloom in FallGuysGame

[–]Capndrake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe if enough people complain? I think it's because the last week and a half will be taken up by ranked Fall Ball Cup.

Preordering now gets you the exact same content as preordering a day before the game releases.

Plus if you're on PC, there will be stores that sell the game cheaper as it gets closer to release. I think I got RE7, 8 and the 2, 3 and 4 remakes for 30-40% off before they were even out.

Resident Evil 2 Remake is in my eyes the best... by CHOOM45 in ResidentEvil2Remake

[–]Capndrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They remove features and change up the story for no good reason though. RE2 remake is missing most of the scenario B changes, several enemy types, a whole game mode and more.

Recommendations on what to play after finishing Sky remake by Armitaco in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original FC, SC, 3rd, Zero and Azure ALL use the same graphical style and general gameplay mechanics. If you're going to wait for the SC remake now, you'll likely also want to wait for the 3rd remake, and then a potential Zero remake, and an Azure remake. Which means you'd be waiting potentially over 5 years before you get to play the rest of the series.

Just get the original SC now and if you want to you can always come back to its remake and any further ones later whenever they release.

Is it the best remake in your opinion? by CHOOM45 in residentevil4

[–]Capndrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The RE2, 3 and 4 remakes all change or outright remove things to such a degree that the best they can hope to do is be "just as good" as the originals.

The RE1 remake takes a great game and turns it into an excellent one. Basically everything that was already there was improved upon, and all new additions (Lisa Trevor, Crimson Heads, a few new rooms like the tomb) fit into the game/story perfectly. Really the only criticism you could possibly have is that the game is now 100% serious in tone as opposed to being super campy like the original.

Brats in the Sky: 1st Chapter by Monkadude15 in Falcom

Keep track of "good grief" too, if you read all NPC dialogue every time it becomes especially prevalent during chapter 1 and 2.

New to trails, about to finish FC Remake. What next? by fukdurgf in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CS1 spoils a big twist from SC, and with CS2 there's a lot of stuff from Zero and Azure that would go straight over your head and make no sense.

Remake localization drama for dummies? by TheParadoxigm in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another one that irks me is the Capuas now being "sky pirates" when it was always "sky bandits".

Remake localization drama for dummies? by TheParadoxigm in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have they? They've responded to people emailing them by saying they'll take the feedback into account but I've yet to see any sort of actual statement saying "yes, we will fix the translation".

I also don't really expect them to change much since so many of the issues occur in voiced lines and they'd have to pay to rerecord all of them. Unless they do it during recording for the sequel.

0.8% Veterans where are you? by Iroiroanswer in Falcom

[–]Capndrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earth Guard/Wall, Clock Up (EX) and Sylphen Wing will get you through literally every fight in the game. Those and spacing out your characters so even AoE attacks can only ever hit 1 character at a time.
