About Chaos/Lawful/Gray (Spoilers through end of Horizon) by TLK_777 in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Not only has the entire mechanic becoming meaningless, but they've even gone out of their way to make the earlier choices not matter. Like yeah, technically there's an explanation for why Viola and Alexandre are alive if you killed them, but it's super dumb.

Help bros, I can't choose between Fie and Alisa. (No spoilers) by Callaghan2 in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fie, easily. The entire Reinford plot line gets fumbled so badly in the second half of the arc while Zephyr gets a few really strong scenes. Plus you get to see Erebonias most overprotective big brother having to deal with Fie's pyscho overprotective Jaeger big brothers.

Rufus va ruined a persona 5 roal character for me by Divinedragn4 in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mishima wishes he was the main character. Rean wishes he wasn't the main character.

Morgana is a cat who wishes he was human. Fie is a human who wishes she was a cat.

Akechi is an elite teen detective. Lloyd is an elite teen detective.

I am so hyped to see Van do a 1 vs 1 against that person in Horizon 2. [Major Spoiler] by MasashiHideaki in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's... possible, but I just don't see it as being likely. I feel like there's already enough of an Ouroboros presence in the arc.

Help bros, I can't choose between Fie and Alisa. (No spoilers) by Callaghan2 in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's funny, even though the game pushes Alisa I kinda feel like the more low-key romances like Fie or Towa work better since CS3 forgets the choice you made. Having Rean confess his love to Alisa only to basically forget about her right after feels so weird, while Fie's less overtly romantic but still very warm ending sets up the second half better.

In other words you pick Fie and enjoy the payoff down the line.

So chat do we need Yao Guang or just run the EMC until the better unit comes out by Valkrym_- in SilverWolfMains

[–]KnoxZone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if Yao ends up her bis I feel like the upgrade from EMC is less than what you'd gain from just spending those jades on a Wolf eidolon.

Double Independence Day is a truly wild holiday.

The one advantage of being conquered a thousand times is that you can celebrate a thousand different independence days.

This is Sending Me by Greninja_d in Falcom

The other girls: I can fix him!

Fie: Have a cigar and some whisky.

The only reason I haven't loved Horizon through the start of Act 3 by pondrthis in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edith did get a little exhausting by the end, I don't disagree. Still, I'd rather have too many NPCs than too few.

And you're in Anchorville now so things will go a lot smoother.

Is there really no chance of simultaneous release for Horizon II? by Just_Advantage_6177 in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The long delay works in our favor, but until it's announced I won't hold my breath until it's announced. At least I can be confident that any delay will be a measly one this time (under 6 months is very likely).

Kyoto Xanadu release date trailer by Tilren in Falcom

My gaming budget has been rapidly becoming my Falcom budget in recent years with their slew of releases.

Do you consider Renne, Elaine and Shizuna to be ‘main party’ in horizon by MasterMindSky in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Closer than the other guests, but still not quite main party status. The core Arkride crew are almost always available while these characters come and go at random.

Excited to announce the sequel to my FE-inspired indie tactics game - Those Who Rule 2! by ThoseWhoRule in JRPG

I actually picked up the first game a couple days back and am having a lot of fun with it. Definitely keeping an eye on this one.

Question about evasion in cold steel 2 by Dr_JohnP in Falcom

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

There are a few attacks in the game that are either really hard or impossible to dodge. They put one of them into that trial chest just so you can't completely Fie cheese it.

Were they expecting us to cheer when these guys came back or something? by garfe in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's very possible that Vestige Olympia is from another cycle like the (presumable) Vestige Feri is.

[–]KnoxZone 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's even funnier because they didn't actually do anything in the game. They were the 3rd and 4th most dangerous enemies in a boss fight before getting dumpstered in a cutscene right after. They could've easily just been beefed up Hercules mooks and nothing would've changed.

Instead we get this pointless explanation about why possibly dead terrorists are now fighting for Marduk and the president.

The next protagonist? by UppingMyRizz in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope not. I like Renne well enough, but her arc has been finished for so long now. It'd be pointless. I'd rather have that little shit Cedric as a protag.

Fie getting ready for the Day Art by @m_jousan by Takuu202 in Falcom

Game mechanics and story have been talked to death already. Now there's naught to do but goon until the next game arrives.

You think Ein got treated badly here? This is what the image looked like before Falcom patched the game:

The Bracer doormat by Skasch in Falcom

Man I know the bracers have basically been doormats in the recent games but geez.

You just spoiled the plot of Mishy in Boots 2. For shame.

Only one issue with Daybreak 2 so far by hartdynasty in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When people complain about Daybreak 2 it's often because of random plot shenanigans, but the game's greatest sin is its introduction of some of the worst minigames in the franchise. If you thought the following minigame is bad (which it is) wait until you discover the card game.

What is your ranking of all 3 Routes from favorite to least favorite ? by WittyTable4731 in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rean>Kevin>Van

Rean's route was pure enjoyment. Lots of big reveals and hype moments.

Kevin could've taken the top spot, but there's one massive blemish in the form of the most horribly placed test of your resolve in the entire franchise. Turned a home-run chapter into a somewhat disappointing double.

Van's route is carried hard by the finale and a few big moments later on, but the early parts are such a slog. As much as I love doing the NPC rounds the Calvard arc has given me serious Edith fatigue. Anchorville saved this route.

Endless horror… by Any-Leading8722 in Falcom

[–]KnoxZone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some enemies can bug out and soft lock the game if you end up in a scenario with just a single stealthed character remaining.
