Even the comparison to FFVI has misinterpreted. The producer was referring more the gameplay of VI (specialized party members with partial customization available) as a contrast to how the Bravely games adapted FFV's job system.
ok now I'm confused, I've not been following the thread too closely but from what I gathered I thought people were complaining that the party never talked with each other, which I get, but given those screenshots that clearly isn't the case. So what exactly were people upset about? the party not commenting on things in the over world itself?
The disconnect is that when you do the main quest for any given character, there is no party interaction. The cutscenes exclude all other party members and talking to npcs doesn't logically reflect who is in the party. Party chats are separate as are using multiple path actions to complete side quests.
Your game looks cool; I'll have to check it out. Promise I won't take to an internet message board to complain that it's not similar enough to Chrono Trigger.
I don't need to know specific details on this stuff, so I'm not reading the link, but it is nice to know that the chats can have more than two characters.
Doesn't have to be unique dialogue for different combinations though. That would be the ideal, but not very important. Could just be having extra lines from characters if they are in the party during a cutscene, and having NPCs who should recognize another character in the party mention that instead of talking about that character in third person as if they aren't there. That sort of stuff sticks out.
I actually hated the game for the first 20 hours and then it just clicked and i've been addicted since.
I think it was around that mark and i had to watch a couple of Youtube tutorials to understand everything
Him reviewing it is fine. I think people give him shit for this because he couldn't resist engaging in every other XB and XB2 thread in a passive aggressive manner, implying his opinion was more impartial and not blinded by hype or fanboyism or whatever. That's what gets people ticked off.
Having opinion is one thing, calling something trash or garbage is another.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I did wonder if maybe it's slightly sub native in handheld mode because at times it looked a bit too blurry... Maybe it's dynamic? I mean one would assume the game is too simple to struggle, but it's Unreal 4 so who knows.
Surely none of us has ever referred to any game as such, huh... Come on, this is a public forum, we're not giving talks at GDC.
Yeah, I've heard the postprocessing is quite aggressive. I don't notice such stuff much myself, though.
OT's frequently go up a day or more before release.
