Wow, harsh.Kou should never have been the protagonist. He is easily the worst main character I encountered. If it werent for his background story and childhood friend...Even the mute Persona protagonists were better.
Wow, harsh.
I'm not as drastic, but I definitely agree that it's not a compelling protagonist. Kou works well as the audience surrogate, but sadly it doesn't have anything else going on. I was fine with it mostly, but the intermission makes a huge deal of Kou's motivation, only to end up as a conclussion that he doesn't have any, and that's okay because it's just who he is, which is bollocks. That's were Kou lost me.
Man, I miss Rean... He had conflict, aspirations, mood swings, hidden truths, failures, a freaking character arc. Even his most banal personality traits, like being nice to everybody and helpful -much like Kou really-, have deep ties to his background and we know exactly why he is the way he is. Kou is just nice and helpful because he's nice and helpful.
Lol, personally I found Kou much better than Rean. (I'm only familiar with CS1 Rean though).Well, that's a great way to ensure that I never play this game, considering how much I hate Rean.
Yeah no, Kou absolutely does have reasons for why he acts the way he does.
That's correct as is. The Kanji in the left are the category names, the names on the right are what level you're at.A tad confused. I've been told to report back when I improve my Wisdom, Courage and Virtue - but on the status page I see Bright, Brave and Kind.
Is this a translation issue?
That Morimaru fangirl shopkeeper from later on in the game is always hilarious.
Should I know them already? I'm mid chapter 7.Yeah no, Kou absolutely does have reasons for why he acts the way he does.
Continue :)
He's better than Rean, though he still fall in in what you can expect from a game like this. Mostly he's just boring, like most of the cast. They are a bunch of anime/LN tropes played super-straight.Well, that's a great way to ensure that I never play this game, considering how much I hate Rean.
Rean is comfortably the worst Falcom protagonist. Kou is far livelier.Well, that's a great way to ensure that I never play this game, considering how much I hate Rean.
I mean synthesis in the blacksmith, I just don't know how it works.What shop are you asking about? One shop will convert an item to its next tier.
These were both such obvious reveals that it's almost insulting they spent so long teasing them. I just finished the chapter in which the second character is revealed, and I'm glad they didn't wait until the very end, so there can at least be some chance for a bit of dramatic irony. I imagine this game will get a sequel, and when it does, I hope there's a serious reconsideration of the story because anyone who's into games or anime enough to be aware of this game and play it could probably have written this plot in their sleep.Is Falcom bad at doing characters with secret identities or are they just fucking with us across multiples games?
Because I figured out Jun and Gorou's deals the moment they dropped the hints.
Well, that's a great way to ensure that I never play this game, considering how much I hate Rean.
This reads like you're not done yet.Finished game. Final boss was a cakewalk thanks to how things played out for me.
6.5/10, would have been an 8 had the ending not been so fucking awful.
Ending spoilers:
True end is total bullshit makes Shiori's death pointless and sucks all the emotional heft the ending had and any lessons taught out. They should have left it at Shiori dying and Kou learning to move on with life like every other character in the game that lost someone to the Eclipse. But I suppose saps desperate for every game to have a happy ending will be happy so w/e.
This reads like you're not done yet.
Get to that After-Story chapter.
Nah, as long as you get all the treasures and boxes, priorize elemental kills and don't let yourself get beat up too much you should be good. You don't need to keep the combo going until the very end, it's sufficient to get it past 100/200 once.Man I keep getting A on first attempt in dungeons now. I have the worst luck of going one direction hoping for the treasure chest but pick wrong then having to back track because I wanna get all the chests and end up losing combo cuz I broke the boxes lol.
Broadsword man is probably my least favorite character so far gameplay wise. Something about this games scoring system seems to prefer speed over slow folks.
You said you found the final boss too easy. It wasn't the final boss.Honestly I don't want to, knowing how dissatisfying the true ending is sucked all desire out of me to touch the rest of the game.

There's an accessory you get for one of Kou's stat level ups that doubles the time until the combo counter resets, which is incredibly useful.
Also, predicting if a path will have you go back again and you should leave some boxes or not is half the fun :P
I got an S on the first time 90% of the time and I was usually pretty thorough.

Also,it was hype as fuck when the insert song kicked in halfway through the True Ending boss
Ok I finished Chapter 1. Did a little exploring and encountered some Sen III advertising lol. Like... what would happen if Professor Towa played these games? This is some Inception shit right here.
Does a higher dungeon grade actually do something?
e: also regarding VVV, what the hell is Towa even doing in this game lol
It gives you more courage in your three stats marked by stars.
They're basically just means to get some reward accessories. Talk to Kou's grandfather for complete info.Got it, thanks. Of course now I have to ask further questions lol. Not sure if those stats were explained and I just missed it. Are they essentially the same as the social stats in Persona?

BTW has anyone playing the PC ver. found any NVidia Inspector settings that can help smooth out the visuals?
Falcom shareholders' meeting loot.
I've only used DSR from 2160p to 1440p, and it seems pretty clean. However, there are still a bit of aliasing on the talking heads inside dialogue boxes. Maybe try 4x TrSSAA + 4xSSAA ? No compatibility bits.
Not all of them, it really depends.
