Me telling them about the time skip piqued their interest actually (although I'm not sure that'll be enough to sell them on it. They will see me playing it a lot, tho, so maybe that will do the trick :P)
The problem is that the game got delayed and it had to compete with SMM2 for attention of the marketing team. It isn't a coincidence that the marketing ramped up after SMM2 released
Of course it is.
Oh yeah, for sure. I actually totally forgot about the fact that it even got delayed in the first place. It makes sense then.
More videos like this but for their western audience
How would you feel about this game if it wasn't for all the famitsu articles?
At this point we would all feel the same, the biggest change in opinions i feel came after the E3 trailer even before that i think the biggest hype moment was the leaks on reddit lol.
Alright, "terrible" was a poor choice of a word but it wasn't the best they could've done. Maybe I'm letting my FE hardcore self do the talking here :P
It certainly helps that NCL has much more freedom than NoE and NoA
Yeah I think this year's E3 trailer is what hyped everyone up on the game.
I'm not the right person to ask this.
This is probably the reason why the most viewed trailers focused on story and setting (mostly) rather than gameplay as some of us would've thought.
That's true but it's just one video after all, The 2 E3 trailers, the direct segment, The welcome to x House videos don't focus on gameplay like that one, i guess the Treehouse segment shows there was enough interest in the premise itself that people wanted to have a deeper look at the game perhaps, Also the mounts are cool so the thumbnail helped lol.
Well AC and DxM are new games, they need more time to explain things than FE
They are new, yes, but 3H still has so many new things and changed mechanics. And I don't think they should disregard new players when releasing the franchise on a home console after more than 10 years.
Quoting myself because I found the answer. I saw someone post the relevant lines of text from the datamine dump, and
Yeah this is why I've decided to do the route I'm most looking forward to last, so I can do ALL the things!
Way closer to Trails of Cold Steel. Persona has lots more finely curated content and less running around between people, plus the calendar isn't as fixed imo.
I literally said that.
Exactly why i didnt like the Persona series
You know that there's quick travel through the map, right? You're not literally running around everywhere?
Ofc, but even with that you're just running between people to get their two lines of dialogue, which are like 'Omg, the sweets today! *Line break* They are good!'. It's like filling out all the NPC dialogue in Trails.
I have a high tolerance for inane nonsense, I'm excited to see how stupid it all turns out
Just checking :P
don't they say things that are relevant to the plot too? Especially after a chapter or big events
It's much much deeper than the Cold Steel stuff, though. Because each character actually has a personality here. Also, you have dialogue options here which influence your relationship with a character. So no, it's nothing like Cold Steel.
That's like 20% of the people you can talk to that'll have a prompt though, and I don't think those really tell you anything about them. Like I said above, I think the actual support conversations are very good, but the monastery stuff feels overwhelmingly like fluff, and there's so much of it.
If the basic flavor text on a week-to-week basic isn't worth reading, I don't think most people will have problems skipping it. Previewers made it sound like what's happening around the monastery meaningfully changes only at the start of each month, so you'd only need to do a full sweep of it once per chapter, right? Or are there a few important things sprinkled in sometimes in the middle of the month along with all the generic dialogue?
Skip the ones you find fluffy. Problem solved. Like yeah, probably the random soldiers idling in the hallways are not going to blow your mind, I agree. But even when it comes to them, the fact that everything is voiced (and the VA is so good) just puts this in a league above Cold Steel.
