This game. I wanted to like it, but getting all the items in the stages was repetitive as hell, so I ended up getting burned pretty early. The game mechanics were very original, though. I'll be following this.

We can still see the UI pretty well even with the screen dimmed.

HaroldofTheRock posted:1) Generally, I'm a nervous, mushmouthed spaz in real life, so I do apologize if I come off nervous, annoying, or hard to understand or whatever. A LP is really out of my comfort zone, but I do hope I can grow into it. Now that I've had time to watch the videos, everything is coming along nicely, so don't worry about this. You have already gone through most of the battle mechanics (only movement and breaking stuff left, I think?), so next videos should have less infodumps. No breaking the chest, though? That's bad form.

It hasn't been shown but it has been referenced, so I don't think it's a spoiler, but I'll delete if needed. One of the mechanics left to explain is that some kind of units (not our knight) can move when attacking, and then can be substituted by other units in the following rounds. So your first objective in every map is to move your dudes to positions where other kind of dudes with other attack patterns can target random scenery bits.  I'm not sure whether an object that has weapon can hold a key item in a later spawn, but I wouldn't put it past Sting. Sting likes to troll players. Easy mode makes things, well, easier by giving you more rounds to work with, but you end up passing a lot of rounds and fiddling with inventory items waiting for containers to respawn, which is kinda boring. tl;dr: gently caress you for wanting to 100% this.

Could you put some  or otherwise make the video links in each update more noticeable, please? I completely missed your last one and only realised it was there after someone said something about the fairy.

HaroldofTheRock posted:Yeah this is a tough choice for me. Do you think I could do a highlight reel kind of thing, or maybe just show one or two rounds out of a 5 round scene? I don't know how much people want to see me recruit Knight after Knight after Knight for another 40+ scenes, or if it's interesting to hear me plot out the strategy I'll be using before I begin fighting. I definitely want to see how the videos turn out once I get past the heavy mechanics explanations, I think the pace should pick up quite a bit. I'm interested in hearing your strategy at the start of the battle, especially switching knight tipes at appropriate times. I was never good at that. Regarding cutting some stuff, you could skip rounds that inmediatelly go into MP/EXP and leave the others in. I don't think picking up knights at the start of every scene is going to be a huge bother. I went back to the game after watching the last episode. I didn't remember how much of a kick in the nuts Transoul is.

Seconding that the timeline stuff is very useful. Watching the game at LP speed means it's hard to remember when the characters pop up. EDIT: Just watched the latest video. I didn't remember how often (mechanic chat in the spoiler) you'd have to break a container to get ANOTHER key item after they respawn. gently caress you, game.

Yep, that's the look of an evil witch. Anyway, I'm interested in where the story is going. So far it seems standard FF fare, with the Grand Vizier being evil and one of his sidekicks being even worse, but our good guy is already dead, and seemingly without influence over the living. Either we're mere spectators or the final battle is going to be weird-

Now I wonder how Maria is going to work mechanically. She's alive, so maybe she doesn't "dissolve"? Transouling into the living sounds even worse than fusing dead souls together.

HaroldofTheRock posted:What do you guys think? Do these people understand they're dead? What do they understand? My pet theory is that the knights don't know what they're going through until they are recruited. Contact with the wisps may be enough to make them aware of their situation. How the wisp does this is anybody's guess, though.

I like how the game makes you care about the Knights even with barely any screen time. Most of them seem to be OK guys and gals. And now they are dead

Welp, now we have a proper bullet hell. OK, not quite, but it seems we're getting there. Does it get any worse? I hope it gets worse.

This upcoming scene looks pretty complex after the last 2-3 with just Maria and a knight and no stuff to break. Kudos to the game for mixing things up a bit and giving you simpler stuff to do once in a while. And hey, Annalot managed to ask for reinforcements before dying. Horray, I guess

For some reason I lost this thread around chapter 13-14 or so, and was pleasantly surprised when I saw it pop up on the first page of the subforum. Wanted to say that you're doing a great job with a very difficult game, OP.
