That sure was an ending. Thanks for doing this LP! Don't think I'm interested in getting this game, but it was nice to check it out.

Thanks for all the LPs! They've always been entertaining, even when (especially when?) the games themselves had issues.

It's kind of a shame you went out on this game since it's neither particularly good, bad, nor crazy. Luckily you can make anything entertaining.  See you, LP cowboy...

Mm. Dark ID made this game reasonably interesting by his added dialogue. Not just because it was amusing, but because it actually gave the characters personalities and poo poo. If someone edited IAS to include it, it would be a less bland game. Anyhow, thanks for all the work. Archive binging and paywall dodging your stuff was why I joined this site.

W.T. Fits posted:You know that Metal Gear Solid 3 parody comic, "Let's Destroy the Shagohod!" and how at the very end, it spends the entirety of the Boss's death scene pointing out that it's a sad scene and that you should feel sad as a joke? This game felt like it was trying to do that throughout the whole story, but played straight instead of for comedy. From what I recall hearing, this was basically half of their design document; the other half being shoehorned references, of course.

You know, I have to hand it to I Am Setsuna. Putting aside the issue of the game's quality completely, when you see a JRPG with a theme like sacrifice you just sort of assume the power of friendship is going to make things work out in the end. I appreciate that it didn't back down and actually let characters die and have things not be a super happy finale. It doesn't seem perfect by a long shot, but I don't think you can accuse the people behind it of not caring. They clearly had some passion, even if it did have some bone-headed moves here and there. Thanks for a great LP, Id! Weather or not you do anything in the future, it's be real fun. Chrono Cross and FF10 are some of my favorite threads I've seen in the subforum.

To be honest this might have been true 20 years ago but these days it's anything but. As pointed out this game cribs a lot from FFX and the ending is part of it. That's part of why it's hard to give them credit. It's not really daring when the game you're homaging the hell out of does the same thing.

I think what bugs me the most about that ending is if the game even tried to show things like character development for the main characters then that ending would have actually been pretty good. Anyway thank you so much for the LP as you managed to make something that was just various shades of bland into something really enjoyable.

it was vaguely tragic in that setsuna was so fixated on dying dramatically that she made it happen even after it stopped being necessary

chiasaur11 posted:Obviously, by making peace with her shadow, the true self, Setsuna earned a persona. Dark Samsara actually does kinda sound like a Persona...probably one of the gimmicky as all hell ones, with a fair number of instant death spells (Mudu, Expel, Death Road, etc). Maybe the ending was so dumb because Endir reversed all his social links by refusing to suck up to all of Land Of Snow's worthless residents? Especially Kir. ..who, come to think of it, Endir could probably save by heading to his village and helping his brother, as Endir must have a better chance of finding some way to prolong the lives of Kir's people than Kir himself. Too bad Kir decided to be so aggressively useless instead of endearing and fun.

Enjoy your life, TDI! As the world permits, anyhow. I don't think this game would get quite so much rancor if it felt less... well, "derivative" is kind of an odd label to throw at a genre that's been going for decades now, but it doesn't really do to try and remind us so strongly of specific other classic games when we can actually play them.

Overall I think a game called "I am Setsuna" has to make us really invested in Setsuna and what makes her tick, and it didn't deliver. Good work putting up with us, Id. Also the LPs.

Thank you very much, Dark Id. Your 20+ Let's Plays gave me some entertainment during some rough times in my life, and they were always creative and enjoyable. I wish you the best in whatever you do next, although with all of the Suplex City in your RE4 Anniversary Stream, I feel like I should wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Wow, that was kinda dumb. This game may not be the best you've LP'd, but it was the best you've LP'd a game, at least to me. Fantastic job making the cast so much more lively while showing off everything worthwhile about it. Thanks for introducing me to the madness that is Taro Yoko, and the ten years of laughter!

Thanks for everything, DarkId. I'd been following your stuff for a while, but your Xenogears LP helped me get through some really, really hard stuff. Having laughs at such a bonkers game really kept my spirits up when I needed it most. Best wishes to you and yours. Things will get better, I know they will. We'll be loving this poo poo again soon!

The game did manage to surprise me, since I wasn't expecting Setsuna to actually die, but they ended up doing in the most pointless fashion possible. I guess it makes sense in that empty "sadness" was part of the design, but drat. Thank you for doing these LPs throughout the years, Id. Pretty sure the first one I ever read was your Dirge of Cerberus one, and the big Hojo reveal is still my favorite thing from any of the games you've done.

Huh, I haven't checked the let's play forum since the Drakengard 4 Let's Play ended. I come back here on a whim and discover a new Dark Id Let's Play right as it's ending. Life is funny sometimes. Thanks for the many years of great Let's Plays Dark Id. You've written some truly hilarious things that I loved reading. I wish you luck in all your future endeavors.

TDI LPs are what wound me up here, when a phantom paywall suddenly blocked me from reading a funny Chrono Cross thing. What a perfect bookend. Thanks for the sincere fun, dude. ...and possibly for singlehandedly saving the Drakengard/NieR franchise.

I'm impressed that they actually went for the Setsuna death! I can't even complain that it was dumb - I mean, it was dumb, but in a way that fits with Setsuna's core character trait. It is a little disappointing that 1.) we got the time travel back 10 years and didn't get any familiar faces beyond dad 2.) Reaper didn't really contribute jack poo poo story-wise after he joins up. I hope the team does better next time. Thanks for Drakengard, ID.

...Well if that wasn't the stupidest loving goddamn thing. I loving hate True Art Is Angsty writers, always pulling bullshit like this. I had actually been considering picking up this game after I got a PS4 with my tax return, but if that's the only ending I'm locked into, gently caress THAT. That said, thanks for the LP, Id. Good stuff as always.
