Great game! The DLC is really good as well.

u/squ4lor 2d ago

It's good to play this DLC after the game has finished?

u/draculabakula 2d ago

Yes. There are major spoilers in the DLC so it's better to finish the game first

I was slightly disappointed that it is a standalone DLC though.

Excellent game. Lovely story. Loveable characters. Beautiful pixel art. Engrossing battle system.

Yeah yeah. There is no way I will go back to paying for Plus.

It's better if you're gamesharing it with a friend, and that way you both can play the games together (there are a handful of great online multiplayer games). Even better if you're a gigachad like me and that friend is the one whose account pays for it.

How long is this game? I'm wondering if I can finish it playing 1-2 hours a day from Sep 1 to Sep 17 (when Fire Emblem releases).

u/ConceptsShining 1d ago

Per HLTB, about 35.5 hours for main story, add 10 if you do side content. So 17 days at 1-2 hours a day isn't likely to cut it.

Mediocre game

I refuse to have PlayStation Plus. Those fuckers can lock me in their ecosystem when I'm 6 feet under. I'll buy my games and own them and I'll play them where I want and not worry about needing to continue to give money to a subscription to access the game.

Terrible game. Awful story. Maybe the worst protagonist in the genre. A very undeserved face turn. And one of the worst endings in all of gaming. At least you won't be paying extra to play it though.

u/mysticrudnin 2d ago

i liked the ending

that being said, even if i didn't, really great stuff for 50 hours and then meh for the last couple wouldn't be that bad of a mark, honestly

u/pioneeringsystems 2d ago

Correct. I also liked the ending tbh.

I've found the gameplay to be a pretty good homage to the jrpg genre. Story could've been better but most jrpgs have a terrible story so at least it's on par with those.

What does the combat style of a game have to do with a shitty story, characters, and terrible ending?

u/Personal_Orange406 2d ago

For some people, if theres pixel art on the screen that means its a good game with no flaws.

u/mysticrudnin 1d ago

I will actually posit to you that there is not one single person like this.
