Thank you for topic I have only a passing interest in triangle strategy so I didn't go rushing to make a review zone topic I think that's a game I'll get when it's $20 --- https://imgtc.com/i/iJnhdkc.gif https://imgtc.com/i/j45EVGx.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Octopath goes on sale a lot but that's not published by Nintendo. TriStrat hype! I've been really looking forward to this while still being wary of the writing. Most of the reviews have good things to say about the plot (if not necessarily the characters) so that's a good sign. --- Very slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ... Copied to Clipboard!

TheRock1525 posted... This voice acting is... something. probably my #1 recommended change from the early demo and they did nothing. really REALLY should've made an option to replace voice with text sound effects. maybe their defense is that this was done remotely during covid, but even so it truly is indefensibly bad. I'll keep them on for a while because I like the battle voices, but might turn the voice volume to zero. --- while you slept, the world changed ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's not that bad. It definitely feels as though these voice actors were handed scripts with extremely basic directions and they didn't do many re-takes. Like Serenoa's voice actor probably got a bunch of lines with *impassioned* or *sympathetic* next to it and that's it. the thing is, a lot of modern videogames get away with slightly sub-average voice acting because the voices are accompanied with a cg or in-game cutscene. you can get away with a bad line reading thanks to the drama of the scene or the facial expression. you don't get that with retro 16/32 bit homage games. additionally, in a story heavy game like this, it's useless anyway because you really just want to read the text and not have to wait for someone to speak it. i can see how it's "too much story" if you're waiting for all of these lines to be spoken and not just reading at your own pace. otherwise I think the amount of story between battles is fine. --- while you slept, the world changed ...

"Twials of mana" is because a character speaks with a lisp. It was intentional. And my husband and I love Charlotte's voice. I don't think the voice acting is that bad. I love how so over it Erika and Thalas sound. Drunk Dragan is the best though. Erador isn't bad either. --- Don't mess with a Bunny! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I thought that fight was easy peasy, and I thought it made sense since the boss is such a pansy. compared to chapter 7, it was cake. but, I also decided not to use the traps in chapter 7, so that made it way harder than it should have been. --- xyzzy ... Copied to Clipboard!
