im so sad the vocal songs for 7th dragon III use real vocalists. like they do an amazing job and the songs fuck nasty but i miss my miku songs with the most robotic early 2010s tuning you've heard in your fucking life
This weird thing has been happening for a while where despite playing 7th Dragon III two times this year, a small part of me always pipes up every now and then like "you should totally play through it again!!"
Why? Beats the hell outta me. Maybe it's just because it's a really easy game to break over your knee (not to spoil anything but what if I told you that once upon a time I kept the final boss asleep for the entire final phase)?? Whatever the reason, the game's been living rent free in my head for almost 1 year
I'm just saying, if my SMT: Strange Journey playthrough is ever put on hold and I start playing 7D3 instead, please know that it happened against my will
One disappointing thing starts when a game comes out with a certain feature, which the gameplay at least somewhat relies on, and then the series moves on to a system with limitations that require the feature to be reworked in a way that makes it less convenient.
The true disappointment is solidified when the series moves, once again, to another system, and this one could support the feature as it was. And it comes so close to doing that, only for the gimped version of the feature to remain.
Take 7th Dragon. In the first game, like Etrian Odyssey before it, there was a map on the bottom screen. With this map, you could see exactly how long it would take before a Dragon decided to join in on your fight.
2020 and 2020-ii couldn't do that, because they were on a system with only one screen. So there was a little icon that would change color, and unless you wanted to memorize what they all meant, you wouldn't know how close the Dragon was until the game finally decided it was close enough to start displaying messages about it. And it could only track the location of the Dragon nearest to your fight, so you could still be getting dogpiled without much warning.
VFD is on the 3DS. The map is on the bottom screen again, though you have to fill it out yourself this time. The icon remains. You can't even see the map in battle. (At the point of the game I'm at, the touch screen does nothing.) It wouldn't even have to have an exact number, just 'okay there are multiple things in range to fuck me up, where's the run button' would do a lot.
I'm not sure it'd quite make up for 'can only navigate menus with D-pad,' but it'd do a lot.
Just learned Takuma Terushima was apparently one of the male voice options in 7th Dragon III meaning I could have given Yamato(Or in my case,Taneli) a voice sounding similar to Satoru's.But given when the game was out none of the characters I can now link to the man were in existence/awareness yet so instead I used Kaito Ishikawa since he was voicing a lot of favorable characters in the 2016 landscape.
Now that I'm armed with this info...Maybe I'll try drawing the boy in this so-called Samurai attire but more to his orange color scheme.
Heck,it works so well that Daifuku can be Nagamimi
