for STORY REASONS

white flames black flames

err softlock in the finale i mean

man you cant just drop chapter names max

i havvent played rev that many times

16/17

iirc

the one where like

its the

fire lines

that expand

and then u go to the valley

ohhh

thats a back to back chapter

man

Yeah but it's fine in Rev because Rev is easy

yea

they literally just had a blank map and put flames on it

yes.

i mean the flames are a good gimmick

because if they go down at a bad time

your entire army gets flanked

by like 80 promoted units

but its rev

so none of them have skills

youre also dumped into valla after this

lowkey they shoulda cut off ther est of the game world

after you entered valla

i mean honestly the paralogue system just kinda sucks story wise

i guess it doesnt matter because you have

a hyperspace bubble castle

that valla also knows about

and valla itself may or may not be its own hyperspace bubble

(they dont really say if it is or isnt)

put the babies in their own bubble too

except

the portals to these bubbles

are just like

littered across the lands

im pretty sure one of the portals to one of the hoshigdan kids ones

im glad the bandits only decided to invade when the kids are grown up!

is in nohr

as well

y'know, I think rev especially would have benefitted from a RD/TRS army split. It is a really fun mechanic in those games.

give you a reason to use more of the units in rev too since it's so bloated.

revs issue isnt even the bloat

the bloats fine

its the fact half the units they give you come with really really bad stats

or at times where theyre useless

conquest units come at perfect times for 90% of them and all of them have a use except 3~

birthright units similarly all come at times where theyre kinda needed, though argubly a few of them are hit or miss and have a higher chance of being useless

rev units get given to you in places where they serve no use- and your unit deployment slots are so so so tight that it doesnt really matter what you do

I just want more army splits

I'm not going to longpost yet, but I'm convinced about something in Crimson Desert Act 1 (2-3 hours): Very Korean opening that everyone agrees you kind of have to push past Act 2 (10-15 hours): World opens up, and the game is great, teases some of the midgame/endgame systems Act 3 (5-7 hours): Weird out-of-place RDR2/Genshin style character re-introduction and HEAVY-handed earlygame system tutorials

They 100% swapped Act 2 and 3 around, but couldn't bring themselves to just cut act 3 completely

Is there an act 4 or is that the ending?

idk how I feel about the characters either, they're a good RPG cast, but I have doubts that being low-fantasy RDR2 is going to carry through the whole game

11 acts I think

oh wow

it's VERY Korean MMO coded

I don't know anything about the game

in an approachable way

it actually doesn't feel like a copy of any game specifically, to my surprise

there's a lot of RDR2, but it's got Dragons Dogma, Botw/TotK, Genshin, and Witcher 3 in it too

+ Korean MMO framework

what does a "korean opening" mean

bro never played a kmmo

i havent

korean games are actually like 10% peak 90% monitization

the game opens on a low-stakes Helm's Deep holdout type setpiece with over-the-top cuts to every character as they do some epic move or die

if koreans never learned about micro transactions

they would be the best in the games industry

but almost every single korean game is ruined by p2w

china likes this too

tbf

yeah, it fits for both

the difference is usually CN ones are so over-the-top they become funny

also

i would not expect anything from the story
