Well, my advice to you is try the demo and see if it works. Valkyrie Elysium seemed pure trash when I saw the trailer.Going to be superbrief into this and mince you some impressions: Which really shouldn’t be a barrier, but I keep collecting paths not taken and finding the path I have taken less satisfying. I just keep thinking, What if I only had ninjas who could cast holy or What if instead of having a powerful summoner, I had a powerful time mage and on and on in every possible permutation. I think this especially happens to me with games that allow so much customization. Like I don’t want it to end but also a mild frustration about choices not made by me that would have led to a potentially more interesting final act of the game. I find this sometimes happens to me near the end of a game. I should just keep going with FF Tactics but I keep picking up other games to dick around in for a while now that I’m approaching the ending. Not in a bad way, but I find it structurally very odd and also unforgiving. I started playing Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and this game feels bizarre. IN theory, I love everything it’s doing, but I also found myself just wishing I was doing something else. I like the idea of the story being important in a game like this, but I have a feeling that this game is just not for me. Played a bit of the demo the other day too. I do wonder if the whole game will be like this. So far there’s always been an “advance the story” quest marker waiting for me at all times I’m in control, leading to that classic JRPG tension of “the world’s in danger but I really need to fish rn.” It’s dumb but I think that tension is pretty funny and often makes maudlin or overly sentimental stories go down easier for me, so I actually like that it’s there. The tone is alternating maudlin and absurd-silly, which I find charming. Hopefully the demo is built around introducing the story, because having a story beat to get through every morning and only getting to my crops at noon was frustrating. I really like it so far with some caveats.
