This is standard for Falcom games, I think that's all they can afford tbh. It doesn't help that sometimes they go for expensive/famous voice actors. They should make the effort to have all the main story voice acted at least.
Yeah, it's kind of weird. Daybreak got 57 reviews, and Daybreak 2 got 75. This one has only ~20. Maybe we will see more on Monday.
Did you try cleaning it? Because most of the time it stops working due to being too dirty inside. This really sucks, I have the launch model and I hope nothing happens to it. I even recently had it cleaned professionally.
Coming straight from Daybreak 1 and 2, it was really odd how they moved most buttons around for the sake of moving the around. Took me a while to adjust.
PC version is flawless for me, HDR is awesome too.
It only has slight dips in cutscenes that involve tons of geometry (like buildings) or sometimes when there's like 5+ characters in screen at once, both of which are very rare.
Yes, Falcom default keybinds are absolutely dreadful. It's much worse in Ys though. Ys X would have been unplayable by me if not for Steam Input.
It's doing really well with respect to other Trails games:
This encapsulates what I'm feeling in some of the battles. It seems like a lot of the boss battles are:
What AOE are you talking about? I ever saw her doing a regular shot and a charged shot for the whole battle, but I spaced my characters to the different sides of the battle zone so I suppose AI just didn't use because there was no reason since it wouldn't hit more than one character anyway. Spacing always was important part of Trails especially in this new iteration of combat system as you don't even need to spent a turn to do it. She also didn't have two turns in a row a single time in my case, strange
IIRC status resistant is pretty important in Trailes, especially the boss. I just finished Cold Steel 1-2 with walkthrough, and it always mention what to equip to counter the status effect
I almost got stuck on the roadblock boss near the start of Chapter 2, then I rage quit on the next boss. I'm having fun though, so I want to see it through to the end, but I gotta pace myself better. The story and characters are really good so far.
Yeah maybe that would help some. This game has a really weird difficulty curve, everything is either super easy or you get one shot, lol. Are there any group heals later on? I feel that's the aspect that's missing or maybe I don't have it yet, when they hit everyone down to almost no health after the first turn everyone has to consumer a health item/spell just to get back up and then just gets hit right back down, so it's essentially impossible to do damage while having to heal your team every single turn to prevent them from going down. I haven't seen any group heal items or spells unless I missed it.
I've kinda sidelined 1st due to my Crossbell arc commitments, but 3 chapters in, it's a brilliant remake on par with FF7R project in both quality and the atmosphere.
Yup, it's the same case with Cold Steel too. I was forced to choose weaken enemies everytime I died lol. I don't know if it's a staple, but there is group healing arts. It's called Breath. No group item though.
Huh...Pretty sure it's using DLSS on Switch 2. It's impressive with how extremely clean/sharp the image is, esp on the 1080p screen.
You're missing out. Get. It. Now.
The third game has a lot of reused models / textures, enemies, locations, etc. from the first two games. There are some new things, but I think overall it'd be less new stuff than even the second game would have. This game seems to be selling well, and drawing new people into the series. I'd say there is still a chance the third game gets remade.
I find these two screenshots incredibly wavy. It seemed to me that the Switch 1 demo looked better.Huh...Pretty sure it's using DLSS on Switch 2. It's impressive with how extremely clean/sharp the image is, esp on the 1080p screen.
I'm seriously hoping they go back to every other 3D Trails game (Trails Beyond, etc.) on Switch and release a NS2 Edition with this level of optimization.
Lol these were taken in handheld and are at 1080p. I'm not sure how they would look blown up on a higher resolution screen, but rest assured they are crisp as hell on a mobile phone screen and esp on the actual Switch 2 screen..and running at a silky smooth 60fps.
It's amazing. I put down cyberpunk, Bravery default and hot shots to try this out. Haven't gone back to any of them as this game is a gem!
Thank you. That's what I was missing, adding La Tear fixed my issues with the boss battles for the most part (other than the ones where they get rapid turns where they kill you before you can even use it).
