I decided that now where the FEE3 started it’d be a great opportunity to finally test out this hack. I was immediately hooked after that amazing trailer and am excited for the upcoming video. The setting of a pirate crew (or a hack that takes place in a sea like territory) sounded great and is something we will never see in the Original Games. Sea and Snow maps for example are here and there in the games but became a lot rarer over the years. Aside from the Ilya route none of them stay a long topic either. Definitly going to mix up things from the standard formula. The way Ellerie summarizes her journey in letters also gives fresh wind and I gotta give thumbs up for that worldmap. Story is also told fast and good, I’m into it.
So far I have played the first two chapters.
From my first impressions the units are just as special as the things I saw in the presentation last year. Can’t wait to get that epic Chicken with its Astra Weapon (the timing on the trailer was PERFECT, never thought a Chicken would hype me up so much).
Everyone has something useful while not being too complicated and with alternatives to use. The tools you gave the player are immediately required to make it out of the first map as fast as possible while getting all the treasures. The changes with the Weapon Triangle and overall increased hit will be interesting.
It was a great first chapter!
Mince and Pomelo died due to my greediness but chapter 2 was still more than beatable.
Unlike the first chapter it is a much more chill escape map but it still punishes you if you go to slow. I like that especially since mistakes like I did (taking too much time and attacking the OP reinforcements) are possible and teach you that turtling will bite you back. I like to play with Permadeath if I can and so far I got the feeling this here’ll work out.
All units have to be used to their best in order to proceed but small mistakes won’t bite you too hard. Awesome. I wonder if Bettys Boys don’t appear if I hadn’t killed their mother?
Oh er about the Elixier
Sorry, pal, if I knew you’d give me one I’d never bought one during preps. Not gonna miss that Sleep-Staff.
I haven’t played as much special takes on the GBA games so far and this one could burn itself into my memories for good. So far Tower and Lindros are my favourite units. Staff Axe Jagen good and the idea behind the Lunge-Warp with the Guidance Personal is AMAZING. It gives you so much unique maneuvers.
Funnily Lindros reminds me of Taion from Xenoblade Chronicles 3, has a similar role and seems to have a similar character as well. This is a cool coincidence since he is one of my fav characters of that game as well.
I also can't wait to see how Gecko will turn out after I trained her. Earlygame Galeforce Units are so much fun. And I think if they stay Infantry they'll be balanced enough compared to their Dark Flier origins. Speaking of, villager is a Trainee Class isn't it?
(The icons of the items look so good.)
One thing I don’t understand is how to use the “Fire Tome.” The game doesn’t give me enough info about it. Or I missed it. Why can’t Lindros use it? Is it only able to counter? Does the attack hit allies as well?
