>>56204776 Oh shit, I never found that one, Desolation has quite a few secret areas like this, in Ruby island there's two clearings deep in the trees just like there in Old Woodland, there's a TM for X-Scissor and a Murkrow that shows up at night after you beat Aderyn and complete the quest.

It's not just a static image either, I'm impressed. I know later characters also have portraits in dialogue (btw does that extend to the protag too?) so seems like this game is really putting some effort into it's visuals, even if in this instance it's a pretty small thing

Leonymous !!wgGLdYXkQ+8
>>56204896 Okay being truthful, I did play a very small amount of this last night to see how it started and what all the choices were ahead of time, I never actually gained control of my character though. I went ahead and swapped the sprites for the white haired one with legacy aevis and made a full select screen for it because I unironically did that with every fan game I played as a kid after rejuv no matter how unfitting. I may change it back later, I kept all the old files just in case, but for old times sake I wanna do this for now
Also that art is from Rejuv's files but I dont think it's ever used in game at any point so I just used it here to feel a little more natural, and the background is just neo east gearen with the player sprite invisible
Wagie !!jFV8SjIrokx
>>56204776 decided to look at it real quick
it's not actually a hidden item so it doesn't get flagged by the itemfinder
demice and moto actually pull this shit quite a bit in their mods, by putting 'hidden' items that are not actually invisible, i wonder if that's where the inspiration came from

as for demice and moto, given how much they gloat about that kind of design it's 100% malicious on their part
i think demice does it because it's like muh heccin metroidvanias and moto does it because he just copies demice and has no original thoughts or talent of his own

Alright finished up to badge 2 tonight, Played V6 at launch but it's been a while. It always surprises me how fast the level curve is in Deso, I guess it's because they don't throttle you with the level cap until after Tristan. I kind of dig it since it differentiates the earlygame of Deso and the other Rebornlikes. The general writing and dialogue are also a league above Reborn and way above Deso. I can't stress enough how good it feels to have consistent, human characters that behave rationally instead of anime trope + convolution.
My only flaw, which is getting into spoiler territory is Scarlett's character. I really don't get what they were going with for her.
Why would the cinnamon roll friend join a crazy terrorist organisation and stay with them after they attempted to murder her friends twice? Ava's best girl obviously, and Aderyn's cute too. I enjoy that this game shows that characters can actually have attractions and still be competent. It really shoves Jan's pussyfooting around Aelita into the ground, doesn't it?
>>56205270 The best part about Ava is that MC + Her + Rosetta would literally be her dream pairing
Wagie !!jFV8SjIrokx
Quoted By:
>>56205484 there's a general 'free will but flawed vs perfection without freedom' theme in desolation where things like
crescent want to create a world without free will but traps people in a perfect dream forever or darkrai growing resentful of ruling a world where no one has free will scarlett i guess is supposed to be the introduction to that theme and combined with an insecure character who underestimates her own value they did admittedly rush the arc hard and kind of forget about it (and her) afterwards though. it's definitely the weakest part of deso writingwise

The MC sure has a track record for tarwrangling and turning criminals into working members of society, Amelia-sama....you can't escape forever....
>>56205484 Yeah Scarlett's arc is pretty rushed and out of nowhere even after the admittedly okay attempts they made to smooth it out in v6, I think they're heavily hinting that
Darkrai fucked with her head via Nova and Scarlett is possibly a dreamer as well, though this hint goes nowhere so who the fuck knows, they completely forgot about her after Blackview, Nova by comparison gets some wonderful scenes in episode 6 if you saved her.

>>56205550 She shows up again in the Cellia tournament but ultimately the game makes it very clear that she's a naive girl in way over her head, which I guess saves the devs the autism of having to write multiple branches of major scenes for each fork while she's sitting out.
This is probably the right call because hers is probably the ideal mental state for Darkrai to further exploit with the dream world jape he's probably trying to pull on the MC if she kept herself around for longer >>56205535 I'm definitely playing this next.

>>56205550 Yeah that was the impression I got as well back then, especially considering they didn't mention finding a body in older versions,
I still think the whole thing revolving around her trying to kill herself was part of Darkrai's ploy to make the MC get shaken up, the issue especially in older versions is that we don't spend enough time with Scarlett. Leonymous !!wgGLdYXkQ+8

I was expecting this to be dreadful, but it was a surprisingly clean first try win. Lunatone is extremely passive even with PULSE2, so you can safely ignore it with a mon that resists its STABs and focus down the left side first. Shiv pulls his weight just fine in a 2v1.5 since Lunatone doesn't really contribute much for Baron. After it's down to a 2v1, Shiv will probably be (almost) out of gas, but it's nothing you can't handle at that point if you saved a faster mon for the end to preserve his Megazard's Flare Blitzes for the things that actually matter like Klinklang.

This is anime-troped as hell, but I genuinely love it because the game itself has done such a good job making me invested in the characters. Seeing the very real payoff of everyone's lives you've touched in a game that's core theme is the question of if reality is objective or a subjective experience is both heartwarming and narrative kino.

>And Barron has Rufus Shinra's theme while who remembers what Glitchxshitty track is used for Sirius kek That's the funny part. Sirius doesn't even get a unique battle track. He just has the same Meteor Admin theme (formerly the gym leader theme in old versions of the game) that's shared with Taka, Zel and Ace. For all of the narrative weight he lifts (mostly offscreen), even the game itself is undercooking his onscreen presentation.

Took quite a lot of effort due to how annoying the fight was, but I decided to try a bit of thieving myself since a lot of the sidequest bosses in Cellia East have some amazing items, it didn't go very well, at all, but I did manage to steal two Leftovers and a singular assault vest, not bad I suppose, I just don't have very optimal setups or Pokemon to pull it off.

This is the new driving mystery for Act 3, huh?

>>56205897 I was pretty stunned you guessed it so thoroughly, it took me a fair while on my first go to figure it out, I knew something was wrong and that the whole inception thing seemed shady, I figured out the ruse during the booker sidequest due to the last thing Aurora says, as well as thinking over the fact a few characters were behaving strangely at times, as if
they weren't quite themselves, you really start to notice if you read between the lines in a few scenes.
>>56205899 He has a Fletchinder to deal with Ground moves and a few moves that can burn on his mons, I guess he whittled it down with some effort.
>>56205930 Yup, it has....very interesting implications.

>>56205867 >>56205897 It really is a fun twist.
I like that the game pretends your first visit to the Dreamscape is set up like the major twist and tries to use the usual tropes for "it was all a dream" stories but then fucks with them. So the player goes in thinking that clearly is something is wronf before they get to Dreamscape and could accept it being reality as plausible, but the feeling of wrongness doesn't wear off once you're in there the last piece of the puzzle on the darkrai front is Tristan, who, well, you'll see pretty soon >This is the new driving mystery for Act 3, That, and something else
Probably should start wondering what's up with Lilith's Umbreon

Right, it's been a bit since I last posted it, but current hmph count is 279, it stopped pretty abruptly when we reach Cellia North but it slowly starts picking back up again after we come face to face with Baron and Shiv again, it's actually pretty tough to hell who's ahead of the hmph count, Baron and Shiv were neck and neck last time around with Amelia being not too far behind either of them.
>>56205992 I translated this way back if you want help, so if you want to avoid a headache it's
center first, then northeast, then southwest, then southeast, then northwest, then northeast again, southwest, southeast and then northwest, then for last it's center again. Anonymous

Got a little unlucky toward the end with missing rollout first try and having my water sport mons die the second the field caught fire, but otherwise he was pretty easy since his mons were around level 15 and I had about 18 on average from the breeder

Ya know, the literal future scientist who made this shit was was already performing all these experiments on her own Pokemon. Can't even make the excuse that it was muh Zero who made her do it (but he still needs to get off scot-free anyway) because she was doing this shit to her own Magneton/Magnezone right before he showed up, including all the pain. Shit like this pisses me off even more when these types try to act like they dindu nuffin, it was someone else's fault, but wait, you need to pretend that other guy also dindu nuffin.

Saphira was a pretty solid fight. I think her all gen team is better, the steel types mix up how you approach her a bit.

I despise terra and wish she wasnt in the game, but I will admit as a one off surprise the no text battle was neat

>>56206497 From what I've seen, it was mostly some shit about regretting being part of ZEL, regretting that her inventions were used by the Meteors, etc. Somewhat less gay and castrated than Cal here, purely by virtue of having less lines.
And yes, Cal was a mistake.

Maybe this ain't as bad as how the others are doing with TMs, but some of these decisions are just crazy. Why is this one, for example, way after Dark Pulse? It would've been useful maybe in the teens and 20s, but you get Dark Pulse by leveling at maybe 30s-40s, and as a TM at 70 or so. Maybe there's a field or something to boost it, I dunno. It's not even from the mod, since those TMs are 100+,
>>56204766 >>56206663 I just can't say enough how based Florinia is there. She probably carried Tit*nia against the other girls considering their types, before BTFOing her herself, despite the disadvantage. And now outhacks T*rra too.

like you said, carries and then beat Titania, takes down terra and saves everyone and actually has a character arc that goes some where
plus I like her gym a lot, as she has a field that synergises with her team and puts a new spin on them without just flat buffing them/nerfing their counters like so many of the later ones

I haven't played Pokemon in almost two years. I'm thinking of giving Pokemon Tectonic a try. Is it any good? Also, roughly how long is it?
Wagie !!jFV8SjIrokx
>>56207333 GG, hope you did your reading
>>56207334 It's pretty alright, you'll just have to get accustomed to all the Pokemon changes
Probably about 30 hours long or so, maybe longer if you're diligent with sidequests
Bunken !!O3Z0J+BO1kU
>>56207334 it's good but it changes a lot of type matchups and rules, it's also really battle centric there's very little plot. If you want something more traditional you could try pokemon rowe, it's emerald but you can choose your gym path and it's got I think up to gen 8 pokemon

>>56207377 There isn't like a major villain team or anything, there are some antagonists but the game doesn't put a ridiculous amount of focus on them

>>56206711 Ummm, guaranteed lowering special attack is clearly too powerful for the player to have chud

How dare they give out Struggle Bug (which does the exact same thing) as the 3rd gym's reward

both choices being a negative towards one of them is an issue. I sided with ava obviously but if that's gonna be the case moving forward with other options I can only hope only major ones affect the ending. I can bake
