Duma Tower was a lot worse in the NES version. In that one, Celica's party could take small amounts of damage every time Alm entered a room.

Also, if you're taking an hour on each of those random encounters, you're doing something very wrong.

"Bravely Default...the entire 2nd half" I laughed...then I cried

[poyopotpie]

The first time I played Bravely Default I pursued the True Ending so I went through the 2nd half completely instead of just blitzing through it. I was upset the first time but upon reflection and replaying the game I love it. I think it wouldn't have been as bad if they did more of showing how different "each time" was. There are so many cool easter eggs ONLY if you seek them out. That should have been more obvious because while their idea makes sense story-wise, it is super controversial and feels like it was the lazy way to execute said idea.

I'm really concerned on how Echoes random encounters are taking an hour.

[tobathetura]

Fire emblem fanboy here. Regarding echos and the tower of duma, the slog your describing is a bit misleading considering, A- most fights are completely avoidable
B- turn the damn animations off lol
C- the turn wheel grants you plenty of forgiveness for inevitable screwups (also builds tension as your mistakes add up and you run low on charges)
D- the random encounters are more like 5 minutes as opposed to the hour you described
E- the generally easy difficulty and designs constraints of the turnwheel forced the devs to adopt battle of attrition tactics (not really a defense more of an explanation)
F- your skillz
G- git gud
H- Celica is bae

Also great vid two thumbs up

I dont know if it was intentional or no but the music to YHWH's dungeon was utterly nerve-wracking. Like, having to listen to that music over an over was half the difficulty to this infamous dungeon. But seriously still is a very well-crafted JRPG, don't let this scare u away, take it like a man. No vaseline hardcore smt goodness.

[Morgan_Blackhand]

I absolutely LOVED Bravely Default, but the second half was ridiculous.
Having to repeat everything a ridiculous amount of times to get the true ending was such a drag.

[Terranigma]

For Ever Oasis there is instant teleporter in dungeon (beginning, middle, end) so you can come back to the Oasis when you want.

What I liked about this vid is learning about games I've never heard of. Thanks for the hard work and keep it up!

[enderspider]

Persona Q was an amazing game but some of the puzzles in the dungeons were just completely momentum stopping. Inaba pride had the worst for sure but the other dungeons were quite tedious as well. The story was fun though. I always enjoy a good crossover game.

[JusticiaD]

In Ever Oasis, you can see what abilities you will need in a dungeon before you go in. Also teleport is fast.

[TheKabuto]

I can forgive the Rune Prana as it's technically postgame and optional but the rest of these can die in a fire. Especially Duma Tower as I really feel that while they are a bit simplistic and generic, every other dungeon was relatively well designed in terms of length and encounters. Not to mention the classic Fire Emblem difficulty spike is in full force there which just makes it worse.

You know what this video seems to be missing?

A good, old fashioned sewer dungeon. David's favorite.

[nicole]

Bravely Default pissed me off because the game was really good and they made well realized characters that felt relatable and intelligent but to get the "true" ending they must've taken a bunch of stupid pills because none of them realized what was happening. That BLEW MY MIND.

[RuneFactoryandElonaMobileGreat]

i love rune factory the same, the crafting, the difficulty and keeping your allies from fainting requires serious grinding in skills, equipment and exp. This is not a game to play fast, it grows like crops and it's the most rewarding. I have almost 1000 hours in it and i don't need anything else.

[MrSwaggington]

I'm geuinely surprised that nobody ever talks about the interesting things that happen in the other alternate universes in brabely default. Don't they ever look for the extra stuff?

Sticker Star isn't even an RPG....it's a giant dumpster fire.

[MiamiSunrise]

Crimson Shroud I have only heard of and seen gameplay of once before my viewing of this video. What you describe with the Gersey Waterway and the rare enemy/rare drop key situation is one of the most inexcusable scenarios I have heard of in an RPG. That for me might have had me do one of two things:
1. Shut the game off and never come back
2. Throw the 3DS
It isn't the same thing, but it reminds me of the things you have to do in Final Fantasy 2 for SNES in order to get the Pink Tail: Go to one room in the final dungeon (if memory serves me there is nothing in that room so why would you stay in it?) and in that room you have a (if I remember correctly) like a 1 in 64 chance of fighting a Pink Puff and even if you fight them, you also have an extremely low chance of them dropping the pink tail. Then you have to know to take it to the underground to the smith to get the Adamant armor. I almost always refer to this practically unsolvable side quest when I here of things like what you described.


I can easily see the Crimson Shroud situation being number 1 in this video haha

Oh god I can't wait to suffer in smt4 apocalypse
