FAIRY TAIL 2

ГДЕ МОИ СТУЛЬЯ

It feels like a chimera uninspired mishmash of older Koei games. With a plot back drop of the Alvarez empire arc. I intended to stream this game for friends but I'm struggling to find a reason to pick this game back up.

i'm saddened that they didnt put much effort in to this game, however i am a sucker for Fairy Tail games. <<< 7/10 >>>

Fairy Tail 2 is, in my opinion, a clear improvement over Fairy Tail in terms of gameplay mechanics. However, like the first game, I wouldn’t consider it a replacement for the anime or manga, as there are differences, inconsistencies, and missing important characters. I enjoyed this sequel more overall, mainly thanks to the combat system. I know some players dislike it, but for me it felt more dynamic and engaging compared to the turn-based style of the first game. Another big improvement is the open world, which was something I really missed before. It fits the Fairy Tail universe well, although adding more locations, such as additional towns, would make it even better. On the downside, the game has less overall content. I especially missed the request board – while it might not fit during the story, it would have been perfect as post-game content. After finishing the story, there isn’t much left to do. In terms of playtime, I ended up with fewer hours than in the first game, but that’s mainly because the original had a lot of repetitive content. Overall, the time needed to finish both games feels quite similar. A big plus is the difficulty selection. I’m not a player who enjoys challenging combat, so having the option to focus on the story without struggling against bosses was something I really appreciated. Overall, I have mixed feelings. The sequel has better gameplay, but the first game offers more content and longevity. If a third game is ever made, combining the strengths of both would be the ideal approach. I recommend buying it on sale, and the standard edition is enough. DLC content unlocks only after finishing the story, so it’s not very useful during your playthrough. This game is mainly for hardcore Fairy Tail fans who don’t mind its flaws. Others might enjoy the first game more. Overall rating: 7/10

全成就通关，来聊聊游戏体验。 一、优化 感觉不如1代优化好，遇到过2次闪退问题，游玩时间较长后野外破坏障碍等动作会变得比较卡，读档又恢复了，不知道是什么原因。另外，对战艾吉尔，只要开出沙暴技能后帧数就必定掉到20-30帧。 二、画面 作为一个粉丝向游戏，画面就不说了。同样是GUST的游戏，炼金工房整体画面表现更好，妖尾的野外建模太粗糙了。 三、音乐和配音 这个没毛病 ，热血战斗番配高燃BGM，好听。声优表现也不错。 四、地图 1、野外地图变成联通的。省去了过图加载的时间。地图中有宝箱、普鲁、地标等收集物，野怪、魔力汇集地则是高频刷新的，需要素材的去打就是了。 2、地标、营火解锁了，都可以传送，加上强力冲刺，跑图效率是很高的。营火处可以消耗奖章找普鲁兑换道具，也可以观看角色故事，和营火互动还能恢复状态节省一些药品。 3、地图中有很多障碍物，需要推进剧情，解锁高跳跃、爆发攻击等特殊能力才能破坏。 五、便利功能 玩家等级超过怪物等级一定后，可以不进入战斗直接击败怪物，大幅度节省刷怪的时间。 六、斗技场 这个是季票增加的攻击，可以和剧情中的BOSS再次进行战斗，包括单挑和多人连战，打赢后有强力晶石、恢复道具等奖励。斗技场强度很高，建议八角色培养到满再去挑战。 七、养成 1、技能树。初始3条技能树，达到100级解锁第4条技能树，满级150级所有技能都是可以点满的，不用选择取舍，强迫症玩家表示好评。 2、魔水晶。相当于装备，初始可装备3个，满级可以解锁第4个栏位。魔水晶提供各种能力值加成、功能，高级的魔水晶可以镶嵌晶石。在商人处只能兑换到基础的魔水晶，露西的炼金工房则可以消耗素材进一步强化魔水晶，先把工房等级拉满，提高成功率确保超成功，就可以把魔水晶强化到最强，只不过要把所有角色的水晶都搞到顶级，素材需求量很大。 八、战斗 1、妖精等级。随着不断战斗提升等级，最高5级，好处是增加SP获得效率，并且可以使用对应等级的超魔法。 2、SP。战斗的基础，普攻积攒SP，也可以搭配技能和道具提升获取效率，SP高了能使用更强的技能。 3、超魔法。强力，可以提供全队增益，敌全体减益等各种效果，演出效果也很酷炫。可以理解为一定时间内的全体BUFF，非常实用。 4、弱点属性。在图鉴中可以看到敌人的弱点、免疫属性。战斗中技能克制敌人、被敌人免疫都有图标显示，可以切换队友来调整阵容。 5、盾牌。BOSS都有较高的盾牌值，在破盾强输出有限。破1个盾可以触发一个联结攻击，破全部盾可以触发一个合体魔法（特定角色组合会有专属合体魔法，其他的则是通用演出）。破盾后敌人会处于较长时间的眩晕状态，这个时候就狠狠输出。 6、技能取舍。每个角色最多装备6个技能，恢复、破盾、打血技能要做好搭配。技能不是无脑选强力技能（通常SP消耗很大），SP循环起来了才能确保持续作战能力。 7、支援角色。满足条件后会出来放一个技能，一般选罗格性价比最高。 8、比对1代纯回合制，2代加入了即时制的要素，也更具策略性。各种招式演出效果很华丽，算是比较好的还原了原著中的各种魔法。 九、吐槽 老实说妖尾这么多魔导士，各种各样的魔法，做成无双非常合适，希望未来能有一部妖尾无双。况且2部游戏的剧情也不完整，天狼岛前面的剧情也没有，对于粉丝而言还是不完整的。 十、总评 粉丝向作品。如果是日系RPG爱好者的话，也建议打折。

Contrary to popular opinion, I actually think this game is a step-up form the first one! I love the new fighting system, where you actually have to react in time but still don't get locked into helpless button-mashing. As someone who would never be able to even fight a single monster in a souls-like game, the difficulty for me was very pleasant, though I understand it might bore some better players. However, it is still an improvement compared to the turn-based style of the first one, which didn't really fit Fairy Tail's vibe, I believe. The leveling system of the characters has also seen improvement in my opinion. instead of leveling random characters that you never play with points you gain in missions, you now have to actually use them in fights if you want to level them equally. The leveling now is branched, you get to choose which abilities to put points into first, etc. I quite enjoyed it. HOWEVER, the crafting system at the magic cauldron was annoying garbage and I want nothing to do with it. The fact that you couldn't sell the lacrimas so they just clog up your inventory while you search for the ones you actually want to use? Hot garbage. the fact that you can't reliably farm materials, especially minerals, or buy them from the merchant? Hot garbage. The fact that levelling up one lacrima to full max swallowed soooo much of the materials and then I even have a limit on how many of one item I can carry? Absolute hot garbage. It was so annoying that I at some point completely forewent the lacrima-leveling and just brute forced missions with overlevelled characters. The story felt fresh to me, and maybe it was just a rehash of happenings past S2 (did not continue watching after the aging up time skip at the end of jpn S2) but I was genuinely impressed by how invested I was. The side stories you can listen to at the campfires did not interest me as much, but I still felt like it wasn't just a rehash of the show. Mission wise, the collect missions of the first game made a return, although not as prevalent. Otherwise, most missions lead you through the story in some way, otherwise it's more fighting missions. pretty standard I'd say, nothing special or ground-breaking here. The map design is such a huge improvement, the regions are no longer built like long tunnels that you teleport to from the main city, but you have actual fields and everything connects to each other in a semi-open world. There are now multiple cities to explore and actually do things in. What this game severly lacked for an anime with so many outfit changes for basically all its characters was... different outfits. you get one outfit and later on a differently coloured version of that outfit. Erza is the only exception with her armour here. The DLCs for different outfits I found even worse. Chef outfits? really? why not actual outfits from the show? such a missed opportuniy, I so dearly wanted to dress the chracters up in all their different outfits... ALSO, no Sting or Rogue in this game, not even in the DLCs, Absolute disappointment, I was so sad :( All in all, if the first game was a "maybe, if you really enjoyed the show", then this is a "if you even remotely liked the show, it's a yes". But skip the DLCs.
