Recently gave a try to this franchise because i couldn't stop seeing those "Cold trails" (or steel? don't remember) advertisements, I just remember the characters looked cool, and I wanted to try a turn-based rpg for once since i never play them normally, I usually say no to them, but hey let's be open-minded maybe i'm wrong...
Started FC last month. And let me tell you...I was sold! I was Hooked! I just knew I was witnessing something great! The Story, the Characters, The music just bangers after bangers, the Worldbuilding (The fact that the devs made a point that right now we are in Liberl with our own problems but there are bigger nations minding bigger scale stuff) , The Gameplay! Please explain this to me...How the hell a 2005 game feels so refreshing?? Even the dialogues aren't boring, they feel organic and always push the story forward (Square Enix takes note now!), no waste of time just straight to the point!
And then comes SC....Ohh SC my dear...Ahh SC my beloved, it's undoubtedly a masterpiece! The best 100 hours I had, I can't believe I was sleeping on this all this time, I love Estelle, I love Joshua, Agate, Olivier (probably my favorite) everyone! I loved how everything came together, especially the relationship between characters!
I hesitated to start with the remake, and I am so happy I took the decision to start with the 2004 one, these games got that 2000's vibe which was very nostalgic (UI, soundtrack, chara-design), and thought it would be cool to see the evolution.
Now looking forward for 3rd chapter, heard a lot of good thing about it, all to say Bravo Falcom you got yourself a new Fan!!
