I was able to overlook the minor mistakes. For the most part, they were glaring but minor, and the third act sort of serves as a whole "let's make things right and get the happy ending", as well as letting players have a sort of "post-game" to play where everything is (almost) saved and at its best, so it was sort of whatever to me. That's how I take it.Īnd yeah, there were some issues (Jade's vamp abilities, and some others), but when has time travel not introduced that. Yeah, you get your ultimate happy ending, yay, but the second act still happened. Originally posted by Illusion of Progress:I, personally, don't see the third act happening as an undo of the second act, so to speak. ![]() I think the game is better off for having had the third act than if it had ended after the second, personally. We only get to see the whole of Dundrasil in the opening sequence (and the castle in the vision), but it'd have been nice to explore a revived one at the end too.Īnd yeah, there were some issues (Jade's vamp abilities, and some others), but when has time travel not introduced that. It was the one thing on my wish list I really wanted. I was hoping for, and disappointed that we didn't see, Dundrasil return at the end, given that you go there through the visions and almost everything else in the game is given a happy ending, but it wasn't there at the start and the common theme was "things go back to how they were" (Cobblestone and Heliodor both do, for example) so I wasn't expecting it. (end of game spoiler so warning) When Serenica has her own go around at breaking the orb of time to return to before the point Erdwin was betrayed, the "present" for the Hero and his friends isn't suddenly vanished or erased as far as it is shown like I was almost expecting it to be, so now I'm not even sure if it actually returns you to the past as was said, or splits into its own new timeline, but if it's the latter, this REALLY means the third act doesn't diminish the second act, but even if we presume it did return you to the past and undo everything after that point, I'd still say the third act doesn't diminish the second as it's entirely WHY the Hero goes back in the first place, and you don't get any more meaning than that it was apparent he felt something but it wasn't entirely clear to me if he retained all his knowledge or not? He also seemed to look at his party funny when he first reunited with them, especially Veronica, so. He had a vision warning him of the incoming attack at the tree, but even if he's mute, he does nothing to tell anyone of what happened, and only has the vision right before it occurred. That's how I take it.Īt first I thought the second act was sort of undone, given the game follows the hero's point of view, and it wasn't even clear to me if he remembered the undone past. I, personally, don't see the third act happening as an undo of the second act, so to speak. ![]() I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion but I absolutely hate this and wanted to get it off my chest.Įdit:okay so I just got back to octogonia expecting there to be a battle gauntlet or something, BUT THERE’S STILL A CASINO! WHY?! HOW?! BOOGA NEVER TOOK OVER! We get to time travel back to before the world tree fell, lose the sword of light and sword of darkness, jade doesn’t question why she can turn into a monster or why she’s in a bunny girl suit when she does, all the events of the side stories never happened so why were they even added, the scene where Sylv makes up with his father is ruined some there’s no reason for it to happen (which was the only part of the game that made me go from tolerating him to actually liking him), you have to relight the gloomnivore, Jade looses the vamp-up ability, Hendrik doesn’t form the last bastion (aka the thing that made him seem like a good person in the first place), Veronica comes back(and no I’m not just mad about that because I really didn’t like her), Rab can use pearly gates dispite never actually learning it, and all most annoyingly all of your party members have no memory of anything that happened during the second act so they’re basically different versions of themselves meaning the entire 20 hours the 2nd act took me to finish meant absolutely nothing. There was an opportunity for interesting stories like rebuilding dundrasil and heliodor or Erik’s sister or the way the world reacts to mordegon being defeated but instead of exploring any of that what do we get? Really? Time travel? Why? Why would they do this?
