The Overlord of the Octopath Traveler Continent and the Sword of the Lily of the Valley are the two pixel mobile games that Brother G most wants to experience in depth in 2023, and friends who have often read Brother G's articles recently already know the result, "In a fit of anger" abandoned the Sword of the Lily of the Valley, and waited for the days of the Octopath Traveler's national uniform, Brother G tried several new games but failed to stay, and once again "in a rage" to overcome all difficulties and rush to the Octopath Traveler Taiwan server, and then Brother G plans to talk to his friends about the first day of experiencing the Octopath Traveler without too many spoilers.
First of all, Octopath Traveler has a strong SE flavor on the screen, both the shadow of Final Fantasy, and the traces of Dragon Quest, from the picture setting to the plot setting, it exudes a strong traditional Japanese RPG flavor, "cua" pulls the memory of Brother G back to the days of playing the first generation of Final Fantasy 30 years ago with a translation of a crappy strategy book;That's right, the translation of the mobile game is still so lame! The strong translation flavor makes it difficult for Brother G to substitute into the plot, not to mention that the Taiwanese version has been carried out far away, such as Nier's mechanical era has returned for the second time, which is destined to have a huge difference between the next experience and the national server.
In terms of character setting, Octopath Traveler focuses on a "large number of people", if friends have not played Octopath Traveler, there will be a certain learning cost, and the scene is very gorgeous, showing the three-pixel scene that could not be achieved many years ago in the mobile game. For players who don't particularly like or are particularly familiar with JRPGs, Brother G feels that the graphics of Octopath Traveler are easy to dissuade players, because the Sword of the Valley of the Valley has already been preconceived.
Octopath Traveler and the Sword of the Lily of the Valley can achieve a "complete defeat" result in the comparison of the picture, it is indeed a JRPG, but the Sword of the Lily of the Valley, which is also pixel rendering, can add a modern feeling to the medieval picture style, and take the next city first.
In terms of combat, Octopath Traveler's expressiveness is decent, as long as friends have played any stand-alone version of the Japanese RPG game, they will enter the rhythm very quickly and find the feeling, it is not difficult to get started in the early stage, and it will be a little troublesome in the middle and late stages, but this is all for later. Octopath Traveler can see the depth early in terms of values.,First of all, it's very substantial in terms of plot.,The character plot that will be unlocked from time to time makes Brother G scratch his head.,Often asks, "Where did this guy come from?";It can only be said that there is not much sense of substitution.,In short, it's good to get the ruby of the card drawing.。
The second is that some levels need to be brushed up.,Octopath Traveler uses a mob "Dark Thunder" to meet the enemy in the wild or in some maze scenes.,The boss is "Ming Thunder".,If you don't want to hit the boss, just hide.,Running around the screen to fight monsters to upgrade.,JRPG's flavor "cua" came up again;People who like this kind of setting may like it very much.,Players who don't like it will directly have a sense of resistance.。 In terms of lineup configuration, since Brother G has temporarily invested all the draws in the linkage role, he has no experience of his own, and these feelings are not high level, there are fewer skills to unlock, and I can't see the degree of cooperation and routines, so I'll talk about it later. The more interesting part is that they really like the setting of the hotel in the RPG game, even in the mobile game, they have not forgotten to set up a hotel in each city, and they can recover full HP and SP by resting for 20 gold coins.
Judging from the overall feeling, the performance of the overlord of the Octopath Traveler Continent in the early stage is really unable to beat the Sword of the Lily of the Valley, the character creation is not deep enough, and many plot dialogues have the same "middle two" characteristics as always, compared to the role of the Sword of the Valley of the Valley, it is easy to remember, and the rhythm of the plot is more natural. In terms of numerical design, it can be seen that Octopath Traveler is destined to be "liver", no matter which stage it is in the early, middle and late stages, "brushing" is inevitable, but the soul of JRPG games is like this. Let's take a look at our Sword of the Lily of the Valley, which has become a food collection game in the middle of the game, it really makes Brother G regret that he doesn't know what to say, if the value of the Sword of the Valley of the Valley can be stretched a little longer, don't let the player's mercenary group level and role reach the full level too quickly, let the equipment development, tarot cultivation, and talent development be appropriately increased a little faster, I don't know if it can delay the feeling of receiving vegetables in the middle of the game.
After playing Octopath Traveler, Brother G experienced the importance of "positive feedback", the goal can be placed a little farther, and the cultivation process can be a little longer, but every bit of growth must be experienced by the player, this process can be slow, but it can't be stuck, and after a week of hard work, I finally found that the team characters were standing still, and the designer should be dragged out to play. Considering that the Sword of the Lily of the Valley is a war chess game, if it is an RPG game, it will be easy to do, if the war chess game adds too many manual brush elements, then the player still can't buy it, how to change it is still left to the Sword of the Valley production team to think about, Brother G don't "point the fingers" or "get the axe of the class".
In the end, Brother G wants to end the content of this film with level design, # "Octopath Traveler: Overlord of the Continent" #的Boss被属性克制之后是会眩晕的, which gives players time to breathe and adjust their tactics; It's a pity that the characters' standing dubbing and wonderful performances, and it's a pity that in the first two months of the service, the wonderful plot inside and outside the door are interlocking!
