Cutie Gwen
Lovely warrior
Oh I have plenty of other criticisms but I've learned that people will only care that I dislike the designs so I just tend to not bother listing them. Here they are in the spoiler tag. Warning, in game spoilers tooBe like me you users.
Dislike the designs but like the game.
The Swamp way will never lead you astray.
Cinematography sucks due to the camera angles in in-game cutscenes tend to focus on breasts alongside the fact that changing to a different camera shot counts as motion so a different camera shot makes breasts jiggle.
The writing can be inconsistent with the game itself in terms of sex appeal with Pyra saying that Poppi QTpi needing more modesty despite Pyra's outfit and Brighid criticizing Tora for constantly being horny despite Brighid often being placed in camera angles that show off her boob window.
Nia ends up feeling like a rehash of Melia by having her crush on the protagonist but not being able to get the guy which tells me they went "Quick! Copy the first game, people liked the first game!"
Combat is very different from the original to the point X resembled the original more despite 2 supposedly being for people disappointed by X.
No more custom clothes which is very disappointing as it was a thing in the prior games with X making big improvements on that.
You can't do auto attacks while moving any more which makes the game feel more sluggish, especially if you're like me and often moved around so you could exploit moves like Backslash, it's not really a lot of damage but again, not being able to move alongside the fact you're hitting them less if you want to use arts with body specific conditions makes it seem a lot slower .
Voice acting can be rather off for lots of the game with Rex resembling Black Clover Dude as he shouts a lot.
Getting Blades uses a Gacha esque system so of you want a specific blade you saw and liked, you need luck.
You can release Rare Blades, the ones who give you more sidequests, which shuts you out of more of the game and needing luck to get the sidequest back if you end up wanting to do it.
Rex is very vanilla as a protagonist similar to Shulk, but I end up caring more about Shulk due to his relationship with Reyn and Fiora which is right at the start of the game too.
If you forgot something or want to learn something in the first game, there's a handy dandy tutorial option that's charming and lets the characters teach you how stuff works. If you want to relearn something in this game, you need to buy hints, which I find rather punishing as I could have used that money elsewhere.
Tora is an absolute creep and showcases how bad the sexual humour can get in this game. I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to LIKE my party members after all.
The Affinity Chart used to provide for so much world building by showing you NPC relationships but now it's just your Blade skill tree which sucks as it makes me want to do less sidequests as that could fleshen out the NPCs and world more.
Oh, and the art style just looks uncanny as hell. Elma looks surprisingly good in it to be fair
