    I think the reason is the audience themselves, lack of marketing didn't help much but it's the people themselves the real reason I think. Alot of Westerners aren't into turn based or anime like games and there are some who are more into gameplay than story. There are alot who prefer mindless fast paced shooting or Hack and Slash over slow, strategic turn based games.

    Out of curiosity, why did you decide to play the version of Eiyuden that was the most likely to have errors and bugs (Switch)? Setting yourself up for failure. Aesthetically, Bravely Default is more boring to look at than Eiyuden in my opinion, but of course thats objective

    • @TheThirstyMage
      @TheThirstyMage 4 месяца назад

      Jordan is the Reviews Editor at Nintendo World Report, so he was obligated to review the Switch version of the game. Even with the Switch being underpowered compared to other platforms, a game with this type of retro aesthetic shouldn't be struggling this much. Many games with much more graphical demands run much more smoothly.

  • @soppybottomboys1195
    @soppybottomboys1195 4 месяца назад

    You really need to play this game on ps5 or pc, which sucks because this game has a major bug that affects all Platforms. The encounter rate is locked to your FPS. PC players with a really high FPS can run around forever and not get a random encounter

    • @TheThirstyMage
      @TheThirstyMage 4 месяца назад

      Definitely feel like there are going to be a ton of updates for this game as the developer irons out the wrinkles. The addition of a toggle to control the random encounter rate should be first on the list.

    • @soppybottomboys1195
      @soppybottomboys1195 4 месяца назад

      @TheThirstyMage a few updates I don't think were mentioned in the podcast after finishing it. The weapon system is annoying, but this was 100% ripped straight from the suikoden games. There are 3 attendant slots you can throw all the characters that the game forces on you for the story so they can be there for the story but not combat. (You can even throw the main character in that slot and never use him) Also with this being a suikoden game, you have will have to also have to play this game with a character recruit guide.

    • @TheThirstyMage
      @TheThirstyMage 4 месяца назад

      Thanks for info! We recorded the episode a few days before the official release (playing a review copy of the game) so there's already been some patches since then. Definitely agree with you that a guide in regards to recruiting would make the game much more enjoyable. Probably already a few online that folks would be able to use.

    Final fantasy 6 is in no way whatsoever better than 7. The story is good. Other than that it's backtracky AF. I wanted to give it a run through again as I hadnt beaten it more than once (FF anthology original ) and until the story started evolving, it was ass AF.

      It's funny, I was sure I made a video on how to make them but now I can't find it. The gist of it, I purchased a bunch of bargain basement DS games for the boxes, created box-art based on Pixelmator, and then hot-glued à micro-SD holder into the box. Worked great and they look great on the shelf.
