Welcome back. Glad that you're on this as well. Gone through it and preordered it and honestly surprised to see you start posting guides again, but glad to have you cover it.
It is nice to see you back! Missed your content!
I honestly wasn’t paying too much attention to this game but I’ll definitely try out the demo now!
Been a while. Glad to have you
Glad to see you back, and excited for this game! Eager to see people make content on it.
Do you think youll put spoiler warnings in future videos? I get we're all excited, but it sucks watching a demo video discussion and getting spoiled because you saw a leak or talked to someone with an early copy. Would love to stay tuned, but that wasnt great.
Yes, my content is always tailored to be as spoiler free as possible. This video has nothing beyond even the most minimal demo details as well!
If there’s anything spoiler related in a video it’ll be spoiler tagged and timestamped as well to allow people to skip and avoid it if need be! I hate spoilers myself so you won’t have to worry about that here
Welcome back! I am thrilled you want to cover this game. It’s going to be great.
I am sure the story will have some great unexpected turns.
Glad to see you back, thinking of picking this up on the switch as well !
Glad to see you back! I preordered this game a while back and am pumped for its release on Friday!
Funny enough, fire emblem was not what i thought about when seeing this game. It reminded me of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Rotk) series and Grand Kingdom. As a fan of all 3 games and of Vanillaware, i know i'll enjoy the full game. It very much feels like its own thing rather than a fire emblem clone.
Welcome back and I've been playing Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes for quite sometime and playing through Blue Lions to get 2 of the unique Abilities I want to add 1 being Annette's unique Abilities but don't know what she buffs when she activates.
2 Catherine's Ability which I got now it's just finish the game and to make it shorter by recruiting the Ashen Demon.
Can't wait to see Sylvain's reaction to the mighty female Ashen Demon😂😂😂😂.
I’m so in for this game. Play just enough of the Demo to know it’s for me, then immediately pre-ordered. Very much looking forward to your content!
I genuinely think it's nice to see you back. Your content is enjoyed. Hopefully this game is incredibly enjoyable for you~! We know we're a good 20 hours into playing the demo, up to our 3rd run which is full of generics for experimentation. I just wanna know everyone else is having as good a time as I am.
I love the attention to details in this game like how each unique unit and then each voice type for recruitables have unique voice lines to flesh out their personality.
Likewise, if a cavalry unit attack an infantry unit the infantry will look up to look at the unit on the horse, it's very subtle but very cool.
Also it seems the wedding ring isn't the unicorn ring but the ring of the maiden, the altar where you do the event is actually called the altar of the unicorn and the maiden. I guess the idea is that the unicorn and the maiden are destined to be happy together or whatever and Alain has the unicorn ring and their partner the maiden ring. It also seems from preview images that every single character can be married both male and female.
I'm getting my copy in the mail tomorrow I'm super hype 🎉
I heard about this Demo from FEMSPaint's video on it. Didn't finish the timer in my demo because I decided to just buy the game and wait until release to start over.
Ya just finished the demo and when I have the money I'm buying so dang good.
Right there with you brother. I love how much this game encourages theorycrafting, especially with how transformative the equipment are. Basically every time I recruit a new class and every time I liberate a new armory, it has me plotting new schemes.
This reminds me of the Triangle Strategy videos you did Linkking. I really liked that you covered that (awesome) game and hope this one is just as good!
I hope so too, and hopefully gonna try and get some in depth coverage with this one as well. The journey begins tomorrow!
I wasn't really interested in this game for a while, but then I saw one of the recruits was big lady. You are spot on that FE fans care about the waifus. I put 5+ hours into the demo, and the gameplay that I diudn't see the appeal from watching really vibed. Haven't found big lady yet though.
I ran to my switch to download the demo when you ordered me to. Well done.
I missed you Mr. LinkKing!!! Will be watching any UO content you put out
Ah yes, my go to guy for srpg related things has returned. I enjoyed your coverage of triangle strategy and I am looking forward to the videos you have planned!
This game sparked something inside me. The last FE game wasn't bad but lacking imo. UO is going to be so much fun!
Yay new content
YOU’VE been hiatus? Well, that makes me feel a little less bad. It’s been a while since I last saw one of your videos, but let me say for both of us, it’s good to be back.
Also, you don’t need a marriage mechanic to have a waifu in the game. Sure, it feels more special when the game acknowledges and encourages it, but it’s not a requirement in my opinion.
Am I the only one who likes the gameplay too much to care about the waifus in Fire Emblem games?
Same
Def not the only one, but in the minority. Personally, I find it possible to like both
FE is math with Tits. Remove either and it falls apart
Gameplay is one of my biggest priorities as long as I find the game fun I could care less about anything else
@starkillahx fair point, fair point. Counterpoint, when waifus are a gameplay feature, such as with FE Fates' marriage system, then Id argue its part of the gameplay fun
2:46 MORE PP
Glad to see you back Link. Its been a while (kinda, Lag's videos with you make it feel less so), but I hoped this game might bring you out of hibernation
I’ve been meaning to come back for a while but I practically live at my job so it’s been tough. Good to be back now though, gonna try and stay consistent with this game hopefully!
@LinkKing7 oof, hope it's at least a job you enjoy. Keep up the great work!
Will wait for your comparison to Triangle Strategy regarding the storyline. That'll make or break my decision to pick up the game despite aware of Vanillaware's prowess when it comes to storylines.
That can be arranged! I'll have to get through this story first, though I'll say right now, I'm not expecting anything mind blowing from the way it's started off
You mentioned how you don't think recruited Ally's would be brought up in future segments which is something i also thought but looking at the character shorts on the atlus jp channel, the one with the hammer girl you can recruit (or reject), shows her talking to Alain in a snowy area so that makes me unsure because this isn't a plot relevant character
I hope they'll have more involvement down the line! I assume a few of them might be involved in the stories of other recruitables, but I wonder about the overarching story in general is all. But I hope you're right!
Welcome back. This game looks interesting, I think I'll take a closer look. Too be honest, I was turned off with the title, but under the hood looks appealing enough.
lots of people lump it in with fire emblem but if you loved march of the black queen you'll love the game.
Welcome back...though I didn't know you were gone...I just cant get enough of lording over unicorns
He said PP hehe
I think fire emblem wish it was this good. The squad and tactics system, the way classes work, the way equipment work. It makes the game infinitely more interesting to me. No issue with people who still prefer fire emblem but I'm glad to finally see a game with genuine depth.
100% accurate. Well said.
I liked the demo, but had some concerns about the plot (uninspired) and battle design (way too much reinforcement spam, ranged support attacks strike me as much too strong). Still, this is near the top of my list for Switch SRPGs.
Definitely hard to judge the plot just from the first area, but I agree with you. We’ll have to wait and see I suppose!
I haven’t found the ranged support attacks hard to deal with personally, when there’s a lot using Josef/ a radiant knight or a fighter to lead a squad helps deal with them. You also for the most part only get a lot of reinforcements if you take a lot of time on the map, since they spawn at set intervals from enemy forts.
Hope you make more videos LinkKing is the best
The answer was yes. Triangle Strategy was good but never clicked for me; whereas UO was love from the beginning.
How about vs triangle strategy
I made an identical video to this for triangle strategy almost exactly 2 years ago
@LinkKing7 :> yeee I saw
I more so saying I think it be Interesting to compare the two once you have played both fully and have a more of a pro and cons between the two kinda thing 🤔
FF7R is going to have my collector edition of this game sitting on the shelf for a hot minute and that's a tragedy. Cursed release window. :(
Well I know I do
wish it was pc
Return of the king... or duke, I guess
You compare this to Fire Emblem...I compare this to Ogre Battle (originally for the SNES, released back in 1993). Why? Because the "map" and "battle" parts, along with party compisition, ARE THE SAME.
Obviously, there are new mechanics in Unicorn Overlord as opposed to Ogre Battle. But, hey, that is perfectly fine.
It should be compared to ogre battle since atlus made that. However there are tons of FE inspired units. Wyvern rider for example. This game also has elements of dragon force for sega saturn and the overworld has a very final fantasy 6 feel to it
@@bungmonkey2295 Safe to say it is inspired by many games.
I mean, if you love "further down the line" so much, may I offer "later down the road" - same but different, don't mention it
Although they both possess strategy elements within them, they are very two different beasts, where the relation between the two is very tenuous. I think comparing the two is like apples-to-oranges. Regardless, I find the game to be very enjoyable and a breath of fresh air, but not because I play FE, but because I enjoy strategy games.
Like Palworld to pokemon these arent copies...they are the upgrades
I don't think it will be underrated at all maybe undeersold but I expect reviewers to rate it quite highly
Uh... my waifus in FE are like 2% of the game 😂
Heck sometimes I let my waifus die cause that can be funny. 🎉😂
It's the gameplay in FE than hooks me, the TS is sublime.
Unicorn Overlord is phenominal for so many different reasons, but FE does the 'rapport' system better by a landslide epecially depending on the FE game.
Going to be real, the story is not doing it for me in UO, but i dont play tactics games for the story unless it's Triangle strategy or FFT 🤷♀️
Ive probably already decided to sell over 1000 hours of my life to UO because that demo was so dang good I know this game is going to get AT LEAST as much as TS got out of me, which were like 15 playthroughs. 😂😂😂
If you like tactics games in general its fine, I'm not sure EVERY person who likes the grid based format will tramsfer over easily but the game is at it's core really fun, and the loop outside of battles is also well done!
I wanted to like this game but I can't. Dont care about the story or any of the characters. I have only the vaguest sense of how combat is supposed to work, despite the game's efforts to explain it. If a fight goes badly I nearly never understand why or what I could have done to improve it. There are no options to retreat from engagements. Its possible to get stunlocked into bad situations. I have put ample time into trying to make this game make sense to me, restarting the demo multiple times, only to arrive to a place where I actively dread playing it. Cant justify a full price purchase. Sorry guys.
