    Welcome to nocturne, where the fear of a full party wipe at 80% hp by a random encounter is very real, not having 1 healing and 2 buff/debuff spells on every party member is a death sentence, where grinding is a necessity, and the final boss of the game is a block pushing puzzle minigame, oh and dante is in there somewhere, good luck.

    The funniest thing about this is that if you were not dead yet that monster was going to attack you again before your turn because it hit a critical, and when you hit a critical or the enemy weakness in this game it costs only a half action (1/2 turn), applies for enemies too. Did you see a icon on the right top corner of the screen? when this icon disapears it costs an action, but when it is flashing it costs a half action, you can perform a action for half of the cost (flashing icon = half turn)

    There's nothing challenging about replaying a section, especially this early in the game, over and over until your enemy misses.. it's just frustrating and bad design

    • @krimsonkatt
      @krimsonkatt 2 года назад +10

      Actually, hard mode in the original release of Nocturne doesn't change the enemies at all. It just halves EXP and Macca, that's it. Since in Nocturne you always seem to have JUST enough Macca on normal, halving it is a massive problem and doesn't actually make the game any harder, just more grindy. Therefore, playing on hard isn't why this guy lost. The guy lost in the video because the enemy got a crit due to being unlucky and not because the enemy didn't miss. Crits are incredibly powerful in Nocturne both for you and the enemy. That's why a physical build for the demifiend in that game is so OP. Crits give you an entire extra turn and deal like x4 extra damage. They're super strong, OP just got super unlucky in the second encounter where the enemy got a crit and killed them in one hit.

      @valegory 2 года назад +2

      the quality of design is subjective. i would argue that the unfairly punishing nature of early nocturne contributes greatly to establishing its tone and atmosphere. something being frustrating and not respecting the player's time isn't necessarily "bad" if it contributes to the overall vision. not for everyone, sure, but still not objectively "bad"

    • @echo.1209
      @echo.1209 2 года назад +8

      @@valegory I agree that the game's mechanics can contribute to the world-building and the overall tone of the game. But being thrown into combat for the first time after 10 minutes of setup and having the game kill me for no other reason than "The random number generator says you miss", doesn't make me go "Wow, this shows how the vortex world is really unfair and how tough life is for its inhabitants." Instead, it makes me go "This game is fucking bullshit" and then turn the difficulty down to normal.
      At this point in the game, the atmosphere hasn't really been established, and it feels more like the game is punishing me, not the world the game is built around. Maybe there is something they could have done right before this to establish better that the world is unfair, maybe not - I don't know.
      I will agree that maybe calling it "bad design" is not entirely correct. There are games (see: Pathologic) where the game is unfair, punishing, and really unfun, but it uses it as part of its narrative well. The world of Nocturne really is unfair, and maybe if you can't get past that first encounter, you aren't the person the game is designed for.

      @@persona3rulez It’s just true. The only « hard » megaten are the popular ones.
      The older ones are very basic dungeon crawlers (even easier than Strange Journey tbh). Tedious? maybe. but hard ? Never. In fact games like KMT are the few games I play casually on my phone when I’m bored and away from my pc.
      And the ps2 era onwards is no harder than its peers, yeah, they lied to you. SMT was never the dark souls of rpgs.
      Also pre-awakening fire emblem is the antithesis of grinding, stop talking out of your arse to slander games you know nothing about when cockturne requires money grinding in a boring minigame to keep up with magatama prices and IV with its horrible forced sidequests that pop up only at the nigh end of the game.
      Really shows how little you know even about your beloved megaten in general to boldly claim that no other game can beat it in difficulty 🤡. And immediately assuming every other game is a grindy boring mess? Yikes. Tell me the time where Final fantasy locked dozens of required boring sidequests behind the last section of the game so you can’t progressively complete them over the 50 hours of playtime, meanwhile every other sidequest you’ve done is rendered useless! No please actually tell me because I haven’t played any FF other than 2 hours of FF9 before getting bored, but since you seem to know it so well to call it a boring grindy mess surely you can name a situation like that? Right?
      Give up, you’re not a megaten fan either, you don’t know anything. You’re just a hipster normie who jumped on the nocturne hd bandwagon because you needed to feel superior. Megaten isn’t some unicorn peak fiction gaming of the century it’s one turn based rpg series out of many. It has good highs but on average it’s very mid.
