I love the game my only complaint you can't get a lot of outfits for your character to wear in game I just hate wearing the same outfit for my character in the story it's not fair all the female characters getting new outfits but not your character that's my only complaint
Dorothy is permanently glued to my team, whenever she’s available 😆 but sometimes it’s nice to bring Medina back and do a couple battles with the Alicization Lycoris squad (in AL I ran with Eugeo tank, Alice as healer, and Medina as a sub-DPS alongside myself).
I am avoiding Medina with a 10 foot pole. She's probably gonna be the last character I go for max affinity
@@Gamerturkwell to each their own, everyone’s allowed to like and dislike any character they want 🤣👍 maybe I just have a thing for tsunderes or something.
I’m not even done the game. But the title “Last Recollection” is probably the best way to describe the game. I love it so much. It has officially pushed HR off the pedestal for me.
I am LOVING the game. the combat is exactly what I wanted, the Lycoris animations with the fluidity and satisfying feeling of HR. Not to mention MAH BOYS Agil and Klein are back. Gonna be running with Asuna, Agil and Klein and sometimes switch one of them out for Dorothy. It has its what I like to call "Iconic Aquria flaws" but it is definitely better than I was expecting it to be.
I absolutely loved Kainan. He was so funny and even went through some kind of character arc. He was a great inclusion.
Before I share my thoughts about this game, I want to make it clear that I absolutely love SAO and that I mostly play the games for the story. That being said, I have lots of (mostly negative) points I'd like to share. I'm currently half way through chapter 9, so there are probably some spoilers here. There are a few of your points that I agree with, so here I go:
CONS:
This game honestly feels like a cheap cash grab, especially for the $60 - $85 price tag. Sure, the movements and combat are smoother, but putting base game stuff like pillow talks into DLC feels kinda 'scammy' to me. You get way less (that admittedly COULD be seen as a good thing, story wise) for the same price as AL. For what this game does, it could have easily been a massive DLC for AL.
The menu was a lot easier in AL imo.
Lack of high-quality 3D movies. The previous games had 3D movies that felt a little special when you reached them. LR completely misses that.
Lack of main story CG's compared to AL. I play these games mostly for the stories and characters, and when I look at AL gallery compared to LR, it's just sad. They only use it in the episode quests. I'm really not a fan they replaced using CG's with 3D animations that don't look all that good.
Removal of the 'dating' system. I don't want to fight the same things over and over again but with different characters. Raising everyone's affinity is so much harder now. They also removed walking around town with your main partner.
No weapon upgrades (blacksmith) as far as I know.
No day/night time. There is no sense of time and Kirito acts like he's known the 10 warlords for ages, even tho we've never seen that development.
Sprinting is so annoying. You start with jogging, followed by sprinting. Why can't you just sprint from the start?
Replacement of sacred arts (R2) for a new ability that gets barely used. Now you have to use a precious skill slot for a sacred art.
The game is pretty small. For an area that is supposed to be significantly larger than the human realm (looking at the main map), the map feels shockingly small.
The gameverse character introductions feel very lackluster. They're just there, hell, they introduced some characters twice and I didn't feel a thing. Eydis is just there, Mito doesn't even get introduced, she's also just there.
From what I've heard, it's gonna take waaayyy too long to get the final skills in the skill tree, especially with how tanky all these enemies are. So I'm probably not gonna do those.
You still can't customize other character's outfits.
PROS:
Dorothy. I really like her character so far. She pretty sweet.
Sarai. Even tho she has had a pretty dumb moment in chapter 9 I believe, I still forgive her. She's just so precious.
We finally have the goddess outfits!
Movements and camera are much smoother in this game.
There are probably more points that I could mention, but these are the main ones. Thanks for reading if you took the time to do so.
I love Dorothy’s character it’s soo much better then Medinas
I like Medina quite a lot actually but Dorothy is also precious 😆
One it's tsundere and the other it's shy but both have charm
I completely agree on the parts regarding the story, characters and the presentation. Dorothee is such a wholesome character and Kainan aswell, the Mr. Crabs of SAO.
If I didnt forget anyone, there is actually nearly every character from Animeverse and Gameverse in the game and I love the diversity =)
In general I really like the games version of the "War of Underworld"-Arc, the ending had me tear up a bit.
The simplifications and improvements to combat feel really good, compared to Lycoris. Tho I do miss the old skill tree system and the passive boni you could assign to characters (now they are basically fixed by their class and weapon). There was much more diversity for builds in Lycoris, you also had the personality traits and more classes (not just the 3 that are in Last Recollection, even fixed for everyone but Kirito).
I feel they improved on many things, but also did steps back on others sadly (feels like they wanted to apologize for Lycoris since many hate that game, but at the same time were to afraid that those people are going to hate Last Recollection too).
The Endgame is...meager. And sadly wont improve much I think, since the two DLCs are supposed to bring the bed scenes and character events mostly (speaking of which I have Eugeo on Affinity 5, still I got no special outfit/quest for him unlike I had for Alice and Dorothee?).
The levels feel a bit smaller and restricted compared to Lycoris, and not so "alive". Might be due to the setting in the Dark Territory.
All in all, despite the stuff I criticized, I enjoyed the game and its story very much, the ending made me very very happy, it is how I had wished the Animeverse to end Alicization :)
Unfortunately as somebody who hated Alicization Lycoris, I had zero expectations for this to be good, but they've improved so much. Started Chapter 4 and loving it so far. A big highlight for me was running a melee build during the fight with Iskhan and it's pretty hype.
I've been enjoying it its what i wanted: alicization, lycoris was
I dont have many thoughts to add to this video, but i do have a funny bug story.
I bought a rare find pair of knuckles in obsidia and equiped them in the shop menu, but they didn't equip to my character, they equiped to strea for some reason!
She completely works, too! The melee sword skills, finish art, and animations are all fine. The only issues are that her sword skill selection menu is blank, so she's stuck a with the default moveset, and the knuckles sheath location is at her right Shoulder for some reason.
In the equipment menu only greatswords and the knuckles she has equipped appear so if I don't want her damage to fall off im gonna have to change her back to 2 handers eventually, but im gonna keep her like this as long as i can.
Ima wait for it to go on discount, and after a few updates.
I love the game and I hope we gets more visible Outfits in the game
You DEFINITELY need to dig into the details of the Command Palette… there’s 4 categories there: healing, reaction to enemy status, follow-up action, and a direct command. All of these can have up to 3 actions listed under them, and from the tutorial I believe they can have 3 tiers of 3 actions that can be used in different scenarios (though I haven’t figured that part out yet).
The Command Palette starts out as a simple way of commanding allies, and when it’s not enough anymore, that’s when you dig in and discover how to customize it. I can now order Eugeo to heal himself, jump in and shield an ally with low health, then heal himself again- with one command. I can have my Alliance-type healer fire off 3 different healing skills in a row that stabilize the whole team, then give a second command to have them run some buffs. Heck, if I wanted to I could turn the command palette into a third skill palette for my own character.
But obviously that kind of detail is gonna drown anyone who’s just starting the game, so at first it’s just got a basic action under each command so that people can get used to using it in the middle of combat.
Yeah, I actually discovered that all the way back in the demo, but simply decided not to bother because the initial onboarding to the system lacked a decent enough intro. Im just hoping I can get by, the same way I got by without having to do anything with character personalities or action chains back in Lycoris ^^'
@@GamerturkI hear you 😂 but I’ve found that, with light sacred arts in particular being nerfed into oblivion and healing items being expensive, healing is much harder to come by; so I at least had to make sure I could order my healer to spam skills and heal my entire team “Right Now”. Everything else just kinda happened as a result of that.
I played 10 mins just to check I got the pre order bonuses and then booted up AL...so many pop ups came up since I hadn't touched it in forever
Ah, that's just the tradition with all Aquria games.
You are supposed to skip them all, and then be confused about mechanics during the game, at which point, you blame Aquria for really not having their tutorials sprinkled well throughout the game.
Sadly, it's been that way since IM/HF. Not an improvement since.
Yeah i found the sacred arts at an random moment and gave yuna the fire one that she at least has one attack
Can you rank the SAO games?
I'm chapter 8 with 22 hours in
One of the best SAO GAMES like fatal bullet huge change since lycoris, but sadly it feel like parting gift from Sao games franschise. After this no one will remember sao again unless they make another sequeal for kirito and friends in anime asap
My onky compaint is the health, i swear like the enemies coukd take like two swings and suddenly my members gets downed. Other than, the gameplay is awesome, I love the characters, and i think its my favorite one so far
Huh, interesting. That's the exact opposite experience than mine. I play on hard and as I said, I feel like enemies are no threat, but are just HP sponges.
@@Gamerturk Yeah, that's the thing too, the enemies are particularly hard or anything, but whoever I have gets downed a lot and I'm like "God dammit".
The game has been absolutely massacred on steam I have yet to play it yet due to other games but from what I have seen it reminds me of if HR and Lycoris fused so i'm looking forward to it
My only question is, does this game have raids to do in co-op like AL? I can't really find an answer anywhere..
rip xbox players, only having access to FB, AL, and LR with no access to any of the previous games and unless they have a ps or a pc they cant play or even experience the older games
If I had to complain about one thing, I’d probably gripe about them taking away my Parry 🤣 it’s less of an issue for myself since I use Sanka so much, but the fact that Melee still uses a Parry setup means they COULD’VE given it to us and chose not to. Sadge.
Are you talking about Lycoris's perfect guard parry?
@@LunarBloodRose27 I guess it’s called Deflect or whatever, it was the core of my fighting style in that game 😅 it was actually born in Hollow Realization, but they made it a little easier to pull off in Alicization Lycoris. You guard and then tilt the joystick towards the oncoming attack at just the right moment and it spikes up their break gauge.
@@thecrazycapmaster ooh that thing, it doesn't exist in Last Recollection?? I mean I was used to the perfect guard parry spam against multi-hit attacks for easy Hazard, but damn it I liked the deflect
Sounds like I may enjoy this game more than lycoris my biggest issue with that game was the amount of subtitle reading
Oh, don't have the wrong idea, there is still a lot of reading to be done. It's just much better paced and is not as overwhelming as Alicization Lycoris' Chapter 1.
If we get another SAO game (obviously not part of the gameverse timeline since LR is supposed to be the finale), what would you like to see from it?
I actually have a video coming up, probably next week. I planned it pre-Last Recollection release, but there were too many news to cover, so I couldn't make it ^^'
I know this is gonna be a dumb question but is there any pillow talk in the game? I enjoy the 1 on 1 moments ya have with the characters
Not a dumb question actually. And sadly, no. Bed Scenes have been reserved for the two upcoming DLCs this time around.
@Gamerturk that kinda sucks, they've always been something I've enjoyed and it's a lil odd how it isn't in this one 😕
So far, I don't like the lack of more and new skills. With the points you just buy upgrades for the skills but there are so few it's boring to be so repetitive
I love 2D
I think we need more 2d character model
Chapter 5 sucks you don't do anything only go to the objective and see some cutscenes that make me horrier
Did your face off against POH
No offense I know its first impressions but you are totally wrong on pretty much everything you said when talking about ally abilities.. A quick view of tactical arts in menu and u should understand pretty fast
I don't think you understood a single bit of what I said about the Ally Commands. I explicitly stated that the system is not complex at all, but the simplified presentation of it that is meant for newcomers completely falls short due to lack of easily provided information to ease them into the feature.
Feature onboarding is a very important topic. You need to give people a hook to explore a feature. People will not randomly explore menus in hopes of learning things. They will want to "just play the game" in that case and not engage with the feature at all.
I'm not talking about that part I meant your knowledge of what each option does is incorrect . the break option does not command your ally to perform a break it performs said skill after a break occurs. If you want your ally to perform a break it's frustrating bc each monster has diff breaks so I guess u gotta set up your team to cover all 4 break types and do it that way but I agree it is not casual friendly it requires alot of min maxing and research
I don't think this will be the last sword art game, Bandai said the same thing with lycoris and BAM one more new game, more games it's a good thing don't give me wrong xd
Nah, the game ends with the pretty conclusive way......... I would say, but even there, they sprinkled some hints of potential plotlines
They could come up with a new story maybe even reboot the gamer verse for unital ring
Where is sacred arts in the menu?
If you go into the Skill Palette and try to change a skill, you can basically tab into Battle Skills, Sword Skills, Sacred Arts etc.
The game looks amazing
My reasoning may be a little strange.
But because of Eydis, I bought it.
And they modify her model, which is more beautiful than SAOAL. That's very good.
("˘ ω ˘")b
Enjoy your time with her!
@@Gamerturk Thank you. ("˘ ω ˘")
Where yuuki konno
Not in the first 5 chapters, because we are not at the War of Underworld part yet.
I’m really enjoying Last Recollection myself. Plus it’s nice to not feel compelled to constantly see the girls in forced-fanservice situation just to satisfy the horny-HORNY straight male audience. Heck, I’m surprised they remember they had female, gay/bi gamers 😂
The story, I like to say, has been entertaining but I wish there was more Yujikiri thus far but personal preference.
Edit: In terms of gameplay, it’s SO much more satisfying and less complex than Lycoris.
Agree on the 1st half about the female characters no longer just being there for horn dogs
But oddly enough I preferred the more complex Lycoris style, idk what it is but it really felt like I was in control and the diversity in combinations was just stunning
To me now it just feels very repetitive and more 1 dimensional but that's not a bad thing its more accessible to new players
@@Kirima-13Now we got more boys and as someone who’s been playing for 70+ hours, I’ll give them credit for the attempt at gender equality in terms of fanservice. It’s always bothered me how they basically did everything to cater to the horn dogs with the girls but at least now it’s OPTIONAL, same with the male fanservice so no unhappy customers 🥰 (Really, you raise their affinity and you can see a glimpse of the icon/title of said sub event.)
And let’s be real, most of the male players are gonna want to only focus on the girls, but at least this way, with 13 (attractive) male characters, we in the gay/bi/female player base minority get some recognition.
I was honestly surprised when they basically said Eugeo and Rogu are amongst the ones charmed by Kirito 😶 (after several years, Kirito finally gets to “let it go” 🤣🤣💙💜🩷)
Given what I love learned about the writer of Violet Evergarden so far, I can definitely say they earned my praise 👏🏽
So far I’ve been raising all the boys’ affinities (excluding Dorothy and Dee Eye for… research purposes 😗), since the SAO girls have had ALL the attention for years~ As most of the boys are attackers or tanks, switching Kirito to a support/healer helps 👌🏽
I do kinda wish we had more than just Arms/Invincible/Alliance though. Sorta like sub-styles/EX skills like in Lycoris.
But I can understand if you miss some of its functionality.
Edit: Excuse the giant reply 😅
Seeing bosses have HP totals in the high millions is just demotivating for me, I just have to spam X for so long until it dies. Regardless of that, I am absolutely in love with this game. The combat is great, the story is phenomenal, and the new world is a beauty to explore. I have a few issues with it, such as the massively dumbed down multiplayer, the complete removal of the affinity/dating minigame, and how long some cutscenes are.
I know the affinity stuff will likely be fixed in the paid DLC, but at the same time, there’s only one way to raise affinity being battle praise, and it takes forever to max out affinity with a single character.
on the "Story (Powerpoint)Presentation" side
this is the worst SAO's game ever lol
Fatal Bullet definitely had it worse with the in engine dialogue scenes. Much worse stock animation, and non-existant story etc. But yeah, as I said, 3D just does not have the charm that the 2D sprites and gallery images have, and actual cutscenes are too far and few in between to make a positive impact.
@@Gamerturk what a coincident comment about Fetal Bullet. after i finished the game i went back to play Fetal Bullet and surprisingly i have much better experience watching the in-engine dialogue play out in Fetal Bullet than in Last Recollection.
but what i really meant to say was the Cinematic cutscene tho, sry if i made you misunderstand.
in all the previous game they used to have this very well animated cutscene unlike in this one where it just look like what i used to do when i was doing PowerPoint presentation in school lol
also in this game at the end after finished the game you can see all of those cutscenes compilation from all the previous games. and it just made me go looking for those clip on youtube.
or i will just say "I like the Last Recollection part of the game" lol
disappointed with this game, it is copy past of previous game and story is really bad. Old sao was good.
My guy, how tf is it a copy paste.
Your opinion doesn’t matter
But your right about copy it look the same but I’m okay with it
Just because the art style is similar, which it should be, since they're in the same world, that doesn't not mean the entire game is copy and paste
