The real surprise for me was the Song of Sword and Wings of Lost Paradise myth. I finished playing it a year ago, but the memories of it still evoke emotions. The most important thing is that it is difficult to single out any component in this myth that would stand out from the rest. EVERYTHING is at the highest level: locations, music, plot, puzzles and of course the interaction between characters. The character of each person is revealed in its own way as the story progresses. And therefore, for me this part of the game became special, a real masterpiece, after completing which I would not care about the reward, but I just wanted to watch the characters and find out: “what will happen next?” And what was very pleasing was that the finale turned out to be very worthy and did not drop the high bar, as often happens.
Main story is enjoyable until Hollow, at least for me. Idk why i don't like Hollow, maybe coz I'm currently stuck there.. Luckily there are countless side stories to do... so Woohoo
Because there is almost no storyline in Hollow. You got dumped to new open world to explore but your journey and connection to main story is almost not existent
xD I love your rankings on some of the stories. I absolutely agree, Two Knights saga is some of the best AE has to offer. I don't know though, I feel like Western Mythos is a 20/10 for me. (But that's because I love the Western Mythos way too much.) I'm curious as to why you ranked Wyrz Saga II a 0. Is it because nothing happens?
Correct. Wrysaga 2 has almost no storyline. You just run and explore the dungeon and play sending the Iridian for minigame On Mythos Song/Western, I deduct some point because you woukd not fully understand the event without reading many books in the map. This is a very old story telling method from Tale of Destiny PS1 era; while Knight saga tells all the story fluidly
@@seriouslyfun9740 Very fair. Perhaps I like that sort of storytelling, so that's why I rank it so high. And I absolutely agree with Wyrz II. It not only felt like a left turn detour, but it wrapped up Wyrz's original motives really fast. (At least from what I remember without spoiling too much.)
It really saddened me to see the downfall of the quality in recent story. In my opinion, due to stellar awakening, WFS is only focus on the content, battlecreep, and not about the story itself. My theoratical solution to this neverending problem are one, revamp SE into much more accessible in grinding, maybe in the level of job scripts, and also rework old characters to be much more useful in current meta (WFS actually doing good at this). Secondly, invest more time in story developing. I don't mind about waiting a long time to wait a new content, i just want great story overall. And lastly, allowing pity system into gacha and increasing the percentage of 5 stars into 1-2% must are the must for this game. AE is my favourite game because of its magnificent storytelling, even exceeding fgo, so if WFS don't do something, AE will end up like FFBE global
On story POV, side story is far superior. The main story structure is great but implementation from one point to another point is very lacking. I feel like they are implemented by 2 different teams and just combined together 😅
Is it just me, or do you think that the downfall of the quality of recent storyline, from main to event, are all related to the arrival of Stellar Awakening?
@@seriouslyfun9740 yea but those stories are still great, especially the wanderer in the binding night which is the best episode. I think the downfall off the quality is the wryz saga forward. Because of the stellar awakening, WFS tends to focus on just content map, minigame and not the story itself. The reason why I love Another Eden is because their storyline is the best among gacha games, even exceeding fgo, so i really sad to see my beloved game has begun its downfall
@@Totoru555 AE is 2D game. Without good story, it would lose in competition against many 3D gacha games in the market. I just hope WFS executive would finally realize where the AE strength is before it is too late
Oh and btw, why do you think 3000 realms is messy and 1000 years Ark is great? I don't like the humor and comedy in 1st chapter of 1000 years ark and 3000 realms is still good.
In 3,000 realms, Aldo travels to various Hokoras which end up not serving the purpose. And at the end, Synth hydra gun can break the barrier, thus making synth hydra gun more effective than the team effort in running through various Hokura from the begin with. The episode also cannot fully explain everything in itself and has to rely on Pizzica 3rd character quest to explain the ending
I'm returning to the game from about a 2 year break, and definitely need this for the latest content! Thanks for sharing!!

That speaks the volumes of how good the writer was.❤️
so to clarify the story that will be expiring this year is Chronos Cross, was there any more I thought there was, but asking to clarify?
Cc expires on dec2026. No other contract has expiration date
A new player starting the game today will probably take 2 years to catch up to where i am now. The game is improving every year

Side story are actually better than the main story in my opinion

I'm newbie. Which the first side story prioritize? Thank you
Focus on main story first
So many content in the game
So many that I can create such a VID
Is it just me, or do you think that the downfall of the quality of recent storyline, from main to event, are all related to the arrival of Stellar Awakening?
Related to leave of the old writer(mythos western writer) and then we got new writers for mythos Apex and Wanderer in vortex
