Triangle shirtwaist factory

I'm two hours into this game. When do I actually get to play?

Visual novelfags will say you’re being filtered, but the beginning of the game is incredibly slow. It’s like the complete opposite of a Souls game, where they tell you nothing. Triangle explains too much.

After chapter 4 it's done setting up stuff and the pacing picks up a lot.
Basically, you just wait until the war starts.

On my second playthrough and it just reaffirms my feeling even further that choices don't matter. Whether I gave Roland up or defended him, the end result was the same. Your House is independent and you're indebted to a salty douche while Roland fakes his death. You guys can defend it all you want and talk about how impossible it would be for them to write multiple branching paths, but if both choices reach the same conclusion and characters don't even remember what happened before it, then it's not a choice. It's not even an illusion. BioWare games, like SWTOR, maintain the illusion very well and characters constantly talk about things you did in the past.

But not this game. Roland will never reference whether I saved him or sold him out past chapter 9 because both routes merge and no effort was put into maintaining the illusion of impactful choice.

The game is full of contrivances. The Saintly Seven had your kingdom conquered if you submitted and requested aid from Aesfrost and yet they give you your kingdom back and withdraw all of their armies solely because the game needs you to still be independent. Hell, I WANTED to side with Aesfrost during my first playthrough and was happy when I was given the option to, complete with my territory on the map turning red. But the game railroads you into becoming a member of the saintly seven no matter what you do.

How can anybody defend this?

yeap the beginning is very weak and the principal characters feels really bland.

but all of these things are introduced just to being destroyed in the rest of the story making it really good.

its the very definition of getting filtered.

I'll admit i'm bothered by this too, I don't like the conviction system too, when I first saw the game explained in the trailers, they made it sound like every choice you made would influence how you'd be progressing through the game, but in reality, every scale of conviction part has one character that's undecided that you can easily persuade to get the choice you want.

Turn voices off, you can assuredly read faster than the terrible voice acting

I patiently wait for PC port along with DioField Chronicles and Front Mission remakes.

SRPG bros, we back.
