    A lot of the bad dialogue was cut out, and a lot of the story is paraphrased, well it is intended to be that. But it really does a poor job to display just how truly bad the story is. And compressing it this way actually makes Frey look better. But that's a disservice to people, because they might buy the game thinking "oh it wasn't that bad" only to be hit hard with "oh no, it's way worse" For example. That bit where they go "I'm on Frey's side for this" about when the other girl's father died and she says she's not from here. They cut the bit where she actually tried to compete over how much more tragic a past they have by trauma dumping in return to go "Your pain don't matter because my pain is worse". Zero empathy, zero sympathy, zero cares. And by people, she doesn't refer to the people in authority, she refers to the people on the street.
    Because as you go around talking to the NPCs, the down to the ground people actually seem to like Frey and are welcoming to her. So yes. She was welcomed with open arms. Only the authority did her wrong. But despite being met with care and kindness from the populace, she decides you all can go burn to hell because of your political leaders.
    Also, up to this point, she has been raving on and on about how awesome her powers are. Back in New York, she lived a horrid life and seemingly had no friends. Here, she has a dedicated friend, a simp, and a few other welcoming folks. While the authority is on her hard, it was the same back in New York. And in New York, she wanted to both go to wonderland in a I'm dreaming of a better place, and on a realistic end wanted to go to greener pasture with Clean Air, Greenery and all that stuff which she has right here.
    So you pile on the tired isekai trope of the reluctant hero who wants to return to a clearly crappier and poorer life back at home where she didn't even like said home. And you get a lot of frustration with Frey that isn't conveyed well with how they're showcasing her here... Also, Vambrace is often the voice of reason, and the voice of empathy and sympathy in the game. He is literally the conscience on her shoulder trying to guide her to both be a better person and be kinder to people and to do good. The twist that he's a bad guy is there but it's kind of mid. Really the best part of the game is Vambrace. And he's only okay at best, because everything else in this game is pretty crappy.

    Fun fact: We are never told why Athia went to war with the nation of Rheddig, nor why they were so desperate they would summon a demon, as either a last stand or revenge. We are just expected to assume we are working for the good guys the entire time.
    Tantas’ victory is also widely known as the "Purge of the Rheddig." Which has some...implications.

    I think somebody on the dev team wanted to write a YA fantasy book but they didn’t want to go through the process of writing/publishing an actual book, so they made a video game instead.
    Also people keep forgetting that you have to make a decent game or two before you can add a bunch of lore to its world and not the other way around.
    Game studios keep looking at massive franchises like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon etc and trying to create something at the same scale right off the bat while forgetting that it took between 10-50ish years for all those different games to become the way that they are today.
    And that kind of success isn’t likely to happen on your first try.

      Well, technically, this was their second try, their first being Final Fantasy 15 which in comparison seems like an overall better game than this, although they still had the issue of a bunch of lore that isn't mentioned or explained very well. I think that makes people's shock at the quality of forspoken more than reasonable, 15 was actually decent, or at least a lot more ppl came out of it with a positive experience in comparison, with some even citing it as their favorite in the Final Fantasy series.
      Only thing that's a bit of a shame for me rn is Idk that square will ever use the particular game engine they used for this ever again.

    Honestly this game has one of the emptiest and most boring open worlds I've seen in a long time. Sure there are places that look fairly cool but there is nothing to the world. It looks fairly same and aside from collecting stuff there is nothing. No npcs to meet in the open world because all the people live only in this 1 city. No interesting sidequests or cool gear to find. All you get is cloaks and nails that give minor stat boosts which is the most boring form of rewards you can get in a game. New abilities to use or things that drastically change up how you play will always be way more interesting than stat boosts. So all you do is run around the world between boring sidequests and the main missions or going from map marker to map marker collecting stuff that is not interesting at all.

    i'd really love to see a post mortem on what the fuck went wrong with the development of that game... how did they manage to burn that amount of money and this being what they have to show for it...
    i mean the developers at bioware who worked on mass effect andromeda can at least say: "hey, management canned everything we had developed over multiple years, forced a complete engine change on us and we created that thing from the ground up in 8 months with a skeleton crew of mostly junior staff while the big wigs were all working on anthem." and i'd say that mass effect andromeda in the context of being developed from scratch in 8 months by mainly junior staff with unfamiliar tools in an unfamiliar engine... its fucking amazing what they accomplished in that short amount of time with the conditions set by management.
    but forspoken... from what i heard, they got everything they wanted, all the time they needed, all the money to burn and it just resulted in a cringy mediocre and sometimes offensive mess with a whole cast of unlikable bullshit characters... (cant rip on the va's though, script and direction were fucked. they did what they were told to do and seemed to execute that beautifully. they were told bullshit though...

  • @thegrimcritic5494

    Honestly, what could have made the Cuff/Sussurus a more interesting antagonist would be that if instead of just wanting to destroy Athia because it’s what he wants to do, have it be that he’s destroying Athia because it’s the only way his pact with the Reddig can end and finally allow him to go back to his own home. That way he can be a foil to Faye in that he actually SYMPATHIZES with Faye’s desire to go home because deep down he wants the exact same thing. The only difference is, of course, that Sussurus is willing to sacrifice anything and everything in order to go back home, whereas Faye learns by the end of the story that you can make anywhere home if you can find people to love there.

    I got to have some laughs from the ridiculousness of some scenes, while also amused on how you guys reacted to it as well.
    Would have hoped for more time at the end of the video for you guys to just talk more about your thoughts on the video and the game in general, but it was alright.
    Hope to watch more videos from both channels where you react to videos together, the interactions you have with each other, the small jokes, the tidbits of random stuff, just talking about the video with each other makes it quite enjoyable, it gives the video's more something? Don't have the word for it, but its great to see daily videos again, even if the cause for doing so is the new AC.

    Tbh this game could have been saved with some tweaks, (I know it was condensed but regardless of that I mean) Side quests, Morality scale(choose if you wanna be the hero or just someone trying to go home). Different endings
    And give susurrus the back story of a demon with contractual obligation to do the evil he does, something about him being trapped in an unfeeling gilded form until he's upheld his side of the bargain or something. Make the "bad ending" leaving and make em have to watch as susurrus crumbles the kingdom and mc(forgot her name already) sleeps in an alley. Or the good ending which is how this played out but frey(was that the name? Close enough) gives the loop hole of "If I rename the land then the kingdom of whatever is technically no more" full filling his obligation and then Sus just has to stick around until that goal is sought through
    Oh and obviously take out the dumb ass hour of being talked at about lore, make that shit part of a 100%ing easter egg or something, call em "fractured memories" and you gotta explore to find them like memories in BoTW or Dossiers in Ark. Remember folks, Lore is optional
