New forum theme up and running!
The story just felt like something we've all seen before many times. There's no real sense of wanting to try anything new. Political intrigue and magic = bad, check. A lot of the characters do things that are foolish in the name of developing the plot, like how the General's son doesn't reveal the killer because you can't speak during a speech even when the emperor giving the speech is DEAD. And, despite how much text it takes up in the little exposition, it seems EXTREMELY short, like that all of it happens in a couple days. Most of the description is exposition and cutscene-esque confrontation. of It reads more like a movie script in which the authors only have about two hours to introduce us to the characters, make us like them, have bad things happen to them, and then have them win in the end. The script rushes from one event to the next. There's no sense of grand exploration or slow, subtle development. The whole game seems to be like an hour long.
No joke. They really look kick-***.
