Me too. I’m a big fan of the Owlcat 1E games, but I love the 2E system so much more. Hopefully this is the start to more cRPGs built on the 2E rule set.
No, it’s probably closer to 4E. Unbounded accuracy. Three action economy. Martials and casters are well balanced. Character creation isn’t all about min/maxing, but more on party dynamics. Combat is very tactical.
2E please. Owlcat has a great 1E system and both Kingmaker and WotR were solid, but second edition is just a much better system mechanically and balance wise.
Neverwinter Nights had something similar with modules and there was a massive community built around it. Will be interesting to see how complex this system is when it comes to scripting interactions and events, managing assets, and building narratives.
The Unsung War from Ace Combat V gives me chills every time I listen to it. The gradual build up of the vocal layers, brass, and drums is incredible.
Remaster =/= remake. While the remasters looks great and fix some things, they’re largely just a cosmetic upgrade. Compare that with FF7 remake, which tweaks the actual gameplay and story, in addition to a massive upgrade to the graphics.
How about a FF6 remake while they’re at it?
Yep. I remember playing vanilla WoW and seeing guilds with names like “Sapped Girls Can’t Say No”, “Naga Stole My Bike”, and “Seal Cub Clubbing Club”.
