| mrstickball said: My main concern with the story is how much they delve into the pre-journey aspects, or if it's going to be 'oh, there was a nuclear war 10 years ago. It killed almost everyone, but now we're in space! See you around, Edge!' I'm always a sucker for post-apocalyptic gameplay - be it Wasteland, Fallout, the destroyed world in FFVI, and so on. And having seen the gorgeous CG cutscenes concerning WW3 makes me hope against hope that they actually put together a feasable, good storyline in there. |
My main concern with the story is character development and pacing. SO3 had an above average story IMO but it did have some issues:
1.Some of the main characters were underdeveloped
2.The pacing was slow in the beginning after starting with a bang in the first hour which made it kind of dull
3.There was a ton of backtracking and fetch quests in the early part of the story
4.The "awful" plot twist, while not as bad as some gamers say it is, could have been executed a little better. Overall, I'm indifferent to that plot twist
5.Some of the villans were introduced and then quickly forgotten
Tri-Ace have assured fans that flaw #3 and 4 won't be a problem in SO4 like it was in SO3. I also have a good feeling about #1 and #2. Not sure about #5 since we don't even know about the villians or the actual story for that matter.
