It`s not my first SM game, but it`s my first mainline game (Devil Survivor was my first official one). I liked hearing your thoughts on the Law/Chaos system. I didn`t think much of it, but you make a point that they make it quite easy to point out what side your allies are on and which answers go towards Law/Chaos. I don`t like how black and white it felt sometimes. I wish choices were a little more vague as well as Walter and Jonathan. I also sort of wish there were `neutral` answers or some sort of way to get neutral. I feel like it could become more of balancing points to get the neutral path rather than going with your genuine answers. I don`t know... I feel like more of Isabeau`s progression is in the neutral path, so unless you take that path, it feels like she`s left a little under developed. I don`t know... At least she likes manga, right? For the most part, I really enjoyed it. The battle system and fusing monsters was fun, as well as advancing the plot. I felt I always needed to know what was happening next. It felt good playing an RPG like this again. I am hoping for more SMT in the future. I`d like to play another game from the series : ) |
I think that's what's so brilliant about Isabeau. I mean if you think about it, the MC is just as paper thin as she is. It's the first time I've actually wished that a silent protagonist would speak, but if you think about it, it's fitting. If you don't take the neutral path, you're basically seen by her as your partner's sidekick, and someone who got manipulated.
Or maybe I'm just giving them a little too much credit lol. I don't think she's great, just better than the other two in a lot of ways. I don't think the really developes much at all, but it does seem to depend on the path you take in an interesting way at least.
